I was walking into the Saenger one day, and noticed metal detectors, so I turned around and hid my dugout under some of the Hard Rock rubble. And it was still there after the show!!! Lucky.
What is most infuriating about this whole thing is the fact that no one will be held accountable for this. There is no justice in New Orleans. This city is a joke.
I like how late in the day you post this, almost like you didnt want people to find it. Sue the city, sue the company, and sue the mayor for allowing all the fraudulent permits to be passed around like candy for years.
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
You can add to the problem the fact that the city had and still does mostly transients living and working in New Orleans so they are much different from when the locals were involved as far as corruption there was always corruption but not like this
Yea, but see the guy way behind at 2:27. Cleared the collapse the stopped to look back at it before taking off again? Never stop running. You don’t know how close you are to dying.
Where on earth do you see a person being killed? They probably didn’t blur it because you would really have to look and know exactly what you’re looking for.
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
But Nobody Noticed THE GUY That's LITERALLY STANDING Right Beside THE Heavy Material that collapsed. Don't Believe me Watch it at 2:27 , You can CLEARLY SEE A GUY STANDING THEIR AND THEN GO DOWN WITH THE BUILDING Rip to everyone lost.. praying.
The weight of the concrete slab poured on that floor plus the weight of equipment and materials outweighed the capacity max that the steel support beams, columns, and joists could hold.
I promise you there was plenty of signs I know nothing about this story but I guarantee you there was probably a lot of water leaking places probably a lot of concrete cracken and probably a lot of places to haveir word new chunks like small chunks of concrete come up with the doors don't close right things like that it didn't just happen. I wouldn't be surprised they were sagging on some floors It didn't just happen there's probably a lot of random noises but they may have been difficult to determine during broad daylight but I'm sure one of them is you know at night you know depends on what kind of loud music I don't know what that place was like
An engineer designs it, a construction firm executes the design. If one of them did wrong they should be punished as they would in europe. Whats is going on in the states, people get jailed for nothing a long time but not for this? 3 lives!
My father's body not sit up there for one year. You could get out of my way or you gonna arrest me for it. when I get out im comin back & I'm gonna get him down. and I'm gonna get it him arresting anything when I get out I'm gonna come back but I'm gonna get it there
I am a STRUCTURAL IRONWORKER by trade out of Baton Rouge Local 623. My father's body would not stay up there for a year I don't care what they say I would go and get it at night I am not leaving him. Hes my dad. Its MY DUTY. AFTER EVERYTHING HES DONE FOR ME. IF I DIDNT GRT HIM DOWN & PEOPLE HAD PHOTOS. .OMG. WE R NOT GOIN THERE. NO AMOUNT OF MONEY WILL MAKE ME NOT WANT TO STOMP THEIR ASS
I don't care if they closed & had tight SECURITY there. I'm not gonna let my fathers body lay there. U can help me or get out my way. My father wouldnt lay there for months. Naw. F*** that. Btw my father doesnt EVEN like me.
When a building COLLAPSES like that is it supposed to do so at FREE FALL SPEED and directly in its own FOOTPRINT ... you know, just like that day when BOTH World Trade Towers did as well as BUILDING 7 🤔

The dead bodies wasn't moved a year ?what?
Yes they covered one with orange tarp because people could see a body from the street
Wow. Yeah I heard that too.
Back it up one more time and again and again
Someone sure was proud of that little clip with the finger on the dial. lol
Could you back that up one more time and tell us again?
Why was this video hidden for so long?
Who gave them the order to stack all that equipment on a freshly poured floor?? That's insane. Should not load a floor for at least two weeks minimum.
Non union workers
I was walking into the Saenger one day, and noticed metal detectors, so I turned around and hid my dugout under some of the Hard Rock rubble. And it was still there after the show!!! Lucky.
I hid my sack and bottle of whiskey in the same spot!
They need to put everyone involved with that building in jail and take everything they got for family members that were do too there greed for MONEY
The city inspectors missed this as well.

Most incompetent major city in America
Can you imagine if this would have been finished and full of Mardi Gras tourists?

Didn’t even have the decency to blur out the person being killed.
Probably because he was too far away to identify.
Where on earth do you see a person being killed? They probably didn’t blur it because you would really have to look and know exactly what you’re looking for.
@piratesswoop 0:45 all other outlets blurred it.
@@JsRetroVideoGames 0:45 maybe so. But since he was one of three who died, family members may not have wanted to see. Other news outlets blurred it.
A year ???!!! Also, you can see workers running underneath the top floor to the right side as well , their dark figures 😮😮😮😮

usually it should be 3 strong floors full of support scaffoldings...plus strength of concrete must be 99% after 7 days.

What are all those items on top of the roof? Is that what was too heavy?
The weight of the concrete slab poured on that floor plus the weight of equipment and materials outweighed the capacity max that the steel support beams, columns, and joists could hold.
@@theonlypredator8778 not to mention the supports weren't sufficient even if the steel wasn't defective
Terrible incident. RIP workers. Hard lessons learned.
Not sure who edited this and decided to rewind it and tells us you were rewinding it so many time
One year to remove a body is not acceptable
I promise you there was plenty of signs I know nothing about this story but I guarantee you there was probably a lot of water leaking places probably a lot of concrete cracken and probably a lot of places to haveir word new chunks like small chunks of concrete come up with the doors don't close right things like that it didn't just happen.

Was it a pier and beam? Or, was there a pool?
it was a pier and beam. The pool was not going to be on the top floor. Go to 3:48 and pause it you see a long white object it was the pool.
what the hell the engineers were thinking that heavy concrete on those tiny sticks what the F people have no common sense anymore
Stop giving bonuses and incentives for early completion of buildings and other projects...
Dam a year !!!
It took a YEAR to remove bodies???!!
An engineer designs it, a construction firm executes the design. If one of them did wrong they should be punished as they would in europe. Whats is going on in the states, people get jailed for nothing a long time but not for this? 3 lives!
