Someone said the reason it didn't work was the Stadium wasn't used to implosions until 1pn. | |||

That's why you use 2 independent firing lines for something like this. If the first fails, fire the second. I wonder if they had a single firing system, too. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear.

Yes the local news said that 1/2 the charges didn't detonate due to a wiring issue.

Which is why you don't daisy chain the critical charges. If it positively has to fail because of explosives, each charge has a primary and secondary detonator, all on individual lines of det cord. Yes it's more expensive and labor intensive but you don't get hung up structures.

Free beer while the building stands or strippers, once, if the building falls on the first try? I'm thinking it's going to take a while to knock it over. Very complicated doncha know? Years of careful planning. | |||

Apparently twice is the charm, more charges and a lot of checks and the ring is off the building.

I don’t think their intention was to blow up the whole building. They were just trying to get the high stuff down low enough to reach it with their equipment. | |||

The intent of the explosive demo was to bring down the steel ring that supported the dome. The rest of the structure will be taken down by excavator and normal methods. The ring apparently presented a risk to normal demolition and had to come down in one piece.

Watched a lot of Supercross races in there. Back in the late 70's and early 80's they would have huge attendance Saturday evening and again on Sunday afternoon. _____________________ Be careful what you tolerate. You are teaching people how to treat you. | |||
