Love the excuse by president and owner, "explosives detonated correctly, but an undetected crack on the south side of the tower pulled it in a different direction."

Typical...blame someone and/or something for failure.

What did you want them to say? "I donno...." ? "The tower fell the wrong way."?

It's called an explination. Cripes.

"Everybody was kind of excited, looking for cover."

If it was undetected.....and they blew the tower up which came crashing down....how would they know it was a crack that caused it to fall the wrong way????

I mean, I'm no rocket scientist, but when something that big falls, its bound to get a crack or two.

No, it's called think of something quick so we're not liable. That's their job, detect this stuff so this doesn't happen. Ya' know?
