It looks like he's using one of the portable bandsaws that have come up previously to at Adam Savage's 'technique', so I'm guessing yes?Surely, that's a situation where a barely-controlled thermite reaction is the safer option, though?

Cut one and the tower will collapse in the direction between the two remaining wires. (as they're still loaded.) No need to do anything more than cut one wire to bring it crashing down.

Though maybe that just flings burning thermite everywhere when the wire breaks free.

No need to do anything more than cut one wire to bring it crashing down. I mean more from the "Large chunk of metal flies off suddenly while worker is inches from it". It just feels like, much like any infomercial, There's Got To Be a Better Way.

The last bit of it still fell directly towards them as things collapsed and something very easily could have flown in their direction.

Cthulu Carl posted:I mean more from the "Large chunk of metal flies off suddenly while worker is inches from it". Oh right. Yeah, i'm sure the same end result can be acheived with the people controlling the demolition much further away. Like others said, explosives, thermite, etc. Want something even more risky, with people getting real up close and personal to dangerous poo poo? Meet Fred Dibnah! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhpMiKds8lc&t=255s Everything he did belongs in this thread. The guy was amazing.

Here's a series of bomb disposal training films from 1973 starring Mickey Rooney and produced by the Miami-Dade Police Department Bomb Squad: Bombs I, II, and III. Warning: A few grainy pictures of gore. "An explosion is the sudden going of one place to someplace else." Try your luck defusing some bombs in III.

The casual "There she goes," at its collapse suggests that yes, they were planning on taking the tower down by just sawing away one of the guy wires.

Oh man..... Just let me say good luck to "Firefighters Forced to Dodge Projectiles" and "Blaze hits Bull Artificial Insemination Facility". Opening for "Massive Semen Explosion" sounds like a tough gig, but overall it sounds like one hell of a concert.
