People make Taliban comparisons but that will actually look like it since that would require explosives.

There is a corroded/rusted 60 year old bolt holding him down.

They brought one can of WD40, a small wrench and a small hammer and expected to get it off easily.

They should clear everyone from that area. That crane on 9/11 during the Muslim pilgrimage fell killing scores of people, albeit in worse weather conditions

With this hack job being done, no telling what 1 thing could go wrong causing either the statue to fall or the machinery to topple. The risk is not worth the reward IMO.

How much does that statue weigh, does anyone know off-hand?

So they went up there, presumably having looked at blueprints, and didn't think to bring a wrench for the bolts?


Mitch gave them the prebrief

Don't forget about the dissimilar metals involved. Brass statue and more than likely black iron bolts. I would laugh my arse off if they actually riveted it down... Was not uncommon to do so in the 50s

I am praying for rain.

Not that these clowns won't be back tomorrow. But the more time the better for some kind of hail mary legal save.
