Default The leaning tower of SD

S.D. (AP) - Thousands of spectators gathered Saturday to watch the demolition of the city's tallest building _ but the Zip Feed Mill tower was stronger than it looked.


The 202-foot-tall concrete structure dropped slightly, leaned a little _ and stopped.

Don't they know the easiest way to collapse a building straight down?
Smash an airplane into it.

No, no, just start a fire on its top 1/3 or so. The weight of the top will then collapse the rest into powder, as is so common with buildings. Especially steel ones. They collapse quicker than my willpower in Vegas.
