Might as well. Before COVID, the collapse site was a fresh tourist attraction. But now...

Jokes aside, it’s disgraceful that the bodies weren’t removed within a week of the incident.

Latoya and the CEOs of Hard Rock and the construction company should all be terminated and charged with desecration of corpses IMO

What are the chances she made this demo a DBE project?

Hard Rock Casino does not own the building, nor were they building it. They were to be the primary tenant.

They were not even a tenant. They were going to license their name and manage the hotel. And despite having ZERO liability or responsibility they have put up nearly ten million for crabe demolition and grants to area businesses while those responsible onlt paid their lawyers and Latoya.

Have any payments been made by the developers to the demolition company? It would not be the first time they disappeared when a payment was due.


The developer Mohan Kailas and partner Todd Trosclair will own an entire city block of demo'd historic buildings on the corner of Canal and Rampart when this is over. It will likely be the most valuable property in the city. All this for a $7,500 post-collapse donation to Toya's campaign. Crazy. Sad.

Which means she'll get some fly by night crew not experienced enough to do a good job and will more than likely screw something up and end up demolishing something that wasn't supposed to be demolished.

From friends at NOFD that have been in meetings with her, she told the fiancé that they could cut the legs off so she could have something to bury.

Mr demolition and extraction expert, please explain how you would have safely done this?

I'm not in anyway taking up for any of the disgraceful entities involved in this whole cluster fck either. Safety removing the bodies was not really an option.

In a normal US city, the whole planning and demolition would have been completed within three months of the incident.

Unbelievable they had a 2 month period with the city shut down to work on this and could not get it done.

Are they buying the property from the previous owners? How exactly does that work?

They already own all the buildings they are demolishing.
