Former St. Francis Central Hospital shows its mettle - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
I don't like it, brings back memories of the recent PH in SF and Jack Frost sugar in Philly. None went as planned.
Demolition is on hold at the former Saint Francis Hospital in Pittsburgh.
A support pillar in the center of the old hospital may bring the entire building down once it's removed.
Crews were unable to finish the work last Friday night, because the crane couldn't get enough traction on the wet ground.
The building lacks support, making it too dangerous to plant explosives.
Workers said they'll wait and see if having dry ground makes a difference.
The building is being taken down as part of the construction for the new arena.
