You're doing it wrong! Chinese building demolition goes badly.
« on: January 01, 2010, 03:15:09 PM »
Both buildings being demolished were supposed to collapse straight down into a heap of rubble on the ground.
They didn't.  
There are some interesting pictures and a cool video of the oops at the link.  Story here.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I wonder if they had multiple, redundant charges, and if so, did those fail as well?

Building Demolition Fail

Another crazy one.
