Oops!

My engineering background may be responsible for my interest in videos of building demolitions. Recently, something went wrong during the demolition of a building in Cankiri, Turkey. Instead of collapsing, the building turned upside down.

One U.S. commentator noted that the structure had housed a flour factory, and speculated they'd now use the building to bake upside down cakes. Actually, reports indicated the building was being torn down to make way for a shopping center.
