News reports are saying the broken glass is from flying debris as opposed to barometric pressure, but I'm not so sure. One eye witness said she saw the window glass bowing. She was sure it was going to shatter and she was on the 39th floor of her building. -

JW Marriott At 806 Main St. & Expansion Into Battlestein’s - 812 Main St.
Of course, you are correct about the franchising and the owners not being versed on every local regulation. But that's why they hire general contractors and other people experienced in this sort of thing. They're supposed to make sure everything is correct. I didn't necessarily mean to imply that Marriott Corporate was at fault. -

JW Marriott At 806 Main St. & Expansion Into Battlestein’s - 812 Main St.
One thing to note about hotel companies is that theyre often franchised, and so while some of them are operated by large companies, sometimes theyre not. Sometimes the owner is ignorant of typical processes and/or used to skirting regulatory laws. Generally my experience with Hotel Renovation projects is the ownership/property management is pretty naïve and ignorant of building construction.
