What is your reaction?

Inexcusable. Even "recycling" doesn't cut it.
-
I'm sure that anybody with enough money and equipment to be into road building has plenty of friends in the government so penalties will be minimal, if any.
What a tragedy.
-
Tragic.
-
Irresponsible.

I would really like to hear some explanation of how it could happen...I mean the series of events that lead up to it. so weird
-
It shocks me but it isn't a surprise.....look at what happened to the limestone at Giza. If they had access to heavy machinery when building Cairo, I'm sure the Pyramids wouldn't be standing today.

I live near "Hadrian's Wall" [a world-heritage et al] - or at least what's left or it !
In very rural/remote areas a lot of it is still left [and well worth a long walk along it], but nearer to population centers there's almost nothing to be seen !It has passed its usefulness hundreds of years ago so it was recycled as already quarried and dressed stone - ideal for building walls for fields or new buildings...
I once did some alterations to a stone farm-house that was near to the wall...
A door's stone-lintel had a faded Latin inscription on it, saying something along the lines that '[this part of the wall was built by the] coh[ort] XX of leg[ion] YY ...'
It was laid 'upside down'
So... it was ever thus... just now we can vandalize faster than ever before

Contractors will try anything to claw back money
-
And this week we have this story, maybe not on the scale as the above story but this was intentional and for profit.
-
hmmm looks like a hill to me.
In the comments one response was: "This is just another case of white man greed"I bet the opposition to the project could be paid enough to change their opinion....no matter what their race was.
