Japan is the model for why a nation should avoid multiculturalism and diversity.
And we’re still rebuilding New Orleans after Katrina?
Contrast this with New Orleans, after Katrina....
God Bless the Japanese people!!
Hell, it’s been ten years since 9/11 and still we haven’t rebuilt on Ground Zero.
Maybe after they are finished, they can come over here and put up a new WTC. Should only take them a couple of months at the rate they are going!
I have no problem with us having a multi-racial society, with all kinds of different cultures, as long as we share common values. We've sadly gotten way too far away from that in the last 50 years.
There’s an opening in the world for somebody to become the Andrew Carnegie of carbon fiber. Nobody should be making buildings or bridges out of steel any more.
they are actually at 60 stories on the main tower right now...
Paint me skeptical.
The 'after' picture appears to be taken a few hundred feet further back then the 'before' picture.
RE: Hell, its been ten years since 9/11 and still we havent rebuilt on Ground Zero.
We could have done it already if we had the collective will to do so. It took New York only about 18 months to build the EMPIRE STATE BUILDING in 1930-31 ( the height of the great depression), and was finished about a month ahead of schedule and $5 million under budget.
We showed we could do it then. We have better technology today, but we don’t have the spirit to do it.
When carbon fiber fails (and it does), it fails catastrophically.
American New York City left-wing wimps still have a disgraceful, cowardly hole in the ground nearly ten years after 9/11.
Looks like a different stretch of road. I believe in the second pic the damaged area is on down the road quite a little ways.
Indeed.
The trees are much closer in one pic than the other.
Would need to see it up closer before I would say it is rebuilt.
There is a very BIG difference today — can you say “Political Correctness”?
Wanna bet union work is not mandatory, the government is not running the project for the exclusive benefit of the Teamsters and politicians are not looking for taxpayer handouts to big time contributors?
They got unions in Japan?
