Best laid plans

Hey everyone!

I appreciate the fact that we deal with some heavy issues on this website. And the past week has been especially somber with articles about gold mining, AIDS, and world poverty. (Yikes.)

So today I'd like to provide a link to something which has absolutely nothing to do with Guatemala, greed, sickness, or suffering.

It does, however, have to do with destruction.... kinda.

From the fantastic Boing-Boing website comes the following bit of hilarity:

Botched 200'-tall building demolition video

The demolition of a 200 foot building in Sioux Falls, SD didn't go so well today. Demolition experts blasted the bottom of the tower expecting it to tip over. Instead, the building sank into it's basement.

Here's the link to the video. (Make sure you have the audio turned up!)

Have a wonderful weekend, and don't forget to laugh.

Rob
