How do you demolish a massive building – in the middle of a populated city – in a matter of seconds… safely? Counterintuitively, you do it with explosives. We explore how chemistry, engineering, and more than a little artistry come together to safely bring down massive structures. #implosion #controlledDemolition #dynamite #nitroglycerine You might also like: Science of Concrete & the Surfside Condo Collapse:    • What Happened in the Surfside Condo C...   Is Premium Gas Really Different From Regular?    • What's In "Premium" Gas?   How Can Fertilizer Explode?    • How Can Fertilizer Explode?   Are We Standing on a Quadrillion Tons of Diamonds?    • Are We Standing on a Quadrillion Tons...   Bomb Sniffing Military Dog vs. Machine (and Sam):    • Dog's Nose vs. Electronic Explosives ...   Credits: Executive Producers: Hilary Hudson Producers: Elaine Seward Andrew Sobey Darren Weaver Writer/Host: George Zaidan Scientific  …...more
