DCUM has suggested that C4 would be the most appropriate tool. Can we get someone to tell them they are doing it wrong? Oxy-acetylene is just too old school. [/quote]

Not C4, but copper clad linear cutting charges, would be a safer option for dismantling large sections of the truss wreckage that may be under considerable tension or compression loads. Certainly safer than oxy-fuel torches. I would expect cutting charges will be used to do quite a lot of the disassembly of pieces that are under such loads. It would be industry malpractice not to.

I'm sure you know how to blow things up. 
I'm also sure that the companies hired for this disassembly know the best way to do this.[/quote]

Like the company that was hired to build that bransit center in MoCo knew the right concrete to use?  It’s mind of surprisingly how often contractors totally do not know what they are doing.
