This part of the old Tappan Zee Bridge was too structurally unsound for workers to take apart so, kaboom!

They made that mistake while tearing down an old bridge here in Pittsburgh back in the 80's. An ironworker was cutting it with a torch. The bridge suddenly buckled and snapped his leg off. Kaboom is safer.
