Picture of the East Wing demolition of the White House taken on my flight out of DCA.

When Chase demolished 270 Park Avenue, it took them two years and there was an absolute fuckton of asbestos abatement involved, and that building was built in 1960. A building built in 1902 would be approximately 40% asbestos by volume.
This is generally not the way you tear down buildings in the middle of a city that was built in 1902 and probably has quite a bit of asbestos in it
