Lord zoth, I knew many people in construction in Orleans Parish and that was always money being put under the table so they would get that permit passed but something like this as you said should go all the way to the top of the New Orleans city council and everyone below involved in construction approval. A lot of these people got their jobs because their Uncle Joe new somebody so they don't know crap about what they're doing for the most part. Things are a lot different than they were 40 years ago when I had part-time jobs while I was in college in construction. From the mayor all the way down you have no integrity whereas 30 to 40 years ago you still had some integrity like under mayor Victor s c h i r o. New Orleans is still one of the most unique cities in the world but corruption and the safe City thing has all taken place while the few locals that are left still live the way we used to

I'm seeing this for the first time because I left New Orleans in 2013 for work. Previously from the '70s through the mid-90s I was a design engineer and I can tell you this should never have been approved Plus why wasn't there a good supervisor or a safety man on the job? I guess contractors and insurance companies will lose a lot of money over this. I was in the field before I got my degree and I would not have been up there working as it's common sense to look at the supports and the metal on the top running different ways? Looks like they were hundreds of negligent mistakes made or were they possibly running out of money? We do live in a totally corrupt Society

They also overloaded the top floor with staging I would by about 3 times in capacity. That is why the front half of the building collapses and not the rear half. Who was the engineers , site safety inspections and also the concrete company and their site engineers. Even the crane must realize they are overloading that floor with staging. There wasn't near enough shores under it also. Very lucky only 3 people lost there life's here it could have been 50-100 or more for a building that size

Also, the guy that's standing in front of that black framing in front of the yellow crane looks like he was waiting for that guy to get out but he runs away at the last second. Looks like a movie. The floor is collapsing right behind his feet as he runs..Crazy....
