Local authorities in Chaohu, Anhui assured nearby residents that the planned demolition of a gate near their homes and businesses would be a professional and measured process. Villagers living as close as 20 meters from the gate worried aloud that their windows would be damaged, but were assured the process would be safe, and that they could in fact watch it from their homes! When the time came and the charges exploded, not only did they fail to knock down the gate, they blew out all the neighboring windows and destroyed the furniture inside.

We really can't wait to see what's in store for us next year. more ›
