WWL 870 at noon today has 1031 Canal Development explaining Hard Rock collapse

Kailas and friends are a stain on new orleans

Yeah, two principals in the developer entity, including the GC, are on the construction team. The worker whose body was exposed worked for Trosclair’s mechanical company. It’s hard to separate the developer and contractors except on a purely technical basis. The developer is getting more bad advice.

Am I understanding that correctly? That a lawyer is going to speak on the radio explaining the collapse of the building?

Yeh, you ain't getting shite on the explanation...Just generic vague statements so no liability is assumed or assessed.

SPOILERS:



There ain't Ghana be no good explanations about the Hard Rock Hotel. You will be disappointed if you expect anything different.

Mohan might want to remove this paragraph from his very own website before the radio interview...

quote:

---

Mohan Kailas directly oversees the development of all new projects and related business of Kailas Companies, focusing on controlling expenses and increasing profitability – maximizing return on investment

but, as the owners they did hire the engineers,construction company .. etc , right?

Easy translation

I know the entire history of our business dealings in New Orleans have been shady and downright criminal.

But THIS TIME we swear it wasn't our fault at all.

Try to play the victim as well

Cliffs:

Paramilitary were hired to retrieve bodies, engineers did not allow them in.

No way to access body them without risking further collapse and risk.

Developer wasn't the contractor

Contractor is a part owner of 1031, but he wasn't at fault as part owner.

Called it a construction defect case

Racially motivated!!! He got that one in.

OSHA investigation report might be due in April

Bringing up union complaints of unlicensed electrical contractors.

1031 do not have an engineer on staff.
1031 relied on general contractor for engineering review

Newell saying developer always hires 3rd party engineering to review contractor engineering.

PR guy taking issue with everyone holding Kailas personally responsible for the deaths.

Apparantly, the fire chief is giving daily updates. City Council says they are getting no updates.

PR guy won't comment on how the city is handling. Appears to lay the tarp issue all on them.

Developer staying quiet as not to have misinformation. Gather all information before sharing.

City has control via emergency declaration.

1031 does not have authority to access site due to emergency declaration and injunction for evidence preservation.

No extraction due to safety.

Declaration could be lifted after implosion and site deemed safe.

Builders risk in place. No number given. Insurance on site and approved implosion.

Builder group has coverage.

Who makes up shortage of LLC coverage?
Speaking for 1031 he believes they have enough coverage. Resolve cases as quickly as possible. Seems to be saying that he expects the contractors and architects to cover their part as well.

Bringing up whistleblower illegal immigrant.

Date chosen was chosen for post mardi gras and logistics. Implode in march, remove debris by may. Confident it will happen then with the information they have now.

Next step is permitting implosion.
City and 1031 working on plan going forward.

1025 and 1027 will be conventionally demolished.

PR guy wants to make sure everyone knows Kailas is the good guy. Apparently Kailas is paying for the police and fire support. Paying for the logistics. Quit being racist to him. This building was intended to save that corner. Hired reputable contractors. This is going to take more time.

What to expect from 1031 moving forward?
Hopefully regular information flow forward. Resolve legal cases quickly.

Just wanna point out that Newell Normand is a douchebag idiot.
