They don't build 'em like they used to!!

I bet the demolition contractors look a right lot of Turkeys!

Looks to me like one whole side of charges didn't go off, either that or incredibly bad demolition design.

This was on the news the other day. The funny thing is that engineers spent twelve days making preparations and cutting away the side so that it would collapse properly. what a waste of time!

great footage

it's an ex-factory building, extremely strong built in late seventies. apparently they've underestimated it's structural strength and assumed it'd just burst into pieces when it fell on its side.

fortunately no one was hurt. it's a funny footage

It says it was built in 1928

Glad no-one was hurt. Looking at another post about Turkish driving, it looks like the Turkish version of the late Fred Dibnah is about the same standard..........
