If there is a time capsule buried under it, and apparently there is, then it would make sense for them to remove the capsule. But I'm not really convinced there's anything that special inside the capsule. However I will admit that demolishing the entire monument for "safety reasons" makes it seem like they wanted to remove the time capsule.

What sized shape charge would be needed to cause that much damage? Surely less than the one in the video above, don’t you think? Granite will powder shatter, and crack, that charge above went through steel. And quite a way.
How would a small 1” round charge, placed against edge of a granite slab perform? 2” 3” ? And if It shoots a copper rod, it shouldn’t be too hard to tell that one was used. I’m thinking all of the above would help determine if it was placed, or fired at.

Are they really granite? Based on the pictures I assumed concrete.

All this said, just because we didn't see a person placing a charge, doesn't mean there wasn't one. Someone could very well have placed a charge like this in the stone after drilling a hole for a simple dynamite charge. But that would have taken quite a bit of time.

I understood it perfectly.
Then why would you ask if I thought that was mainstream after I said it was.
