This is not a failed implosion. I was here at the event, taking photographs of it. The left side of the building was not set up for implosion, as it was too short. The main building was at the minimum level of stories (7 stories). The elevator shaft was still standing, because they decided not to install explosives due to a pre-existing tunnel under it. If the tunnel collapsed, it would send the debris of the Executive Inn into the river, which the EPA was monitoring to prevent debris.

@magnumchaos Man, I was just educated in the art of imploding a building... Thanks for the info, I'll change the name and info.
p.s. I figured they weren't trying to implode the left side... the "failed" part was more pertaining to the elevator shafts.
