historic 75 year old boeing building 2 to be razed, seattle

[tom d. friedman]

boy what a shame they are going to demolish building 2 at boeing soon. the history gone forever. they cranked out alot b-17s & b-29s their, but i guess it's just not feasible to save & restore. the land will be re-converted into a wetlands area which it was originally.

Tom,
Already an active thread on this titled B-17 B-29 building to be torn down.................it's on page 2

...and they never built B-29's @ plant 2 see the other thread......................

....and, if you want to see a picture of the Renton B-29 line, go to the Modellers Forum under 'B-29 assembly line diorama'and to page 2 of that thread

Unfortunately the B-17, B-29 and Connie are being placed on display outside.

So now that makes sense. To waste money and land to create something that may or may not have existed, for what?
I'm sure homeless people or even a few airplane buffs would love to have that land and building, since its all going to be just a huge waste anyway. Personally I'm sick of loosing money or what ever over someones stupid agenda.
