I have been down there (that close) but I understand that the stadiums were about the width of a two-lane road apart. I think that's the first "implosion" where the left a couple of walls standing. It's going to be a mess figuring out if all of the charges went off (could get interesting digging through a mine field). |

They have ways of confirming that all the charges went off, including but not limited to, audio monitoring. Explain? The local talk-radio news shows are acting like it's a pretty big deal. Of course, they get paid to make a big deal out of things. |

Of course, they get paid to make a big deal out of things. I'll try to look it up. I saw a documentary on controlled implosions and the technology has come a long way. Of course, in this day and age of low bid gets the contract, perhaps not every demolition company is on the same plane, technology wise. In the doc, they were talking about having a lot of cameras everywhere, transmitting video of the explosions from the inside of the building. They also could computer analyze audio recordings from different locations to "hear" if every explosion went off. Pretty cool stuff, especially for a guy with an audio background. :-) -- -MIKE- "Playing is not something I do at night, it's my function in life" --Elvin Jones (1927-2004) -- www.mikedrums.com |

Then again just like before being wired up they are safe with out the detonator being hooked up. |

Cutting corners risks cancellation. Not good for business (wouldn't be surprised if they got dinged, big time, for this one).

Pretty cool stuff, especially for a guy with an audio background. :-) When I lived in NY, we'd occasionally see the Loizeaux (Controlled Demolition Inc.) family on the News when they were bringing down large buildings. It is indeed cool stuff. I haven't watched them yet but it looks like some interesting stuff he http://www.controlled-demolition.com/ |

If they determine that not all charges went off, where were they and or which ones? :-) |
