Turkish Building Demolition

Like rolling a die - Good thing there wasn't a hill for it to go bouncing down!
 
Who was the engineer on that job? Looks like a good lateral system. Would love to see a picture of the demolition contractor's face when he realized he was back at square 1.
 
Given that no one got hurt, that is an awesome video! That building was built to last!
 
Wow, just missed the next one!

i was really hoping to see some dominoes....
 
I guess that was not built by the recent contractors ("midnight construction") that have built some other buildings in and around Istanbul that build on disputed sites regarding ownership/control.
