(Reposting because image upload failed the first time for some reason) Today I was nearly brained by falling hardware while teaching! OK, I exaggerate. I was a good 10 feet away, but on any given day, I quite reasonably could have been near or under the projector screen as it fell.

A photograph of a classroom at the University of Louisville, specifically NS 212C, with a thumb drive and key ring sitting on a desk in the near foreground. In the background the closest ceiling panels to the white board have fallen in, with conduits and support structures hanging loosely on the ceiling. An automated projector screen , a speaker, and miscellaneous mounting hardware are strewn under and in front of the fallen ceiling.

Over four months later, the university having scheduled classes into NS212C, facilities finally looked into the fallen projector and figured, "huh, maybe we should do something about this before the class scheduled next Monday in this room."

View through a classroom door of two workers, one on a stepladder and the other seated. There's still a hole in the ceiling like there was four months ago.
