Wow! Can you just imagine what it must feel like to be climbing around there? Hopefully they're not messing up the environment however.
Kay- sure is something different. It's basically gypsum (drywall) that they're walking around and probably some environmentally conscience scientists.
Wow. That's impressive! I'd love to go see that. Funny thing is, I lived just across the border from the Mexican state of Chihuahua for two years and never even heard of the place. Oh well. Maybe in a few years.
Brad- they "discovered" this a few years back already. The neighborhood probably knew of it for generations.
This might sound racist but I think that if they'd known about it before scientists had discovered it they'd have tried to find a way to sell it.
Brad- the staff and management would like to affirm that this is "not" a politically correct blog. I remember in the mexico city earthquake, someone sold his cousin the re-bars to reinforce the concrete, which led to many a building's collapse.
So he sold bad re-bar to his own cousin? Wow. That's low.
Brad- that was purely an expression of speech on the overall practice of not observing building codes. For all I know, the entrepreneurs might have sold off the rebar for scrap iron.
