Still Pretty Reckless as If your theory is Accurate, One the blue buildings could be structurally compromised in a manor making it unsafe for farther demolitions. the Charges have to be placed by people entering the structure. if the building could fall at any moment or partially collapse in a uncontrolled manor then the whole point of the explosive demolition is a waste.
two the whole point of explosive demolitions is to control the damage and fall out. That's Why it's used in Urban area's because of worry of the structure falling on other structures. Now if they intended to wrecking ball the Blue building then doing it with the stack is frankly more frightening.
It's like Your dentist pulling a cavity and then braking the one next to if because he's going to do it next week.
I see your points, but I would like to give the engineers the benefit of the doubt. Shenyang is one of the biggest cities in China and has been one of the biggest heavy industrial centers in east Asia. These engineers have been building and pulling down building a for a long long time. When its engineers want to do something in a way that even us the non-engineers scatch our heads, I would tend to believe that they would realize what's wrong with it long before us. Yet they still did it. Well, I would like to think that the had their reasons and they had taken all the precautions. And their reason for doing it this way must be good enough to convince their boss. Let's face it, no one wants to take the responsibility for messing up such a big job. It would make you look bad on the national level and destroy your career.
So all in all, keep in mind that if amateurs like us can spot what's wrong with it, the professionals wold have spotted them long before. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt. Again, these people are not some farmers doing some backyard jobs.
