Bob Brigham sent SFist the above image--thanks, Bob!--just taken at Pier 7. What do you think is going on? Please advise.
Update: somebody's cigarette became stuck between planks in the pier. Firefighters had to cut a small hole. TV crews are there. Reportedly, anyway.



They're all from Valejo. They're waiting for the ferry home. They were in San Francisco buying gold toilets and other vulgar tinkets of nouveau wealth with their massive overtime payments.
After receiving their bill from the crappy restaurant next door, some poor tourist just wanted to end it all.
I hope this was an anti-littering effort. Because it seems like it might have been easier to pour a glass of water over the cigarette to keep the pier from catching fire.
If that's the story, it's quite retarded.
LAWLZ. This deserves a caption contest.
I was thinking they just finished a circle j... um never mind.
What's up with the dude in the middle without a helmet on?
Oh my God, the chainsaw...
