Stallone Testing's innovative pre-approval process for concrete certification not exactly legal

Whoa, if the new WTC ever falls down like the old one, there will be at least one company practicing up on "no comment." Stallone Testing Laboratories (allegedly, of course) falsely certified that concrete used in 90 construction projects was up to snuff. Projects certified by the newly indicted company (joining indicted competitor Testwell Laboratories) include "the Port Authority Bus Terminal, the World Trade Center transit hub and the Second Avenue subway, plus nursing homes, schools, highways and bridges." Nothing but the best for us, the public. Maybe the horizontal skyscraper trend is set to break into NYC! [NYTimes]
