I saw an interesting item in a news papare the other day. You may have seen it too,

There was an old grain elevator in Souix Falls, SD, that was actually the tallest building in the city and maybe even the state. It had fallen out of use and the area around it was going to be redeveopled as an office and business park.

The demolition experts were going to take it down in a bang. People came from all around to watch the landmark drop. The explosive technicians set the charges in the support pillars and let it blow. The building did not drop. It simply sank a few feet and reset itself into the foundation. After some examination and some head scratching, the demolition crew decided the building was stable and would not fall under in its current state. They have decided against setting more charges and tyring again becasue they did not think the building would drop with a second attempt either. Instead they are going to take a wrecking ball to it and smash it to pieces a little at a time.

What would happen to any of your buildings if the demo experts tried to drop one?

They just don’t build ‘em like that any more, do they?
