You're doing it wrong !

Chinese demolition crew make a slight mistake and leave one building standing... well sort of...

Looks like they were being cheap with explosives. No where near enough on that building to bring it straight down (heck the one that toppled over was still mostly intact, and the leaning part was hardly damaged).

Demolition of a building is not an easy task. Demolition engineers spend weeks examining and preparing buildings. To be able to drop a building straight down is more art than science at times.
