Had no idea this could be done. Cool.

I really admire ingenious solutions to complex problems.

Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, but it is fun to watch thousands of pounds of explosives go off and a building falling down and going KABOOM

OL, were you aware of this sort of technique before seeing this?

Can't argue with that, darlin'. I love that stuff too!

THAT IS SO COOL !!!

The big problem with skyscrapers has always been what to do with them when they are DONE. It's one thing if there is just one building. You just 9/11 it. In a place like downtown anywhere, explosives are not an option. And that has always left ...no options.

This will take care of that.

This is so fascinating! ^_^

No I was not.  I was aware that there is a real art and science to imploding
a building so that it falls in on itself and lessens collateral damage to any
surrounding structures.  But I had never heard of this. 

Also I really liked some of the details like the way they used the loads
going down to power some of the electricity for the job.  So smart. 

Thanks again.  I have passed it on to others.
