Maybe they should have just set it on fire like WTC 7… would have been cheaper in the long run.

Looks like the work of Al-Quaida!
…”Those darn anarchists.”
Just like Obama’s presidency.
“Lets go with this cheapest bid.” What could go wrong?
#2 What, Obama has fallen over to his right?
#3 Should we go for the highest bid instead? Theres an attributed quote about an American astronaut going into space.
Reporters Question: “How does it feel to go into space?”
Astronaut’s Answer: “I realised that I was sitting on a rocket with six thousand components, every one built by the low bidder”
Time to call in GW Bush’s brother, he’d be able to get the job done.
Oh! We should have cut the supports on each floor and not just the base? Whoops!
> Maybe they should have
> just set it on fire
> like WTC 7
Perhaps they left their tin-foil hat at home that day. Clearly you still have yours.
I feel for the poor schmuck who’s gotta go back in there and plant some more explosives.
http://dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1239841/Youre-doing-wrong-Chinese-demolition-men-accidentally-create-leaning-tower-Liuzhou.html
looks as if someone BUILT THEM VERY WELLLLLL!!!
You only had to blow the bl**** doors off.
The Chinese failing on something engineer related? Say it isn’t so!
#5 I thought Dumbya’s brother was in office.
Just like the Republicans and taxes, they got cheap with the quantity of explosives and ended up with a bigger mess than before.
#13 Oh, the lefty loon felt the jab. Poor thing.
I don’t see any explosions from inside the upper levels. Probably lost an ignition wire connection somewhere very important. I have seen a couple of these demolitions in person, and they are great fun. Typically, the detonations fire in a specific sequence to pancake the top floors begging at the top. And, boys, do we have to make EVERY FUCKING thing political????
#15 There are some morons here that have some kind of fixation. You can map their personalities from there.
Man, I hope they don’t execute the engineer who was responsible for this snafu.
Not exceptionally well built. Just a showing of typical Chinese poor engineering as they were unable to blow up a Chinese building. If they had just left it alone it would have fallen on its own given the past history of Chinese construction.
I agree, they should have just poured in some kerosene on the floor about 3/4 of the way to the top, let it burn, and it would have fallen perfectly straight down! people do believe that, right?
Good foundations and not enough HE.
You taken out the ground level supports and everything else pancakes on top of it.
Looks like they got part of one side. I hope they had good insurance.
This being China I wonder if the guy in charge got off with being fired.
