    Yeah so this is not a joke...part of one of the walls of the Montreal studio of Ubisoft collapsed and buried a car in bricks and totaled it. I wasn't there obviously, so I don't know yet if anybody got injured or how bad the extend of damage to the building really is.

    To be honest I am not surprised. The building is an old factory and not in the best shape.... It was only a matter of time until something like this happened.

    Here is a picture from the scene... More news as they come in...

    UPDATE:

    Ok I got some more information on this and as it turns out this was actually done on purpose by the fire department which assessed that part of the building and found that the wall was in risk of collapsing by itself, so instead of taking the chance it was done under supervision. Strangely enough nobody cared enough to remove that car though.

    ouch. don't know about canada but in germany they would evacuate the whole building and never let anyone set a step in it again until every wall is additional supported imagine not the wall but a floor would break and would burry people/have them fall down the stories.

    It just fell over by itself? No fat guy leaned against the wall or anything?

    woah thats insane. looks seriously bad. makes me wonder why a wealthy company like ubisoft didnt do anyhting about the condition of the building if it was obvious.

    i think the only thing you really can do about the condition of a building like that is tear it down and build a new one. or for ubi specifically it should mean just move somewhere better

    I'd let them break my car anytime when I can make out with Jade Raymond in return.

    i bet you you can find prostitutes that look better and are cheaper everywhere.
