NEW YORK (AP) -- A construction worker was slightly injured Sunday during demolition of a departures runway at the now-vacant Terminal 3 at Kennedy International Airport.

Steve Coleman, spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the airport, said the worker was struck in the leg by falling debris at about 10 a.m. Sunday. Coleman said the worker did not appear to be seriously injured but was walking with a slight limp afterward.

"Apparently, a piece of the concrete or roadway fell where they didn't think it was going to fall," Coleman said.

The terminal, also known as the Worldport, is memorable for its shape, which resembles a flying saucer. Constructed more than a half century ago, the terminal once housed Pan American World Airways. Delta Air Lines began using it in 1991, when Pan American ceased operations, but left the terminal last month. Plans call for it to someday be used for parking airplanes.

Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines Inc. did not immediately comment.

IT'S hard for an oil tanker to change direction while steaming across the ocean. They do not have a taxi's tight turning circle but respond slowly to even a modest change in their journey.

This analogy is frequently used when describing an organisation that seems to find it hard to change its character or plans. I wonder whether the current demolition project in the corner of Hanley's new business quarter on Broad Street is an instance of this phenomenon.

There is very little left of old Hanley once the thriving commercial centre of the Potteries.

Of all the towns in Stoke-on-Trent, none have been subject to such aggressive and ill advised planning proposals.

ALAN BERNER / THE SEATTLE TIMES

Waiting for a tow, a disabled combine without its rear wheels can no longer compete at the combine demolition derby. Deep ruts score the arena ground where others had been dragged to the pits.

If there is a headbanger's ball for the agrarian set, this is it. This combine demolition derby in Lind is one metal-to-metal mashup.

The Adams County town of 564 grows 10-fold once a year when these machines smash into each other until there's one survivor. Even at 7 mph, 10,000-pound combines pack plenty of punch.

Former champ Grant Miller says he uses a "rope-a-dope strategy. Be smart and stay out of a sandwich" -- getting squeezed between two others.

ALAN BERNER / THE SEATTLE TIMES

It's a squeeze play when a combine gets sandwiched between two competitors and is likely to suffer damage.

ALAN BERNER / THE SEATTLE TIMES

It's standing room only at the derby with Lind's population growing ten-fold for the annual demolition derby.

Wheat farmer Josh Knodel, whose JAWS team owns seven top trophies, began driving the family combine when he was 12.

Sometime in August, contractors will implode Warren Hall at California State University, East Bay in Hayward, near San Francisco.

By Becky Oskin LiveScience

A planned demolition of a building that can't endure California's earthquakes will also help geologists better understand a fault that could have destroyed the structure.

Sometime in August, contractors will implode Warren Hall at California State University, East Bay in Hayward, near San Francisco. The 13-story building was deemed the most seismically dangerous structure in the state university system by a seismic review board. Geologists plan to use the demolition to study the Hayward Fault, which runs just below campus and is due for an earthquake as strong as magnitude 7.0.

"Hayward is the one that worries us the most," said John Evans, a seismologist with the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) Earthquake Science Center in Menlo Park, Calif. "It's in the midst of a heavy urban area with lots of lifelines going through it power and water, roads and communications. It would be quite devastating if one or more of the segments of that fault go."

Because the East Bay is densely populated, it's difficult for researchers to employ traditional methods to study the Hayward Fault, Evans said. Residents aren't keen on sharing their backyards with controlled explosions or open trenches that reveal signs of past earthquakes.

The demolition, which will produce shaking that mimics a magnitude-2.5 quake, offers a rare opportunity to investigate the fault, Evans said. The USGS plans several studies in collaboration with geologists and students from CSU East Bay.

Before the implosion, the USGS will set up some 500 temporary seismometers sensors that measure ground motion throughout the hills and flats east of the San Francisco Bay. The supersensitive monitors will pick up the shaking produced as the building collapses. The network will give researchers their most detailed view yet of the structure of the Hayward Fault. As the seismic waves travel through the Earth, the little hiccups caused by discontinuities such as the Hayward Fault or different geologic layers help scientists see these underlying structures more clearly.

The study will also help predict how regions of the East Bay may shake during a future earthquake. Soft sediment, such as that found in the former marshes along the bay, often shakes harder than the bedrock in the hills. The dense seismic monitoring network will help researchers detect such differences.
