While they've got one up on Shanghai for at least meaning to fell their tower, this demolition fail in Liuzhou, Guangxi Province is still pretty insane. The planned explosion was supposed to reduce the tower into a contained heap of rubble. Instead, it split the whole thing in half, causing one side to fall over and the other side to lean like it was in Pisa. Liuzhou residents didn't seem alarmed.
The building, which was being destroyed to make way for more lucrative real estate projects, has now been taken down by crane, says Daily Mail (or not, see our comments).
