Controlled demolitions is a a world of difference with any weather "Monster"
the Discovery channel in recent times show differents programs with twisters
and Hurricanes, to complete the idea the news from LA,TX,MS show a very
complete idea what a Monster can do to any construcction, no rules, nothing
planed free will.
in the Omega , they plan the Z shape to get all the tower in a limited area,
they detonate half base, and several feet above one side of the tower, i
remember 2 high points in the tower where explote to get the espected
result. all the wires was attached to the tower, maybe some where weakened ,
i don't know. is very common they cut parts in some buildings or bridges to
help and reduce the explosive charge.
