This entire fiasco resulted because demo contractor Adamo [[excellent company) subcontracted the implosion to an amateur company.
I had occasion a few years ago to deal with the world's experts, Controlled Demolition Inc. [[CDI.) The company was started in 1947 by the Loizeaux family in Baltimore. It holds several world records for implosions of structures of every kind, from the tallest to the largest. It imploded the J.L Hudson store several years ago. Had CDI handled the Silverdome job [[admittedly, a rather small job) it would be rubble at this time. Even though it's a small job all implosions involved a huge amount of engineering and explosive skills and the company that was supposed to blow down the Silverdome didn't have them.
