Maybe that's why they chose the wrecking ball instead of ultra-high pressure devices.
Not saying nothing can happen, but most of the effort is inward with the ball instead of everywhereward with the high pressure devices. But most of the technique in using explosives involves small cutting charges, superbly timed.
The problem as I see it is that it all comes down at once, so its own kinetic energy throws stuff around.
I'm kind of interested in why they have a tire strung between the ball and the crane lines.
