| #8 the rebirth of the Wide-Crack Pontiac??? Heh. Over at Small Dead Animals, someone snarked that they should have just rammed it with a Pinto. |

| #7 Pontiac. Wiring. GM ignition systems. Somewhere there is a joke hidden in all this. If you can work something in about the beautiful Aztek (not!) extra bonus points). Although some of those fractures are bigger than others; could this be the rebirth of the Wide-Crack Pontiac??? |

| #6 @#3: Clearly. Considering the neighborhood, it is surprising that (better trained) putter-inners could not be locally sourced. |

| #4 I heard that ‘a wire was broken somewhere. We don’t know where’. The charges to collapse the main columns failed. Question is, Who will go in there now that it is partially collapsed to check it out? |

| #2 Lost cost bidder or politically affiliated bidder? Adamo Group out of Detroit did the implosion. It looked like a dud to me but WXYZ Detroit says otherwise. According to the city, the first implosion will break the metal beams that are used to keep the roof inflated at the perimeter of the stadium. The rest of the demolition will be conducted in phases over the next year, using hydraulic excavators to break up materials and a vacuuming process to pick up the pieces. Adamo says: It could still fall, but the timetable is uncertain, said officials with Detroit-based Adamo Group, the demolition company. Ten percent of the explosive charges failed to go off because of a wiring problem, said Rick Cuppetilli, executive vice president with Adamo. These were in eight key locations. Conclusion: it was a dud. |

| #1 I watched the video. The little puffs from the explosions were not very impressive. |
