Video – Bahamas beachfront blast…

Fabio Bruno blast precisely mirrors blast design.

The explosive demolition team of Fabio Bruno Construções has strayed from its native Brazil to carry out the controlled implosion of three resort hotels at Crystal Palace in Nassau, Bahamas.

The three towers consisted of 1 15-storey and 2 12-storey reinforced concrete towers.

But as fascinating as the blast itself is the way in which mirrors the blast design animation created prior to the implosion by Applied Science International (ASI).
ASI used its Extreme Loading for Structures (ELS) structural analysis software to simulate the implosion, testing several implosion plans to ensure the structures collapsed as required by the owners.

You can see the blast itself in the first video (below); but check out the second video too, and see just how precisely the planned and the reality match.
