          I love it when they drop a structure in its own footprint . This one was a perfect demolition. There are others , mainly blocks of flats , where the explosions go off and the building still stands there defiantely. Very embarrassing for the experts.

            I too like implosions (is that what they're called?) and have seen a few of those. Thanks for sharing :)
