(VEHICLE BEEPING) (GLASS CRACKING) ♪ (WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING) ♪ JOHN WILSON: Hey. Everyone in New York
is going to die. But sometimes the city tries
to stop that from happening. Many people worry about things
that can kill them at eye level. But you're probably more likely
to be destroyed by something above you. This is why
the city has installed a sprawling network
of temporary sidewalk shelters to protect pedestrians
from falling objects. (CLEARS THROAT)
This is called scaffolding, and almost everywhere
you look in Manhattan, you are guaranteed to see
some form of it. It's as common
as a fire hydrant... or a honking horn, but most New Yorkers
don't even seem to give it a second thought. So, do you have strong thoughts
about scaffolding?
