Note the strainer grates to stop fallen workers from getting ground up in the impellers deep underground. Lots of people got sucked down and ground up in those.
Interesting how tax credits meant to stimulate the restoration of this structure could be diverted and sold as if they were an open market commodity. It appears that somebody's pockets have become well lined in that situation and this structure will now meet its demise.

Photos taken during Mardi Gras this year? It seemed like New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin had felt that the population displaced by the flood was not welcome to come back. The status and use of FEMA funding and reconstruction money remains a contention to this day that I'm aware. It seems that the general conditions existing before the flood, perhaps the lack of flood insurance on private homes, combined with the attitudes of local officials, had all come together to provide a conclusion. Do nothing for years and wait for things to blow over.
Another skull cap cutter used for the lobotomies. High speed saws in that thing zip the tops of the skulls right off. Patients would suck for that old phony "hair dryer" trick every time.
One man spent his entire life at Willard for kicking a garbage can in anger on a city sidewalk. The record was a woman who spent 75 years there. Look for "Ten Days in a Mad-House" by Nellie Bly to read a very incredible story. A young lady of phenomenal courage.
IMO, roles at many institutions were padded however possible to attract increased funding. It seems that skimming and kickbacks were common for the commissioners and directors as coal deliveries were shorted and premium prices were charged for spoiled food delivered by vendors, etc..
Hi Lucie! My first guess would be zombies, absolutely. The bodies of intruders are dragged down that hallway by the zombies and stored for future meals!
