Disagree. They were probably brought down at an angle due to close proximity of other buildings they wanted to preserve.

Reminds me of the triple play scene in the old “Odd Couple” movie.

Yep - and get all the rubble near the middle of the site. Screwed up on the one building in the middle. The short building at the far edge hard to tell. Maybe that was too close to the street/other buildings they will use the wrecking ball.

So you're suggesting that the demolitions team chose art over function and intended to mimic the famous Tiananmen Square image with this holdout?

Alrighty, then. /s And I'll just ignore all the other visible problems with the demolition. Apparently the chins haven't stolen that technology...yet.

china wastes resources building shoddy apartments then condemn them in 10 years leaving largely foreign investors out of pocket, then they rinse and repeat so everything has the illusion of brand new

85,000 individual charges and 4.6 tons total. Doesn’t make sense, that’s 1.7 ounces of explosives per charge. If that’s all that is needed to bring the structures down, the construction has to very very poor quality.

Do a you tube search - tofu dreg

China’s wealth is an illusion, a Ponzi scheme of massive proportion.

...and sometimes the buildings there topple over all by themselves. No TNT needed at all.

Only a government can waste money on the scale that was wasted in this building project.

The nickname for that type of construction is “tofu dregs construction”. So called because like tofu dregs they crumble easily.

Every once in a while while playing YouTube roulette I’ll hit one of those and spend an hour or so watching demolition of various structures around the world. I put it down as “engineering study time”.
