The indecisive & half arse leadership extends past the New MSY. It has been weeks since the Hard Rock Hotel collapse. Tropical events are now giving way to an Artic Blast and the pancaked floors are untouched, a crane still hangs over Canal Street and the remains of 2 construction workers are unreachable. Businesses are closed Canal St is closed. The City has control of the site but yet nothing is happening since the so-called successful demolition blast that sent a crane impaled into Rampart Street & the other crane teetering over Canal Street. Where is the sense of urgency to demolish this unsafe structure? With all due respect to the Dead. Don't tell me it is out of respect for the remains of the 2 dead construction workers. The so called leaders in this city knew within 48 hours there was no way to safely recover those bodies without risk of further loss of life & property. This building should have been demolished weeks ago. I can promise you. It is now the most photographed structure in New Orleans eclipsing Jackson square and the St. Louis Cathedral. I see tourist every Thursday when I park a couple of blocks away for my weekly remote at Oceana Grill snapping pictures in disbelief that it is still standing. We are on the cusp of the city's busiest tourist season. Thanksgiving, New Orleans Bowl, Christmas New Year's Eve, College Football Championship, Saints playoffs and Mardi Gras. The Mayor claims building will be demolished before the end of the year. How about right now before Thanksgiving before the onslaught of tourist to our City. How about right now before another tragedy happens and the building shifts and more damage is possible to historic buildings in the area. How about quit embarrassing us with your indecisiveness and feet dragging and get rid of this dangerous situation. When it comes to blight in this town. We move at a snail's pace to eradicated it. It is bad enough we've had to stare at the shell of the burned-out building on Canal Street for the last few years. Let's not make the same mistake with this dangerous building the Hard Rock Hotel must come down now!

I bet that if they did rush to demolish the remaining building this guy would be the first to crush the leadership when something went wrong with that. Got to love armchair critics that can always be right.

I, for one, think a rush to implode the building is the best situation for me as a spectator. Lots of potential entertainment.
As for the 48 hours thing, rescue vs recovery. You will take risk for rescue that you won't for recovery.
Finally, the dude frequents Oceana Grill. I don't trust his opinion on anything.
