I did learn one thing in this thread at least.
I thought that they needed a lot of special tricks to make a building fall straight down in demolition, not thinking of the huge lateral forces it would require to make something so massive move off its base. While we think of these buildings as solid structures, as if they were a bar of stone, its better to think of them more like sandcastles, unable to support itself in any direction but straight down.
