The monolith at North East Point has been standing for
several years till the government decided it should be demolished.
The reason given was that the structure had weakened considerably
and posed a danger. However, when the demolition work started, a small excavator
was brought atop the structure with hydraulic hammer installed. The excavator weighing
more than seven tons hammered away at the concrete.
Later a heavier excavator was brought in weighing in excess
of ten tons to work atop the structure. It is inconceivable that a structure
considered a danger to the public could sustain these massive weights and not
crumble.
Could there be another reason why the monolith had to be demolished???
