👆colleague said "real issue isn’t that it was 300kg, but that it stuck in the roof hard enough to overcome gravity!"

despite this damage, the QLD government owned corp, CS energy, @CSEnergyQld fully intends to repair the unit and return to service.
CS energy is hoping that insurance will cover the hundreds of $millions of repairs.
