Here is video from Turkey of how NOT to implode a building! The building used to house a Flour Factory, and when the planned implosion took place, instead of collapsing, the building rolled over onto its side and ended up upside down on its roof right up against an apartment building. Sky News reports there were no casualties. . . . . . (Watch Video)

Mistakes will be made, someone must be blamed. Someone is going to lose their job over this, good thing no one was killed.

Did they really expect a nearly solid concrete building to collapse by just blowing out the bottom floor or two?!

Typical implosions have explosives on multiple floors to collapse the building.

This appears to be someone trying to save dynamite.

It looks like they weren’t imploding the building, but chopping it down like a tree.

Well. it was a damn well built building, in that it did not fall apart as it rolled over.

Delta blew it by not providing an extra flight.
It could have meant more to them in PR then the flight would have cost them.
I say it was stupid on their part, but I know that Delta is not the Delta that I knew in years past.
I knew it from Delta C and S.
A ham radio friend of mine was a Delta pilot in Atlanta.
He flew their first 747 to Paris, on its maiden flight.

No, some things that go wrong are not Barack Obama’s fault. Not many, but this is one of them.

Oh, you were talking about that Steve Urkel. Never mind.
