One time in 1932 (as if that matters at all today) and another time in 1984. Just security wise 1984 is vastly different than today. As are all sorts of employment issues and things that are done differently today than in the 1980's. I owned a company in the 80's and the things that you could 'get away with' (for lack of a better way to put it) have no resemblance to a company today. Sure tech has greatly advanced but it's an entirely different 'plan with zero failure' than it was back then (and honestly 1930's does not even count back then people dying in construction was a cost of doing business/construction).
- mturmon 7y agoThe LA Coliseum was built in the 1920s and expanded for the 1932 Olympics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_Memorial_Coliseum#Planning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_Memorial_Coliseum#...), and will no doubt be used for 2028.
