Something is kind of odd about this one. 567 lbs of explosives to shoot a 4 story frame? Heck, they are shooting 14 story buildings with less than 100 pounds.
I read this this morning: The demolition contractors said they considered using more than 700 pounds of explosives, enough for a 15- to 20-story structure. That

Got to believe this was more for the media than demolition efficiency.
I think that is exactly what is was. Kind of saying the "boom" is over and it's time to move on. But yet the Mayor wanted to stop it, so I don't know.
Not much weight and distance to work with on this one. Got to believe this was more for the media than demolition efficiency.
You'd be surprised how many people want to see a building shot! I just did a 4-story that I could have taken down in 1 day with an excavator. I could have saved the contractor alot of time and money...but nooo! We shot the building and all went well. The bottom line was he spent 300% more to shoot.

Looks a little short for implosion, would be better off bringing it down manually.:(
That is kind of what I was thinking. But I think city officials want to "Make a scene" maybe link it to the dot.com implosion. :dunno:
