What don't you buy? That post tension structures are dangerous to demo conventionally because the cables can snap back injuring operators. Post tension structures keeps the implosion industry afloat
That towers haven't been imploded right beside major rail lines or in the middle of a downtown core?
Joe louis arena is being demo'd for $15 million. Yankees stadium was demo'd for $25 million. There were many questions over the $60 million price tag for the demolition of the Astrodome which, because of it, is now being repurposed.
$700 million is just ridiculous. Demolition is a fraction of the cost of construction. The materials aren't purchased. They get sold.
Abortion is actually not complicated once you take religion fundamentalism out of the equation. Same with genetic screening. Life is being destroyed at alarming levels and, yet our focus is on the life of the fetus over the life of the mother which provides it life. There's also the pragmatic side in that does the world really need another unwanted child that may or may not have a debilitating genetic disorder that could have been screen out?
