I'm not sure that's a fail, they got all but one on the first shot.

I'm pretty sure you don't want the failure of one section of a bridge/viaduct to cause a chain reaction that takes the rest of it out. Even if it looks really cool.

Naw, it got crushed right away. Half finished weirdo project with no ***le? Right to the shredder.

There was a guy that got a contract from the city to clear out an old guys industrial lot when he died. It was full of vintage semi trucks, White's and Mack's and others with huge gas flatheads. Some of them had been restored at some point with newer Coker tires and all. The guy went through the place with an excavator and made sure everything was scrap before it left. Even stomped in a rust free 70 camaro just because.

Some people in the scrap business just love wrecking stuff and making the quick buck rather than dealing with finding buyers to preserve things.

And it's NYC, who's gonna be in business there, the guy who gives a **** or the guy who's just as scummy as the rest of the system?

There's probably a bunch of rules about contacting the owner, etc, etc, etc. when they tow a car but something that will be "difficult" (i.e. anything other than a registered and insured late model car they can ransom) they probably shred ASAP so they can be like "we don't have your car" when someone comes looking for their 1993 Cavalier or whatever.

Not to mention NY state probably has a bunch of laws about ***le and process and contacting the owner. I'm sure none of that gets followed ever because of how close a relationship impound yards have with the more equal animals.
 
You got a point, there’s not a lot of space for cool **** to sit around in a New York City junkyard .

That's exactly the math they're doing in their head. They don't want it to sit and tie up a parking space they could be using to ransom G-wagons for a year while **** gets dragged through a courtroom. Even if they have to pay up they make more money shredding first and asking questions later.

The place it was normally at was a completely unusable space, it was moved for construction, and it was moved to a usable space without proper credentials so they collected by crushing it.
