Death toll officially raised to 3. Rescue operation changed to recovery operation.

You are correct. IF they used the deck you linked to. The drawings call out a deck that is rated to span 25’.
Decking spec used
page 20 correct. I don't see how it meets spec.

If true this has to be the most stupid design ever.
Hold the building up with shores until you infill the metal stud walls that are load bearing?
And that just brought the drywall contractor into a liability position. Jesus this just gets more bizarre by the minute.

The dude's kid who said the building was bulging? Don't think he made that one up, champ.
Oh no, the design of the building definitely made it look like it was bulging already. I believe the kid would have said that.
I am more poking at the kid said the floors were sagging or "bulging down" now when the other day the building was bulging out. Just entertaining.

As for wicked, it’s shut down too. Can’t get all its equipment out the saenger Unless it can get an identical set to replace its out of business too
Oh shite. Didn't think about that.
They were supposed to be here until Oct 20
Then:
Oct 23 - Nov 17 - Atlanta
Nov 20 - Dec 1 - Jacksonville
Dec 4 - Dec 29 - St. Louis
Jan 1 - Jan 19 - Little Rock
Jan 22 - Feb 9 - Columbia, SC
Feb 12 - March 8 - Baltimore
I doubt they can pack up, pack out, ship in their 18 wheelers, unpack, set up, test, and go live in that short of a period of time.
So, I'm guessing they must have 2 sets.
So, Atlanta will be fine. However, if they can't get the set out of New Orleans in the next couple of weeks, Jacksonville may have issues.

With regard to a performance bond being in place on this project, i would say chances are there was NOT one.
The GC, Citadel, was also a part owner. Thus, it would seems logical that the majority owner, Kailas, would not require a performance bond from one of its other co-owners as the GC has a vested interest in completing the project.
Also, as it wasn’t a public job there would be no performance bond required by any municipality.

You'd be surprised what those crews can do. They are paid to do exactly what you are saying you doubt. The sets are meant to be able to travel. Now packing up the Broadway set would take a much bigger effort.
ETA: Meant to add that they most probably have back up sets and could use one for the future if NOLA continues to be out of service

How in the world would the drywall contractor be implicated in this? They weren’t even close to having drywall shipped to the site for the hotel levels.

Bands take down more intricate sets and have them back up the next day. You can do a lot with a good road crew.

I guess it depends on who was supposed to be installing those metal stud walls and when if they really were trying some novel design to use them as load bearing walls.
It seems a bit strange, to be honest. You put up the load bearing members after you put the load in place?

I think pretty much this whole thread is just people throwing stupid crap out there to see what may eventually stick so they can come back later and look like an expert.

The sheet rock tape was factored into the strength/stability of the build.

The deck was designed to span 25’+ feet when cured. However they had to shore the span at a maximum 7’-3” spacing. I think the load baring wall think is a case of stories getting crossed as they go from one ear to the other.

Don't you think they will eventually tear down somehow what is still standing and start over??

That's a statement that contradicts itself.
Please do keep explaining the greatness of the Hard Rock Hotel's innovative tin pan structural design to the rest of us, though (since your grasp of the obvious is apparently pretty tenuous).

The drywall contractor is also the metal stud contractor and if they asked him to provide load bearing walls he had to submit shop drawings. So while he’s close to the bottom of the totem pole if that is in fact true he just got brought into it and instead of just sitting and hoping to get a little of the money owed he’ll now have to hire an attorney to represent him.

It’s not true
