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.
