So what happened? Maybe the process went something like this…

  1. Demolish iconic sports and entertainment venue.
  2. Go with the cheapest estimate for a replacement.
  3. Watch the budget double waaaay before completion.
  4. Cringe as parts of the structure collapse.
  5. Issue a statement to the effect that all deadlines will be reached.
  6. Backtrack on earlier statements; issue replacement announcing a 12-month delay.
  7. Sack the workers

And they reckon the 2012 olympics will be a hit? Call me a cynic by all means…
