Why does anyone still bothers using explosives? A few rooms on fire and a couple of pieces of another building dropped on the roof is all it takes for a building to fall symmetrically into its own footprint. Since 9/11 and the collapse of Building 7 we have proof of this. Saying otherwise makes you a conspiracy nut, ignorance is strength!
I remember that building. I think it was the building where someone wrote "Jesus" on it or something. Otherwise, this is one of the earlies youtube videos. And I happen to live in the city where this happened. Small world, huh?
yeah they dont make the buildings like they used to out of solid concrete. today it's as cheap as possible,and make sure it breaks every couple of years or the building has problems so contractors have jobs.......welcome to the modern capitalist world...
@DonatedBus Like, I know, eh? See I live in Canada, right, and Yankees all think all we have is igloos. But I don't know what those hosers are talkin' aboot 'cause we got the post office downtown.
i was there watched this demo as i live in Sioux falls. they used over 100LBS. of explosives but didn't take into fact the basement where the building fell into.
When they did the Zip feed mill the old timers told them they put rebar in the cement but the city didnt listen so there is the result, they used an insuficent amount of explosives for the strenght of the building
I had a similar fail-demolition in my hometown. They tried to demolish a silo of our local lime works, but they failed, leaving there like seen in this video.
actually, it is a real demolition, i was there inside the blast zone (not where the explosives are, but my dad is a cop and i was able to be within the range that regular citezens could not
I watched it happen. It was pretty funny because it made one final fight to go. It was called the Leaning Tower of Zip Feed. Now there is some Plaza overlooking the river.
i live in sioux falls and it wasn't a sioux falls demolition company that did the job... my dad wasn't surprised that it didn't fall... he said if you didn't build the building how do you expect to demolish it? they brought in a crane and it took the operator 3 weeks to finish the job... it was pathetic but atleast we made national news for once and Youtube
@Tyster360 i don't remember where the company was from but it wouldn't surprise me if they were from iowa... their all just idiots out wandering around
@KAK1282 Your an idiot. People in South Dakota arn't morons. Plus the demolition company that did this one, was from Iowa. The demolition company were the morons.
yeah they dont make the buildings like they used to out of solid concrete. today it's as cheap as possible,and make sure it breaks every couple of years or the building has problems so contractors have jobs.......welcome to the modern capitalist world...
I just watched a video of a demolition fail in China. The advantage to capitalism is that shitty building companies stop getting business. In China, why try?
They didn't melt, idiot. You can clearly see the debris in the images of Ground Zero after the attacks. Jet fuel weakened the support. That lovely thing called Gravity does the rest. Few people realize skyscrapers aren't actually made to withstand full sized jet airliner impacts.

My all time favorite Demo Gone Wrong! Not just because of the sturdy building. But, because you can hear the audience making comments from excitement to astonishment. And, now with high explosives wired throughout the remaining structure. Someone has to go in there and set things straight.
It was under control, and when people are thinking properly (like here, sort of), they're at least hundreds of feet away. I'm pretty sure it's impossible for that to happen unless the building fell over like the one in Turkey (as well no one was hit).
i was standing right near where this was filmed. i was also maybe the first live news footage of a punk rocker in south dakota that day, which is even more exciting to that lame state
Who else would have been taping the demolition other than the demolishers themselves? The people you hear laughing are them. Demolitions are taped often for studies and security purposes.
Some buildings are hard to demolish, it happens. It also has a lot to do with the decay of the building. If the building has decayed more on one side it goes down on it faster. I have seen buildings with dynamite not even shake with the implosion.
Ha, funny thing, in my town there was a similar screw up with a similar building... Seems that old industrial-type buildings are a tough nut to crack!
Ha! I seen a near exact situation in Lewis, DE when I was a kid. They were taking down a fish processing factory that looked shocking similar to this building, with the same result, leaning just the same. Someone had put a sign on the fence that read, "building-2, TNT-0", so they must have been having trouble for some time.
looks like a military target now....who else would want to add demo. explosives to that!
