The last thing the city needed was a good downwind powdering of carcinogenic dust. As for the giant ball? Good question. I'd love to know. I suspect the asbestos is the reason for the shroud.

Or soemthing to that effect? She also recalled that much of the delay can be attributed to the major asbestos that was present in the skelteton-ization of the building. Any thoughts on either of those claims?

I used to work across the street at 6255 Sunset (the Sunset Media Building), aka the House of Blues Corporate HQ building and had a great view of everything that was happening to the Earthquake building. I also remember posting photos of it on fire here as well (when it had the Mr and Mrs Smith posters plasters of it). BTW, I too have an obsession with this building.

I was out of town when that happened, or I would have grabbed a pic of that as well. It was pretty dramatic, from eyewitness accounts.
