Part of the wall built on the border between the United States and Mexico collapsed on Wednesday under the force of the wind. Several large metal panels are lying on trees in Mexicali, as shown in a video filmed by a local CNN antenna.
The accident did not claim any victims or cause material damage. According to the US weather services, gusts of wind of up to 60 km / h were recorded when the section of the wall, 9 m high, failed. Police responded immediately by diverting traffic from the area near the wall.
"Finish the wall! Is one of the slogans of Donald Trump in a meeting.
In fact he has not started to build it, it is the renovation of existing barriers.
And recently installed panels just fell downwind, the concrete was too fresh.pic.twitter.com/0Wou3e3OQ7
Wall works interrupted
Work to improve the quality of construction was underway at this location. New foundations had just been laid, a customs and border protection official told CNN. According to him, the cement had not yet had time to set. The duration of work interruption following this accident is not known at this time.
Many Internet users took the opportunity to make fun of Donald Trump, who made his wall one of his favorite subjects. Some notably highlighted a quote from the president saying: “I own buildings. I am a builder, I know how to build. No one is able to build as well as I do. "
"I own buildings. I'm a builder; I know how to build. Nobody can build like I can build. Nobody. And the builders in New York will tell you that. I build the best product." - @ realDonaldTrumphttps: //t.co/Ygj6vKqrdQ
