I don't think this qualifies this as a demolition expert. He was paraded out and then sent away and I have tried to contact him for an interview and it has been unsuccessful.
But a real CD person would be interesting to speak with.
Quote:Sullivan attended high school with Doug Loizeaux of the Loizeaux family. The Loizeaux family, through the father Jack, independently started the whole controlled-demolition industry and turned it into a highly profitable business. Sullivan, before he became connected to CDI, was an independent photographer during his early years in Maryland. He would be sent to CD sites and take still pictures of the jobs. He became infatuated with the CD industry. The time came when he would do both, being the placer of the "cutter charges" on the primary joints, and photographing the jobs for promoting the business. Soon he would switch to full-time employee status of CDI -- as verified by AE911Truth's verification team.
Quote:One of Sullivan's most exciting jobs was the colossal Kingdome in whose reinforced concrete structure he personally placed hundreds of deadly explosive charges.How many cutter charges have you placed, JO?
Working for CDI was, Sullivan stated, "a very unique experience." He also said, "they were a close-knit family -- referring to the familial values of the Loizeauxs." "I learned from watching," said Sullivan. "There is no school that will teach you this, just hands on hard work."
