Listen, I'm as upset to see the Sly Fox go as anybody (well, almost anybody...) but when you have an unstable building next to a major thoroughfare, you don't leave it toddering, waiting to fall on a passing motorist or pedestrian... especially when there are so many who want to gather nearby to see it one last time and share memories. It's an accident waiting to happen. So hurray for the city of P-burg moving so fast to bring down a dangerously unstable shell of a building... and now, after due consideration, taking steps to contain/remove any asbestos that may still be present. This is how it is done, now how you WISH it could be.

Actually you would think the asbestos would have been abated before the build was knocked down in a huge cloud of dust, but I guess the city was in a hurry to make sure that it couldn't be reopened.
