Riding across the Ravenel Bridge with Sparky at 3:02 pm

The worksite: Grace pier to the left (where Michael will punch a hole and remove the inner shell), Manny's crane with Manny in the driver's seat, T-2 behind him and the Ravenel Bridge in the background.

Stacked containers as a blast barrier on the left

Ken and Randy up for a last check of the setup

Here is the frame by frame sequence of ignition and detonation

T = 0 msec          T = 33 msec

T = 66 msec          T = 100 msec

T = 133 msec          Note the shock tube track from the columns to the cross member  T = 166 msec

T = 200 msec          T = 233 msec

T = 266 msec          T = 300 msec

T = 333 msec          T = 366 msec

T = 400 msec          T = 433 msec

T = 533 msec          Note shock tube ignition at the cap and detonation at the base of the left column T = 566 msec

T = 466 msec          T = 500 msec

T = 600 msec          T = 633 msec

T = 666 msec          T = 700 msec

T = 733 msec          T = 766 msec

T = 800 msec          T = 833 msec

T = 866 msec          T = 900 msec

T = 933 msec          T = 966 msec

T = 1000 msec          T = 1033 msec

T = 1066 msec          T = 1100 msec

T = 1133 msec          T = 1166 msec

T = 1200 msec          T = 1233 msec

Shock tube ignition (see right column about 1/3 up from the base)

Initial blast: note the lateral dispersion of debris on both the left and right columns

And compare with Friday's T-1 blast where the right column was wrapped with chain link fence
and the left column was unwrapped

and then collapse of T-2

with smoke

but not much else

After

After close

From the dock - no T-2, only blast barriers. Next job, Mickey and Ken will bring out the Copco and start drilling vertical blast holes to remove the base and sub-structures.
