I understand that there’s a hurricane coming. But why the rush to demolish the remaining structure?

Maybe flying debris would be a serious threat. But maybe the powers that be want to destroy evidence.

FFS. Get a life.

Maybe flying debris would be a serious threat.

Flying debris are absolutely a serious threat in a hurricane, especially from collapsed structures. And the remaining tower may very well topple in wind, damaging structures in other blocks. It is already an imminent danger to the responders combing through the wreckage below.

No need for any nefarious conspiracy now. Just a strong inclination to get out of the way of falling objects.

“Maybe flying debris would be a serious threat. “

Nah. You think? :-)
