The area around the Hard Rock Hotel remains closed to the public because of safety concerns.

Officials hope to knock down the cranes that were damaged during Saturday's collapse of the top floors of the hotel, which was under construction at Canal and North Rampart streets. Authorities said it's imperative the cranes are brought down in a controlled manner before any potential bad weather spun from a tropical system in the Gulf of Mexico hits the region.

If the cranes were to come down on their own, say because of high winds or some other reason, authorities fear they could cause extensive damage to the area, including to neighboring buildings near the construction site.
