Event carpets, ribbons, and just about everything can be custom printed with your logo, and the color green is popping up everywhere – from weddings to conferences and conventions. The color green is often associated with nature, growth, and vitality, and it is a popular choice for carpets, ribbons, and stanchions and rope, for several reasons. Firstly, green is a calming and soothing color that can help create a relaxing environment. This makes it an excellent choice for carpets, as we at CeremonialSupplies.com have learned, because it can help create a cozy and comfortable atmosphere in a room, when your overall décor demands it. Secondly, green is a versatile color that can complement a wide range of other colors. This makes it an ideal choice for ribbons, where it can be paired with other colors to create an attractive and eye-catching display. Finally, green is often used for event carpets, (looking lovely paired with stanchions and rope) because it is a highly visible color that can help direct people and create clear pathways, since most of us associate “green” means “go”. This is particularly important in busy public spaces, where safety and crowd control are a priority.

While groundbreaking ceremonies are typically celebratory events marking the beginning of construction projects, and the first –sod cutting ceremonies we see today are fun, creative events but nevertheless there have been a few instances where things didn't go as planned. Here are 5 groundbreaking ceremonies gone wrong as they encountered unexpected problems:

1. Hyatt Regency Kansas City Walkway Collapse (1981): During the groundbreaking ceremony for the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Kansas City, Missouri, a suspended walkway collapsed, killing 114 people and injuring over 200. The tragedy was caused by a design flaw in the walkway's construction, leading to one of the deadliest structural failures in U.S. history.

2. Taipei Twin Towers Fire (2002): During the groundbreaking ceremony for the Taipei Twin Towers, two 56-story skyscrapers in Taiwan, a fire broke out on the 56th floor. The blaze spread rapidly due to flammable materials left by construction workers, resulting in the collapse of one of the towers. The incident claimed the lives of five firefighters and injured several others.

3. Shanghai World Financial Center Fire (2008): While not a groundbreaking ceremony in the traditional sense, a significant fire broke out during the final stages of construction of the Shanghai World Financial Center in China. The fire, ignited by a faulty welding spark, engulfed the 101st floor, spreading smoke throughout the building. Fortunately, there were no casualties, but the incident delayed the project's completion.

4. Brazilian Stadium Collapse (2013): In Brazil, during the construction of the Arena Corinthians stadium, which was being built for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, a crane collapsed during a groundbreaking ceremony, causing significant damage to the stadium's roof. The incident resulted in the deaths of two workers and caused delays in the construction schedule.

5. The Vatican Audience Hall Collapse (1971): During the groundbreaking ceremony for the Vatican Audience Hall, a large, elliptical-shaped building in Vatican City, part of the roof collapsed, killing four workers and injuring several others.
