If that monstrosity burns up, it will be a great gift to architecture.

Of course, that's tongue-in-cheek, since you'd hate to see anyone get hurt. Oh, why oh why did they destroy beautiful Penn Station and replace it with that hideous structure?

Well, now that it's been evacuated, maybe no one would get hurt if it burned down. A heap of charred rubble might actually be an aesthetic improvement . . .

You mean the Mckim, Mead and White masterpiece designed to resemble the Roman Baths at Caracella. The senseless destruction of this stately terminus almost single handedly started the preservation movement. Excellent Book Lost New York.
