Hazardous chemicals?
(Tongue-in-cheek, here; ... only fair to apply the "TMT Standard" to all new commercial construction. Maybe the protectors can start holding a vigil?)

The paint on the buildings was definitely chock full o' lead, at least the layers from 1978 and before. Where did that lead go when the buildings burned? Into the air, and the groundwater? How many TMT protesters and supporters ever ate at the restaurant and gladly paid for their non Native Hawaiian meal plus tip, then barely kicked a pebble in the parking lot afterward? If they had protested instead of dined there, they could have insisted the lead paint, lead soldered pipes, and possibly asbestos containing ceiling tiles and wall paneling was removed before the contaminants were released by fire into our air and water.
