"Residents! Run! Your building is going to be knocked down!"

Even more depressing than the video is the lack of comments here. If someone knocked down a mail box in the West Bank, there would be dozens of outraged bloogers commenting about it.

Perhaps put this in perspective - Yankee Stadium cost $0.8Bs - Deepwater Horizon cost $0.56Bs, and 33 rigs like it are now moving to Brazil, Nigeria, Angola and Ghana. Don't really know what this means, but money is a funny thing.
