When the demo a building, they also partially cut some columns and such before placing demolition charges, so control the fall. But I'm sure nothing I say will change your mind.
so what were the flashes in the upper floors? I am saying that video is not conclusive. But the narrative of the left is pure propaganda.... like skinning a cat there are multiple ways to take down a building, especially if you are doing it without a permit... Do you have a firm idea/position of what happened?
So many days and nobody in Florida is talking about any detection of explosives. Seems to be less and less likely.
I'm not a civil engineer, so I only have opinions, like you or everyone else. But I have read enough to know demolition teams cut things, knock out things, etc before doing those controlled falls.
The surv vid (posted a few days ago) showed the first section to fail was that near the pool. Having lost that section, other sections failed shortly later. The building fell in stages. Building didn't look like it was strongly built.
Explosives in the upper floors does not make sense. Cutting charges are only needed in the basement, and gravity does the rest. Blowing up an upper floor to make the building successively pancake is a very poor strategy, because structural columns are strong. You need to whack the columns at the base where the mass of the building can do much of the work.
Thanks. I agree explosives high up don't make sense... Having the pool area able to knock out other areas of the building like a keystone sounds like a monumental fail in building design.... Technically that area only carries a fraction of the load that the rest of the parking garage and sub-floors do.
