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.
