Candlestick Park demolition paused because of water usage screw-up

This story almost strikes me as some kind of nonsense from The Onion. NBC Bay Area reporter Bob Redell is reporting the demolition of Candlestick Park is being delayed due to issues with water being used to hold down dust in the rubble. The San Jose Mercury News reported on the water issue Thursday afternoon in a great read to see just how absurd the situation is at this point.

Lennar Corp. is handling the demolition of the stadium. The original plan was to implode Candlestick, but the neighbors complained because of health concerns with the fallout from the implosion.
