I don't see how any civil engineer in his right mind would install suspended 3-ton concrete ceiling panels for aesthetic reasons only. A light metal or plastic mesh would have worked just fine, and been a lot less expensive. It seems to me that this was make-work or make-expense. They had to be concrete. The mob is bigtime into concrete, and somebody was getting a kickback from the goombahs.

Yeah, the latest excuse is that the ceiling tiles had to withstand hurricane-force winds. I guess someone could have died if the plastic mesh came loose in a tunnel hurricane. No, wait...

Maybe they will find Jimmy Hoffa if they have to tear down enough of this boondoggle (or it falls down on its own!!)

"Mob" was my very first thought when I found out the substance in question was concrete.
