To be honest i expected a lot worse.
I was worried about the Saenger.

But watching on DVR in super slomo, once the crane on the left plants into Rampart there is a piece of crane with cables attached that goes somewhere farther left.

The building looked a lot stronger than anyone expected. A crane fell on it and it didnt move.

Latoya probably has the Strong Arm on speed dial.

Whoever designed the cranes should’ve designed the building. They won’t even come down with explosives.

what is the next move. I can't even think of the strategy now


Demo the entire building and let it all fall in place.

Should have been the original plan

Looks like it almost made it to the NOHC parking lot. If it made it all the way to the sidewalk it barely did.

Crane on the left would make a great ‘in’ gif.

The mast didn’t hit anything on rampart but I’m not sure about the job. That fricker was sling shot across rampart.

Seems odd the way they decided to do it. Start exploding the boom and let it collapse towards the building before exploding the center of it.
