Metamorphosis

Biloxi had previously only allowed gambling by way of casinos built on the water. This was often (usually?) accomplished by constructing buildings on top of barges. Katrina deposited some of these gigantic structures across I-90, dumping them on the other side onto other structures, including hotels. Here, one such barge casino is being deconstructed and compacted down into about three-foot cubes.

I wonder what the next life of the steel will be?


Check out the scale of this casino-on-a-barge by comparing it to the steam shovel. This is about half of the length of the structure pictured here.
