High Winds Knock Portion Of Trump's US-Mexico Border Wall Overhttps://www.zerohedge.com/markets/highs-winds-knock-trumps-us-mexico-border-wall-over
A portion of President Trump's $11 billion border wall (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-02-14/trump-unveil-8-billion-border-wall-funding-plan-tomorrow) with Mexico, or about $20 million per mile, blew over Wednesday from gusty winds, came crashing down on the Mexican side, reported CNN (https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/29/politics/us-border-wall-falls-over-high-winds/index.html).
Agent Carlos Pitones of the Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) sector in El Centro, California, told CNN that 130 feet stretch of the wall in Calexico, California, fell on Wednesday after high winds were present in the area.
Pitones said the cause of the wall crashing down was due to freshly poured concrete not yet cured.
The National Weather Service (NWS) said gusts in Calexico were up to 40 mph Wednesday, which the video below shows the wall leaning against trees adjacent to a street in Mexicali, Mexico.
