The former factory, built in 1928, was scheduled to be demolished to make way for a shopping mall. It was supposed to break up when it hit the ground, but instead it rolled over completely - ending up on its roof. An eyewtiness said: "The building tumbled like a matchbox. It was really dangerous because it might have hit the nearby building, but the wall prevented it " No-one was reported to have been injured.

Actually I meant both the towers, but I used images from the WTC 1 topple because its perspective was a closer match with the perspective of the demolition example. Certainly the WTC 2 topple was even more pronounced. MM

Very good eye noeffects ... I have recolored the sky to make it more pronounced in the following image. Edit to add - the original frame...

Posts: 798 Group: Members Member #178 Joined: 01/22/08	it is kind of funny how the gouged out section seems to be piled up in front of the building..a natural mound could exist as well....anyway.. when it tips over...the pile became a fulcrum for it to make the complete roll over... I was reading a snippet that said something to the effect that it was a planned demo to fall off to the side..I wouldn't know that. Another said the demo charges went off and nothing really happened...untill it started to tip... It was a former flour factory...

The only other building I know that would go down in one piece of detonated is this house, because of how my father built it--even in an earth-quake, it will go down in one solid piece.
