there's never any evidence that something didn't happen. that is a logical given.
cables need to be attached to something, presumably a winch, and the winch must be moored to something more massive than the weakest link in a building.
something, like, say, some big cranes. do you see that?

listen to yourself, man! there's no evidence they DIDN'T! holy logical double standard, batman, get the irrationality repellent!

Then why does EVERY CD company talk about cutting pillars and test blasting and all that.

Sources for EVERY CD company? You are shooting yourself in the foot.

You just have a problem using words like: ALWAYS, MUST, NEVER, etc...

It is obvious that it could be done without a test blast... OBVIOUS. Likely, maybe not, but as long as you continue to use all encompassing, exacting language, I will continue to call you out for stating LIKELYHOODS as FACTS.

Been annoying knowing ya... have a nice life with your head in the sand.

I just sent this to CDI,

To whom it may concern,

I was wondering how the building 6 of the World Trade Center was demolished. I have been hearing conflicting versions. Can someone clear this up for me. I am a structural engineer interested in demolition exercises. I know that part of the demolition was tricky because of the slurry wall. Thanks in advance for your cooperation in answering my question.

Hopefully I will get a response. When I do, I'll post it.

I still haven't recieved a response from CDI. Wonder why? I'm going to e-mail them again. I used my real name and my company's e-mail, so they shouldn't just think I'm a CTer. I'm trying again.

As I was typing the last post, I recieved my response. Here is what it said. I left out names.

This structure was demolished by, we think, a company named NACERIMA. We understand they used a combination of a crane with a heavy steel slab to shear out column connections by dropping this slab next to columns and with demolition attachments like grapples and shears mounted on large hydraulic excavators. We weren’t involved, but I think this was the technique used.



Regards,

Now, I'm going to contact NACERIMA and see what they say.

Edit: So far I can't find any NACERIMA demolition company. Any help?

Can you give a time stamp for that. I'm at work and can't listen to it but would love to see this. Thanks for clearing this up also Slap Nuts.

I would give you the timestamp, however, for your own good, please watch the video in it's entirety when you can...

I am now very sorry that Loose Change has been distributed as it may lead people to not take the time to watch this one.

OK,Griff, to be honest, LOL I can't find the spot... you will see it if you watch it though.

I've watched some of it. I just can't hear it at work. Maybe tonight. I just wanted to see the cables. I think I saw them but wasn't sure if it was building 6 because I couldn't hear what they were saying. Is this video mpeg or avi file? If so, do you think it would be ok to convert it into DVD format for distribution to friends? I hope I can...I have a program that converts mpegs and avis to DVD.....legally of course.
