Are they stupid...a controlled explosion would solve the problem.
Yes, and that would solve the pesky problem of survivors.
Well maybe-
...local fire service said 147 of the 213 residents from the building remained unaccounted for...
has something to do with it.
You'd have to go inside with a crew to set all the strategic explosives and that takes a lot of time. Don't think I'd want that job.........
FWIW, when they took down the Hudson building in Detroit, it took a 12 man crew 24 days to set all the explosives.......
I think at this point, the safest course of action would be to clear the area around it and let it fall.........
