Sandia's directed-energy group has successfully developed a highly compact high-voltage pulser capable of powering various directed-energy loads. The design uses Sandia's pulsed power experience and combines a battery-driven power supply and Marx generator in producing its output pulse. This development effort has resulted in a battery-driven pulser capable of delivering a 30 GW drive to a load. This extremely compact, lightweight, and rugged approach will enable many future directed-energy systems that require portable high-power drivers. Using technical assistance and advice provided by Sandia's Explosives Applications Dept. 15322 ‹ including on-the-ground support from Dale Preece ‹ the British Royal Engineers destroyed a cave complex on the border between the Paktika and Paktia provinces in Afghanistan on May 10, 2002. This Operation Enduring Freedom event was reportedly the largest explosion set off by the Royal Engineers since World War II.

And they are obviously making great headway, if the Brits can use a DEW to achieve "the largest explosion set off since WW II."

That's the very problem for claims of a controlled demolition IE there is no large explosion to be observed - not one. If a directed energy beam were used wouldn't you expect to see some major disturbance in the smoke and dust it had to pass through?

To me, that pic has more in common with a waterfall than an explosion because it's a vast amount of smashed solid material but it moves as a fluid would in response to gravity. A powerful blast (I mean a real explosion) would look vastly different with radial ejections of the lighter materials and note the cloud of falling material to see if this DEW could actually penetrate that with being noticed.

The basic problem for demolition ideas is evident in this thread if we take just 3 observations and interpretations of that picture.
1.
I see a huge mass falling and pulverising the mass below it with no visible explosion effects unless you call what happens when you belt a piece of concrete with a mallet an explosion.
2.
Gottago sees explosions going off ejecting material outward which is a reasonable observation except for the absence of blasts.
...
But show me 100%, no holds barred, smoking gun, omg proof of explosions and I'll be supporting it straight away as I'm not dedicated to any cause nor do I have any political or other agenda to defend at all costs plus I'm not a US citizen.
In 6 years I simply haven't seen any such proof so could the reason for that be it doesn't exist?

In relation to WTC2 the severe tilt of the top section at the start of collapse almost led to that section falling off the building before the floors beneath it gave enough to allow it to settle in.
