Presumably but that information doesn't help the poor schmucks that
have to go in and tear those sections down.

Yup, never let facts get in the way of a sensational story. LOL
BUT there is this fact. If they determine that not all charges went off,
where were they and or which ones? :-)

If you look that up to verify, see if they explain how they locate the 2
out of the 500 that did not go off after everything has been relocated
after the explosions. Then again just like before being wired up they
are safe with out the detonator being hooked up.

Seems pretty simple to me...
They're the ones that are very close to the sections that didn't blow up.

There was a mini-series called "Blowdown" that featured them. It was only 8
episodes or so, but great fun to watch. It might be worth setting your DVR
if you're interested.

Looks like it aired on the National Geographic channel:
http://natgeotv.com/asia/blowdown/videos/blowdown
Amazon has the videos but they are SUPER OVERPRICED, at about $15 each
for a 50 minute TV show:
https://smile.amazon.com/Blowdown-the-Miami-Job/dp/B003ZK4ZOY/
I thought I had them all recorded, but I don't see them on my Plex
library. I'll have to check when I get home, they might not be on that
server.

At least you know what to look for now. I'll have to see if I've got
them recorded and we can arrange something to let you watch them.

Explain? The local talk-radio news shows are acting like it's a
pretty big deal. Of course, they get paid to make a big deal out of
things.

Don't know if you'll actually find it available for recording...
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowdown_(TV_series)
There was this one too:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Detonators_(TV_series)
Maybe they're available on one of the networks' website.

They aren't very far apart. I have been down there (that close) but I
understand that the stadiums were about the width of a two-lane road
apart.
I think that's the first "implosion" where the left a couple of walls
standing. It's going to be a mess figuring out if all of the charges
went off (could get interesting digging through a mine field).

They have ways of confirming that all the charges went off, including
but not limited to, audio monitoring.

I'll try to look it up.
I saw a documentary on controlled implosions and the technology has come
a long way.
Of course, in this day and age of low bid gets the contract, perhaps not
every demolition company is on the same plane, technology wise.
In the doc, they were talking about having a lot of cameras everywhere,
transmitting video of the explosions from the inside of the building.
They also could computer analyze audio recordings from different
locations to "hear" if every explosion went off. Pretty cool stuff,
especially for a guy with an audio background. :-)

I'll keep an eye out for it. If you can find it, it would be

OTOH, insurance drives a lot of this. Cutting corners risks
cancellation. Not good for business (wouldn't be surprised if they
got dinged, big time, for this one).

When I lived in NY, we'd occasionally see the Loizeaux (Controlled
Demolition Inc.) family on the News when they were bringing down large
buildings. It is indeed cool stuff.
I haven't watched them yet but it looks like some interesting stuff
here:
