Lionscrest Security has rolled up their sleeves to assist shifting a rockslide within Rockford with the help of controlled detonations and the use of a custom made plow, designed and manufactured especially for the scenario. The stone, which is estimated to weigh several thousand tones was shifted within hours, allowing for continued use of the roads before the day was done. Local government says they’re currently assessing what can be done to prevent this from happening in future, not only in this area but the entirety of the surroundings. Even local political figures came to pitch in towards the efforts of clearing the remaining debris following the majority of the clearance.

Good Afternoon Pierre, we'd be interested to hear you elaborate on your claims that insinuate Fulcrum is somehow involved or otherwise has interests within Lionscrest Security. We have never denied the fact we've had relations with Lionscrest Security in the capacity of receiving information, reports and stories that we go on to report, however the relationship goes no further and grants exactly zero change in the treatment they have received in past and present. I assure you that your accusations are quite unfounded.
Thank you.

Holy Guacamole! That's a huge Rockslide.
Nice job. Finally they are doing something useful!

Excuse you
FAKE NEWS. A Hummer can't tow a boulder half that size (h1 max tow weight is 8,500lbm, that's excluding the friction of a massive boulder on asphalt). Basic inertia applies too - unless you're crashing into that thing at good speed with a vehicle that size, the boulder isn't budging. There's a reason heavy bulldozers are tracked and weigh upwards of 100,000 pounds (13 hummers). Where's the journalistic integrity?

Hello there, we applaud your investigative skills. However, your accusations are misplaced. Your estimates would be correct if you had accounted for the fact these vehicles are heavily modified and outfitted with machinery designed for such uses, however we cannot elaborate on this due to our lack of available data. Much of the landslide consisted of clay and other lighter materials which gave little resistance. Along with this, multiple vehicles were used, also controlled detonations to break the larger stones up into smaller pieces, this was perhaps not made clear in the original article, though its relevance is minimal.
Thank you.

You can heavily modify your vehicles all day long, a hummer is simply not big enough to move a boulder of that size. There's a point where wheels and tires are not enough and you need tracks.
You specifically say "stone" in the article, not clay. You also say "several thousand tons" which would still exceed the tow weight of the hummer. It doesn't matter how "light" a material is - a pound of feathers weighs just as much as a pound of steel just like several tons of clay weighs the same as several tons of stone. Additionally, multiple pictures in the article clearly depict one hummer trying to move an object almost the size of the vehicle.

Quote:Thank you for your timely response. If you look at the 1st, 3rd and 4th image you'd notice there are multiple vehicles in use. When "several thousand tonnes" of stone is mentioned, it is meant in total.. not at a time, that would be a ridiculous claim. The reasoning for mentioning parts of the materials consisted of materials that differ from stone is that the materials size, density and weight is not the same as you would expect from solid stone or other similar materials. However, we cannot comment and further on account of not having the appropriate data to do so, we would recommend you contact Lionscrest Public Relations or similar for further and more detailed explanations.
Thank you

I see multiple vehicles - I also only see one doing anything. In the 3rd & 4th pic you can clearly see the left-hand vehicle is not even equipped with a plow.
Also: I understood the several thousand tonnes being a total weight. Being generous and saying several is equal to 4, that's 4,000 tonnes or just under 9,000,000 pounds. There's no way they would have cleared that in less than a day with those vehicles, even if multiple hummers were in fact used.

I beg your pardon?
How is my math wrong? Do you not know what a thousand means? It's simple math: 1,000 x 1,000 = 1,000,000. If you don't want imply something is in the millions then don't say you have >1,000 of something that is already >1,000, SIR.
This paper is APPALLING and your PR team is downright DISRESPECTFUL.
Nice to see FULCRUM insulting its readers. Clearly throwing away its credibility and showing, once again, that EBC and their associated newspapers are the superior media outlet.
