Reply #118: I was involved with conventional demolition [View All]

Anytime we used explosives which was very rare, we sub contracted it out to CDI. The first real skyscrapers to come down in this way were wtc 1 & 2. So the only ones who really know how it was done, did it. I don't understand why you start your question with the 50th. floor, When you watch the footage it is smooth sailing all the way down; Also that would mean that there would have been a lot of bolts shearing. When bolts shear they go like bullets. I do not remember any reports of damage to people or buildings near the WTCs from bolts. These would be huge bolts too! Load bearing steel at the lower floors would be heaver then that at the top, I just don't see the fall to be so perfectly straight if it wasn't controlled all the way down. Steel in smaller structures likes to twist,topple and bend, and Elevator shafts and stairwells are notorious sticking points in a mechanical fell if they are not prepared well enough. Believe me it is not fun going back into a building to cut steel with a torch after you have already given it a tug. As hard as the rigging of these buildings is for me to get my head around, the perfect fell, or 3, without the use of explosives is even harder to get my mind around. I am trying to get a dialog started with some old friends and family still in the business and are members of what used to be the NADC and is now the NDA. There is also a group of lawyers in my area who are trying to get a movement for truth going. I will be active with them. Sorry if this has been a little disjointed, I am trying to edit a lot of information.:yourock:
