Ray > Then when over a billion pairs of eyes across the planet are watching in horror on the TV sets, a massive explosion of the towers is necessary for the full effect. No, a simple implosion solution would not have worked in this instance. There would not be nearly enough drama to a simple gravity collapse of the towers. What was really called for was the creation of huge clouds of dust and debris in order to completely terrorized the stunned audiences. So, the explosives set were not merely capable of destablizing the buildings to the extent that gravity would bring them down. No, what was essential was that they appear to simply disintegrate before the eyes of the mesmerized and now fully terrorized public. That's exactly what I believe, in fact, I wanted to say it but didn't get around to it. Anyway, you said it better than I would have. Thanks. Nothing less than pure Shock and Awe would have sufficed. And if the results are anything to go by, what was done certainly achieved its purpose.
