33. You Do Realize That Physics Do Not Support Such Nonsense

Don't you.

A demolition grade explosive with sufficient brissance, velocity, and volume expansion will move a huge volume of air, very very fast.

You know what you call air moving very fast? SOUND!

Secondly, to do what you're proposing, the explosive used either has to be:
Extremely high volume expansion and near the speed of sound, or;
Extremely high shock output with a pressure wave FAR in excess of the speed of sound.

Either way, there would be a clear indication of all the dust and debris in the air all moving away at nearly the same time at a velocity that would preclude the air escapement due to the collapse, and would clearly precede the collapse itself.

And don't start with the super thermite thing. It would require MASSIVE amounts of it and the light would have visible through the windows of the building long before the collapse.

Science is not on your side.

I doubt it would be silent but wildbilln864 Dec 2015 #22
Ok not silent, but concealed. whitefordmd Dec 2015 #24
