Yep. Circular firing squad to commence in the very near future.



Well if people got hurt/killed, it is warranted

If no major injuries it should be between HR, contractors and city

Damn you can clearly see a worker on scaffolding get wiped out. I just hope he got knocked inside instead of off the building and may just be injured.

Change the title to the “Marred Rock Hotel”.

If it collapses without anything hitting it (and that's how it appears), you'd think they'll have to start over from scratch on the whole thing.

I think they will be having to add some zeroes behind that.

Part of the crane tower hit the Saenger roof. Hope no major damage there.

Looks like a crane collapsed on it. Look going bottom right of the collapsed part. Looks like a mobile crane is laying right on the damaged area



That’s a leg for a climber(scaffold) attached to the outside.

Looks a like a progressive collapse from the top down. It doesn’t look like a crane triggered the collapse.



That's what that video looks like to me. The weight of whatever collapsed at the top kept forcing downward, collapsing more and more of the building, I guess until they hit some stronger supports / wider part of the building, which stopped the collapse.

With that much top-down pressure, I don't see how they can possible salvage any of that. Who would trust it?

"Wicked" is playing right now. Probably got at least a night show tonight and perhaps a matinee today as well.

The structural concrete or the concrete on top of the structural steel? The structural concrete appears to be still standing.
