Damn, for it all to just come crashing down into a rubble heap is disheartening for the owners of the cranes. Quoting: Loup Garou Will the insurance company pay for their destruction? No, they won't pay for their destruction but yes they will pay for their loss (as a buisness write-off), as long as it can be proven their cranes weren't a contributing factor in the collapse of the hotel. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 16762662 United States 10/20/2019 11:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The local newspaper has the audacity to put up pay walls to read stories or view details. I bitched to the governor and some other local media about it. There ought to be a law. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77086501 This is what the internet has become, a pay to play convenience. I keep saying "one more month" before I ditch At&Shits but here I am, mostly to access GLP dailiyM and other rags. Billions of websites and I can't find alternative places to be. We should all be limiting our online time to 3 hours and doing it at the library, where indeed what is free information is still free. The concept of selling for money what is available for free is fueled solely by ignorance and slavery. We are paying ridiculous money so big wig dinos can live in GNORMOUS Castles while they prepare us to eat insects. If we weren't all so either busy, depessed, fat or lazy this wouldn't be reality. Nor would the grids, nor anything would be done as it is. Sad world as it is, it could change, but that's not likley. You just do what you can to bring and create beauty and not ugliness. |

And yeah a huge step towards that is boycotting everything that's being marketed to us. Almost everything being pushed on us is some kind of weapon to destroy people and the fabric of society. They're teaching us to hate our own history, heritage and identity. They're fucking with our sense of self so that we have no sense of self preservation or drive to survive. What's that called, survival instinct. They're trying to remove that and they're doing a damn good job. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 74333993 United States 10/20/2019 12:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.nola.com (secure)] Quoting: Gemini Rising From the article: Two giant, badly damaged construction cranes towering over a partially collapsed hotel project are to be demolished Saturday with a series of controlled explosions in hopes of dropping them straight down without damaging nearby businesses and historic buildings around the site at the edge of the French Quarter. New Orleans Fire Department Superintendent Tim McConnell described a plan involving workers suspended from another crane using blow torches and attaching explosives at key points. One of the crane towers is about 270 feet high, the other is taller. Both have massive cross arms adding more tonnage. Neither is stable. McConnell said an already wide evacuation area around the site would be expanded ahead of the explosion. Gas to a major utility line that runs along North Rampart Street was being shut down and steps were being taken to protect that line and underground electrical lines that could be affected by falling debris. McConnell said the line would be severely damaged were a crane to land on it. If the operation is successful, McConnell said, the towers will drop vertically and simultaneously. "Think of it like it's melting," he told reporters. You mean like they did911? |

Yeah, but this angle shows my beloved Saenger Theater, right across the street from the hotel. Many of us are concerned about damage; the theater has recently been remodeled and it gorgeous.

Preservation via destruction. It is scary, though, to think that you can't find anything out about what is happening around you if you don't have internet, and even THEN if you do they want you to pay. I went through this in the Bay Area when I was in Santa Rosa for the fires. the chronicle and the la times do that too- you get like three free articles and then nothing. |
