Same, but honestly because I've seen so much engineering analysis of this I don't think he added much. In general he has one of the most down to earth engineering channels on YouTube.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

I don't agree with the opposition. The land should be sold to the highest bidder and hopefully they will include a nice memorial there. But to dedicate the entire site to a memorial will mean that the people who lost their family members and apartments will end up with nearly nothing. Better that they should get compensated properly.

Says in the article they want the government to pay for the land and make it a memorial.

I don't think it's reasonable for the govt to pay $120m just for the land

So they harassed a bunch of residents/owners (some of whom likely lost loved ones), talked to none of them, and then published this smear just for the “investigative journalism” clicks? Shameful!

"so we wanted to write a story, but couldn't find anything, so instead we'll make it a story about the writing process.
And even when we got the 'kingpin' on the phone from jail, we didn't have enough research to ask him any meaningful questions, and all we have from him is some bluster"
"but at least we have a click bait title that also insults the victims while we're at it"
