It looks like they're sending a message to the terrorists: Screw you.

The more i thought about it the more I thought it looked like an Easy Out. insted of a drill bit. To use an easy out, drill a hole into the bolt you broke off, and you screw the easy out counteclockwise into the hole, eventually, hopefully the bolt starts comming out. I googled Easy Out, and found this bizzare page on Ebay that wouldn't load for me.

And building all this stuff on land would save how much money and make things how much easier?

This project is on land but digging at hole, especially on waterfront property, they have to keep the water table from flooding the hole while they build the base. It happens far from the waterfront, on occasion, also.
In this case, they should have hired a Dutch builder

When you have desert and water, waterfront becomes more desirable and infinitely more valuable.

They have buildings (and a race for tallest) in the next world too?:p

And just how many stories will it be? I was never goood at converting cubits to feet.

Thanks for the picture of the easy outs I was talking about. Curiosity got the best of me, and I had to Google eye removal tools. Here's a link of another Ebay page. It shows the tool in action.

When it's finished it'll be a pretty big story.

Makes me further question the rebuilding of New Orleans.
