Who the hell designed, built, operated, and maintained it?

[WhoisAlanGreenspan?]

Designed for no larger than four foot waves, it would have required breaker walls completely surrounding it. Whomever approved this on the military engineering side f'd up mightily and I'm sure we'll never hear that person identified.

Whether him, her, it or any other.

“Who the hell designed, built, operated, and maintained it?”

The article stated the pier wasn’t designed to handle 4 foot waves. I’m sure the HMFIC was told it wasn’t suitable but the grunts were told to go ahead with it. Purely symbolic.
