I think the person who hired those substandard "contractors" is going to be in trouble but it being New Orleans I wonder if the inspections and permitting processes were thorough?

Shoddy work from unskilled laborers. Is that a direct result of the supposéd wall?

You continue to proudly display your ignorance as if it were a medal that you were awarded. Carry on.

Can we all say:
Construction failure lawsuit.
How many will go bankrupt?
General contractor
Various Sub-Cs
Architect
Owner
Seriously, the insurance companies will sue to recover.
And the Bank will sue as well.
And that's not counting the injured folks.

I've dealt with this crap.
Long to settle and the lawyers do get paid.

I wouldn't single out New Orleans. This is an unfortunate occurrence that can happen anywhere. Hopefully they can single out the flaw so it doesn't happen again in the future.

saw the video of the hotel collapsing...

didn't know they were adding floors to this old historic Claiborne hotel.

it seems the I-beam structures holding the additional floors were apparently not secured or possibility a bad I-beam cracked under the strain.

the manufacturer of the steel could be liable...

lawsuit city!

part of the structure also landed across the street and hit a building. so that building may have suffered some damage.

Let's hope they figure it out but New Orleans has a long and sorry record of corruption.
