well, i think they're very careful to make sure no humans are injured
during this event. and while i have never been a part of it, my
understanding is that the pianos are always old and broken down, maybe
not working correctly in many ways. so if you imagine a pristine
steinway going over the top, this is incorrect. imagine instead the
beat up upright you saw at in the lounge at a dorm in which many of
the keys do not work, the tuning is abominable, beer is spilled all
over it, ...

and they clean up. and they don't steal the pianos- i think they are donated.

there's plenty of waste in our world. some undergrads destoying what
is probably a hopelessly broken instrument seems relatively benign to
me. yes, it's wasteful and kinda stupid; but these are undergrads.

but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
