TACOMA, Wash. There's nothing left of the iconic Puget Sound ferry Kalakala (kuh-LAHK'-uh-luh) except the pieces they saved for souvenirs.

Demolition was completed last week at a dry dock in Tacoma, Washington.

Rhine Demolition says some pieces already have been claimed.

The News Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/1zPurKQ ) the rounded pilot house, windows and rudder are going to buyers who want to preserve a bit of Washington's maritime history. Some smaller souvenirs might go on sale to the public.

The sleek, silver ferry was the postcard symbol of Seattle in the days before the Space Needle.

After the 276-foot vessel was used as a fish processor in Alaska it was returned to Puget Sound. But plans to restore it never came up with enough money.

Dennis Whedbees crew was rushing to prepare an oil well for pumping on the Sweet Grass Woman lease site, a speck of dusty plains rich with crude in Mandaree, North Dakota.

It was getting late that September afternoon in 2012. Whedbee, a 50-year-old derrickhand, was helping another worker remove a pipe fitting on top of the well when it suddenly blew.

As part of our ongoing investigation, we invite you to tell us about your experience navigating the workers comp system. Have something we should look into?

Paralyzed in a warehouse accident, Joel Ramirez has battled Californias workers comp system.

Oil and sludge pressurized at more than 700 pounds per square inch tore into Whedbees body, ripping his left arm off just below the elbow. Coworkers jerry-rigged a tourniquet from a sweatshirt and a ratchet strap to stanch his bleeding and got his wife on the phone.

Babe, he said, tell everyone I love them.

It was exactly the sort of accident that workers compensation was designed for. Until recently, Americas workers could rely on a compact struck at the dawn of the Industrial Age: They would give up their right to sue. In exchange, if they were injured on the job, their employers would pay their medical bills and enough of their wages to help them get by while they recovered.

No longer.

SCHENECTADY- It's like putting together a puzzle but in reverse, demolition crews and investigators are taking down 100 and 104 Jay St. in Schenectady one chunk at a time.

"Very methodical it's going to be a delayed and long process," says Lt. Mark McCracken, of Schenectady Police Department.

ATF's National Response Team is helping with that process, they along with fire investigators were seen doing a cite survey, looking for what needed to be secured structurally before the big rigs went to work.

The two buildings went up in flames around 2 a.m. Friday morning. It took firefighters until daylight to bring it under control. Ten people were injured, three of them firefighters. Police say several people are missing, they didn't have an exact number.

They put out a plea for anyone who either lived there or may have been inside and have not been formally interviewed by investigators to contact police. The people missing may have been trapped.

"Again it's just to determine who was definitely inside and who we can cross off the list and make sure they're safe and sound, says McCracken.

Police say some of those still missing may be casualties of the massive blaze. That's partly why they're being very careful with the demolition.

They're going to do a controlled demolition, examining the building in an attempt to gain some sort of evidence, determining how the fire how the fire started. And determining also if anyone was trapped inside, says McCracken.

But also they say to make sure the buildings on either side of the fire scene suffer minimal to no damage in the process.
