20. Compression requires an airtight seal.

For this extreme compression of air to occur, you would need an airtight seal between the upper block and lower block. or else the air simply escapes out of the gap between the two blocks. there was no airtight seal between them.

2) the installation of the charges took place at night and/or on the weekends when people weren't working.

the 'puffs' come out of the windows in regular demolitions - see Rosa Luxemburg Mar 2012 #56
