    If they aren’t going to recycle which rarely happens even today that is probably just as good of a solution as landfilling them, those little bottles are littered all over the earth. When they demolish a building they would trash all that debris anyway, but yeah a hilarious find, hundreds of them lol.

      Probably more like thousands. The building was high enough to fit a passenger plane. So the space in one cinder block hole would 6 in x 6 in by 60 ft high. That is a lot of mini bottles.

        But how would you get the bottles into the top without a cherry picker? Imagine drinking a bunch of those small bottles, then hiding the evidence by carefully maneuvering a lift?? This whole story smells fishy…

          You underestimate how much people drank on the job back in the day and what their resulting tolerance was.

          I was a kid during the tail end of that being acceptable, and I just thought all adults drank all day every day.

          Remember that cargo was loaded onto planes with platform lifts and maintenance work would use scissor lifts. I don’t doubt that if wouldn’t be wise to empty the bottles into the wall while drunk but I’m sure they were sober eventually.

            But do those lifts actually go that high? That’s just such a crazy thought haha
