Shoddy asian engineering , glad they didn't have that for the Olympics. Reminds me of the crash test for that truck from China.

I think this qualifies as an *engineering disaster.

Adding video to channels (Engineering) - requested by kronosposeidon.

Oh, that's not how buildings fall!

Everybody knows that buildings just collapse straight down in a pile of dust!

i just watched this on "destroyed in seconds" not 10 minutes ago

Godzilla is just off camera, to the left.

^ Looks more like the work of these guys.

Yeah, cause everyone knows that every single building is designed in exactly the same way....

That's why you don't use fireworks to implode a building.

Yeah Jews have funny noses, French people surrender in every war and asians build shitty buildings. Fucking foreigners with their inferior everything.

I don't think the Philippines have ever had the Olympics...

yeah yeah I know Philippines, Japan, China, it's all the same difference.

PLEASE somebody tell me I wasn't the only one who noticed this video only because they mistook "Topples" in the title for "Topless"... yeah I know I'm pathetic.

Exactly! Buildings are designed to fall straight down in a pile of dust, if they're designed correctly. The one above was designed to fall over sideways.

Like WTC 1, WTC 2, and WTC 7 - coincidentally enough the only three concrete and steel structures to ever have collapsed like that.

And all on the same day!

Made in America, baby!

Ancient dupe I believe the fell prey the one of the Great Asian YT Purges. It was an apt building that people notices was tilting very dangerously, so the all waited for a few hours until it tipped over.

Question for you:

Why the fuck would they bother to make all the calculations and planning necessary to fell just those three buildings, instead of letting them fuck everything else up on their way down?

Why MG?

Are you kidding ?
Sound structural engineering takes into account worst-case scenarios.
You don't want a fucking sky-scraper coming down sideways in the middle of dense down-town Manhattan.

Its public domain, go look for yourself, the WTC complex was designed to fall in on itself in the event of a catastrophic failure, to prevent what happened in this video from occuring on a MUCH LARGER SCALE.

You freaking 9/11 truthers need to get a goddamn education. Armchair bandits with fallacious logic.

For some reason the tags on this just make me laugh. I.E:

Asia! WTF? Engineering!!!

I loved the collective "Ohhhhhhhh!!!"

I was going to reply much in the same way, only by saying that I thought it was in fact a stroke of genius engineering that the WTC towers fell in place instead of coming down domino style all over downtown Manhattan. In fact, I think Al-Qaeda thought for sure that the towers would topple over easily if smashed on one of their sides with enough force. But of course you don't build a couple of 400+ meters high towers out of popsicle sticks. If they knew the towers would tend to fall in on themselves, they would have tried to crash the planes on the lower levels - the way you fell a tree - to at the very least prevent the largest number of persons from evacuating (better yet: one plane on the lower levels, then some time later one on the upper levels to give it a push over). Guess they should have hired structural engineers instead of airliner pilots!

The WTC was designed by an asian, which is obviously why the towers collapsed.
