LarsS Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 When you blow the crap out of a building with direct or indirect HE the walls come down just the same way as when blown down by engineers' demo charges. Does this mean that the overall structural integrity is affected the same way by both types of damage? And, by extension, does it mean that an already weakened building could actually collapse when engineers blow in another wall? It would be hysterical if this happened when the said engineers were in the building, preferably on the top floor. Anyone see this happen? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen buildings fall down from a sneeze, so I'd certainly imagine that if an Engineer took down the last supporting wall, and was standing in an unfortunate place, they'd get crushed by falling masonry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
