Yeah, some bones are with some old pieces of clothing.

The only thing I care about is that they recover what is left of the bodies.

or, did it just fall down on it's own?

If the dead guys were black do you think more of an effort would have been made to retrieve them?

would they even be considered "bodies" at this point. More like remains

Don’t see much action. They must still be at lunch.

NEW ORLEANS — A little over nine months after the Hard Rock hotel construction site partially collapsed in the New Orleans French Quarter a move to remove the bodies of two of the men who perished in the collapse has finally gained steam.
New Orleans Fire Chief Tim McConnell said that the work to retrieve the remains of construction workers Quinnyon Wimberly and Jose Ponce Arreola has started, with hopes that the first victim's remains could be out by week's end.
...
After the bodies are removed, cranes will be used to pick apart the top eight floors of the building.
The demolition is expected to cost $8.4 million. 1031 Canal Development, the Hard Rock’s owner, is paying for the demolition work. The ultimate goal is to have the site entirely clear by October, a year after the deadly collapse.

Aka: we finally figured out a way to swindle millions of dollars into our own pockets, so it's time to bring it down.

Expect a weather delay. Something will stop it.

I think the one that caused a stir with the tarp falling off is a black man

Well, they did wait until hurricane season to start.

Well that kind of ruins the point I was trying to make about New Orleans leadership.
