I was wondering why it was not taken down with an implosion? Not to be flippant, but they certainly have the experience in clearing up rubble!
because ground zero is “sacred ground,” which is something of a sexual fantasy to politicians, which, in NYC, are outnumbered only by unemployed and washed-out actresses.
I don’t think they do implosions in crowded urban areas. Even though it looks like implosions are nice clean ways to take down buildings, they still send out debris for blocks. It can work if there is nothing else around (See the Kingdome, which was surronded by parking lots).
