He that's racist....USA knows how to make cheap steel too! Stop
excluding us.

the demo guys previously had probably only blown up cheap chinese
steel. this was old US steel

This was probably all shaped cutting charges... The problem with
that is the internals of the steel. They usually pre-cut some of the
members to determine the composition of the charges and if they cut
the wrong member they get the wrong results...

Pretty sure they didn't think the steel was going to be that
resilient.
Its a far away shot, but it doesn't look like there's anything but
superficial damage.

I have just enough nautical knowledge to seem stupid on the
Internet... My theory is that they were planning to neatly cut
it
into medium sized chunks that could be reasonably lifted out of
the
river with a medium sized crane on a flat barge and carried
away.
Severing the whole thing and dropping it into the river in one
piece
would require a significantly larger/more expensive crane and
corresponding barge.
Not enough explosives at the severing points, or an
underestimate of
the strength/grade of the steel?

OK, mechanical stuff is not my strong point. But for anyone
who
watched the video of the failed bridge implosion in Little
Rock,
Arkansas, what were they thinking? It seems they rigged
explosives on the arch and the bridge deck, both of which
are in
compression. It seems to me they needed to sever the
cables,
which are in tension. That at least would have caused the
deck
to collapse.____
