The Mayor, City of New Orleans and everyone else involved in these process should be shamed publicly for allowing the family members of the ones recovered to go through that shite for that long.
Hope everyone of those families sue the frick out of EVERYONE involved.

63-years old... damn.
Probably was 62 when he died
Was LaToya crying for the cameras like she did for the second body recovery?
Didn’t seem to be as much coverage for this recovery.
Saw a news story for about 30 seconds on the local station I was watching

Id imagine that engineer isn't doing too much engineering these days.
Considering he has issues on other buildings I think he's spending most of his time in a lawyer's office or courtroom.

Complete stain on the city...took that long?? Totally embarrassing and unacceptable. But then, that's what happens when you vote for incompetent politicians!!
Are you listening NOLA??

Serious question, why did they decide to retrieve the bodies now after waiting so long?
There was never a question about whether to remove them or not. It just took them 10 months to do it.

Absolutely ridiculous it took this long.
Should have just told protesters it was a confederate statue to get it down faster

Everyone keeps saying that. No one has come forward with any names or proof.
I think 2 things could / did happen.
1) There are some illegals / drifters that no one knows about, that are still trapped.
2) Some people escaped the collapse, and then used the opportunity to dissapear.

I'm no fan of Latoya.
But, ultimately, the responsibility goes on the general contractor, the subs, the engineers, etc.
It was their plans/construction that failed. It was their employees/subs that were trapped. They have ultimate responsibility for this.
Could Latoya / the city have done more to push them? Sure... but why would they need to be pushed in the first place? It's their mess... they broke the eggs... they should have done the right thing and cleaned it up quickly.
Look, a friend of mine owns one of the sub companies on the job. They had a couple of people hurt in the collapse, no one too badly, no one died from their company. I can promise you, if it was one of her guys in there, she would have been screaming on a daily basis to get her guy out, and would have done anything and said anything to push the GC and whomever else needed to be pushed.
As far as the inspections, yes they were a joke, and that's a problem, but an inspection finds problems. An inspection doesn't cause problems. The problems were caused, again, by crappy engineering / crappy construction.
Don't allow your hatred of the mayor to deflect the vast majority of blame away from who it correctly belongs.

so, who would have gotten all of the glory if the place had not collapsed, opened and was extremely successful?

Well it sure AF would not have been Latoya.
We don't celebrate successes as much as we should, but if we did, it would be the engineers and construction companies.

How long did post 9/11 cleanup take? Seems like it went a helluva lot faster than this shite show.
The Nola situation has obviously been handled very poorly but it's a huge difference. In NYC you had basically unlimited resources. They shut down the whole area and spent over $5 billion just on debris removal. And everything was a pile of rubble. In nola, you have a structure that is still upright (mostly) 12+ stories and very little room around it to work. I also imagine much of the delay has been in who is responsible for footing the bill.

You know all the lawyers down there are licking their chops right now waiting on this lawsuit

A pic of her cutting the ribbon? Maybe. Politicians always like to take credit - themselves - for shite they didn't do.
That doesn't mean people would assign praise/credit to her.

Jose Ponce Arreola, a 63-year-old construction worker
Was he 63 when he died? Or was he 62, and 63 now that they finally got around to removing his body?

Like all safety incidents, there are several issues that have to line up for an incident to occur. The fact that the inspectors should be redundant does not change the fact that they were negligent/absent... they are culpable too.
Probably this is tip of the iceberg as far as inspectors fricking off... but if all goes as planned, there’s no major incident to draw scrutiny.

Destoya Cantrell couldn't manage herself out of paper sack even with an army of white SJW staffers pointing her in the right direction
