Engineers have determined that implosion is the safest way to dispose of the dangling carcass of the high-end hotel that pancaked on the morning of Oct. 12 


quote:

Fire Superintendent Tim McConnell told media the building should be imploded in nine weeks, with recovery of the bodies of two still-missing workers and further investigation to follow. A three-month cleanup will also take place after the planned implosion.


quote:

The only factor that could move the demolition past the nine weeks is the College Football Playoffs and New Year's Eve events, McConnell said.
"We will not let it interfere with CFP," McConnell said.



What's the over/under? Looks like mid-April 2020 is the date thrown down.

So now those waiting for the bodies of their loved ones have to wait because a football game months away can not be interfered with?

Holy shite there are some fricked up priorities here and I would be screaming in every mic available were I them.

Impossible

TD resident industrial contractor Martini argued in the original thread:

They will cut that back to undamaged structural steel and rebuild.


No way he’s wrong

Push back too far and they’ll run into Mardi Gras.

I agree with Mid April.

Have they even recovered the remaining bodies from the accident yet?

What could go wrong?

I hope we get non-stop Latoya in front of the cameras before and after.

I can't believe they have not at least gotten rid of the crane hanging over the building. At the time they said it would be cut and another crane would take it down in pieces. How long does this need to just sit there?

I have a bad feeling about this. The explosives from the crane demo blew out windows in the Roosevelt. You gonna need a lot more firepower for this situation.

Also, if you have a big pile of rubble behind a fence... is that secure enough to allow Endymion to pass down Canal? We all know who calls the shots in the city.
