I am glad an unsafe building is coming down. I can't believe people are basically asking for some workers to risk their lives to save a pile of bricks. Engineers spend a lot of time in school studying the stuff they need to know to make these conclusions. Open pits and excavations are very dangerous and if you've never worked in that kind of environment or even any construction environment I can see why a casual observer might not understand how dangerous they can be.
If the foundation was sketchy it was only a matter of time before something happened and personally I'm glad it happened when the building was unoccupied rather than having a washout put a renovated building at risk when people were working or living there.
