They aren't very far apart. 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.

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. :-)

If you look that up to verify, see if they explain how they locate the 2
out of the 500 that did not go off after everything has been relocated
after the explosions. Then again just like before being wired up they
are safe with out the detonator being hooked up.

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

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

Yup, never let facts get in the way of a sensational story. LOL

BUT there is this fact. If they determine that not all charges went off,
where were they and or which ones? :-)

Seems pretty simple to me...

They're the ones that are very close to the sections that didn't blow up.
