Why didn't they hire the people who did WTC 7?

They've got four stories of crane boom embedded into the middle of the street.
 Quoting: ScrumpTheTexan


Scratch that... looks like eight or more stories standing.

They should hang stop lights from it and call it a day.

Actually it appears that they were able to avoid serious damage to surrounding properties.

The crane top embedded into the street should be able to be stabilized and disassembled in good order. It didn't take out the theater across the street and it appears the entire parts from that crane fell into the street or onto the Hard Rock bldg itself.

The craneway that is hanging off the building is at least down to a level and now lite enough that one of those HUGE street level cranes can possibly attach to it and lower that entire piece intact to the street.

It looks like almost NO DAMAGE to surrounding buildings.

Not perfect, but overall considering the situation it is OK and now much safer from what I can see.

Looks to me like if they were going to use demolition like this that they would have used quite a few more charges in order to increase the number of and lighten up the falling pieces. Perhaps maybe even used rigging to keep the pieces falling near or on the building so they could be lowered out later.

Not a great example of rigging or demolition in my eyes.

Implosion was botched! One large crane looming precariously over New Orleans' main artery. Another piece flew off like a missle onto North Rampart.

How could the world trade centers come down so neatly when a planned, controlled demolition on such a relatively small scale be so difficult?

Hard Rock issue a statement that they paid the city for the implosion, but they had nothing to do with the plan.

NEW ORLEANS —
Eight days after the Hard Rock Hotel collapse, two cranes have been imploded at the site.

However, both cranes are still partially standing.
