Huge chunks of granite, some weighing as much as 15 tons, toppled in a steady, clattering stream into the greasy green water below the crude escarpment. Three red-painted vibrators, as tall as ten-story buildings, sent their yards-long steel fingers combing through sand that gushed from giant tubes. Then, suddenly, there was silence. High on a granite crag overlooking the scene, two men pressed two tiny buttons.
