Gusty winds blew over a portion of President Trump's border wall with Mexico in California


A video posted on social media shows the section landing on some trees on the Mexican side of the border while construction workers continue to work in the windy conditions. Another video shows a slab of panel on the ground.

Were a bunch of politicians speaking there?  

It appears that some unfortunate weather came into the area while construction was in progress.

Agent Carlos Pitones of the Customs and Border Protection in El Centro, California, told CNN that the new concrete foundation had not yet cured when the wall panels fell down amid windy conditions.

Those in charge should better monitor weather conditions and hold off certain tasks when it is clearly not safe to proceed.  The pressures of time and money make this easier said than done but hopefully they have learned from this incident.  The next time, people could get injured.  

I've had wind blow my recyclables all over the neighborhood twice.  After the second time, I now check wind conditions and will hold the recycling until the following week if winds are forecast to be above 20 mph.
