Conclusion
"Note that the 'standard' practice provides an almost two-thirds reduction in
peak acoustic pressure.
...
A comparison of the alternative noise abatement techniques and the uncovered TNT data is provided in Figure 34. This figure shows a ranking of average acoustic peak pressures of the alternative
techniques viewed relative to the standard. While the combination blast mat configuration showed favorable acoustic pressure reductions, they were destroyed in one shot and therefore would be a disposable item." (Blast Mats cost $5K)
Therefore we can see while an unexposed explosion could be a (literally) ear splitting 140db - standard industry practise would be expected to reduce noise by two-thirds. And the US had also conducted tests on blast mats in 2000 and reported this information in August 2001, saying that $5000 blast mats "showed favorable acoustic pressure reductions". Therefore, if there was a determined attempt to perform and disguise a Controlled Demolition on WTC buildings then noise levels could be reduced to the levels which were reported on the day.
It is also standard practise to produce a noise abatement report for any controlled demolition in an urban environment.
So please everyone stop trying to argue no explosives because no one heard any explosives (which also ignores everyone who actually did hear them)
Is this the "standard practice" described?
The MCAAP typical practice of applying two loader buckets, approximately 7 cubic yards, of
earthen overburden provides significant noise abatement relative to uncovered explosives.
So, no one noticed the two buckets of dirt for each set of explosives?
