Quinnyon Wimberly and his fiancee Bianca Boone were on the phone, planning a birthday party for Wimberly's father, when Boone heard a"loud boom."Boone, 42, didn't think much of it initially. Wimberly was, after all, working on the construction site at the Hard Rock Hotel in downtown New Orleans.
Wimberly's family had held out hope that authorities would be able to recover the bodies before demolishing the building."[Mayor LaToya Cantrell] said they would have to demolish the building with him in it," Frank Wimberly, Quinnyon Wimberly's older and only brother, told ABC News on Thursday."I don't think words can describe the way my family and I feel.
The office did not say when the demolition is expected to occur but the mayor has said that a recovery process would still occur after the demolition."I have a commitment from the ownership that they will ... go above and beyond to deliver for our people. That's what I'm expecting and absolutely requiring."Wimberly was a supervisor for the construction project, in addition to working at Regional Mechanical Services, an air conditioning contractor in Louisiana.
"There was another guy who stood up next to me, and he said, 'Man, I was working in that building,'" Wimberly said.
