Demolition gone wrong: China accidentally creates the leaning tower of Liuzhou


This may have happened a few years ago, but it's still worth sharing. Chinese demolition "experts" managed to implode a building and leave a structure we're more used to seeing in Italy.

The 22-storey tower block located in the city of Liuzhou split down the middle as it fell. The problem is, one of those halves decided not to fall over, leaving a leaning tower. The reason? The demolition company explained it as "technical reasons." They had fully intended for the building to split in half as it did, but both sections were meant to collapse.
