I was sitting at my usual bench, taking a break before riding back home, when I heard some loud metallic ringing. Sounded like a large church bell.
These guys were trying to straighten on the barrier poles.
It got bent somehow (most likely a vehicle backed into it...).
They were using a large piece of lumber (sitting on top o the bent post in this picture) to protect the stainless steel pole, while another guy was swinging a very large sledge hammer (looked like a 10 or 15 pound head with a long handle). They kept beating on it but it doesn't seem like it was bending so easily...
