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

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.

We're all understanding clearly that Silverstein is not a construction worker, firefighter, demolitions expert, or anything but a property owner... right?
So his use of terminology is still subject of so much scrutiny?
Interesting.
