Moving a Piano By Alex Kazaryan

A young woman asked her father to help her move a piano. They have a couple friends to come along and hire a platform.
Suddenly, while she was draining away, someone said, "Uh, oh." (When you hear that - it's time to close our eyes and reach for your wallet.). The piano and tip back too far from them. While it is falling, its upper corner dug through the wall. The trench it made was deep enough to break an electrical conduit, which shorted and began to burn. Fire spread to the floor ... After the fire department was just left of the two apartments .... and the piano.
