A tarp has fallen from the Hard Rock Hotel collapse site, exposing the remains of one of the workers killed in the collapse.
The City of New Orleans says they may not be able to cover the body again any time soon.
"A tarp put in place to conceal the remains of one of the victims of the Hard Rock collapse has been shifted by the wind," a statement from City Spokesperson LaTonya Norton said. "The condition of the building and the altitude above street level complicate efforts to replace the tarp, as they have prevented recovery thus far."



quote:

Photos of two legs sticking out from the rubble started to circulate on social media Tuesday afternoon. Below them, the red tarp that has covered the remains for months dangles in the wind.

All of the construction technology that we have, and you can’t get a dead person’s remains out of a building when they’re in plain sight?

Anyone else have a sneaking suspicion that it will take longer to clean up this crash site than it took New York to clean up after 9/11 (9 months)?

Probably a structural engineer desperately taking measurements and running calculations. He was no doubt embroiled in a frank reexamination of the design assumptions he and his colleagues had made, in response to the candid feedback of his tradesman brothers-in-arms.

How is it possible they can put a tarp up, but not get a body out? That's terrible.
