Each area being excavated is cooled down.

The piece on the left was probably blown about 500 meters, one of the last standing parts of the structure. It reminded me of the ruins in the Roman Forum.

The bridge on the left formerly connected buildings. The ruin on the right might have been the Marriott Hotel.

Taken far away with a very long zoom, since you couldn't get past an ID point.
