Arrr, I had wondered why they'd need to knock down one carpark to build another elsewhere. Cheers for that Tetras.
There must be something in that as why else would they propose such a back-to-front project. *I realise that they don't usually require a reason*.
According a good friend of mine who works for the states and has access to Minden - they store a massive stockpile of emergency food and resources under Minden, for the whole island, incase of a disaster. I know this sounds pie in the sky, but apparently it's true. This would make the demolition of Minden far more complicated than it would appear on the surface. This also may have added to the acceleration of the concrete cancer, had it been frozen and unfrozen etc.
