“Think ya used enough dynamite there, Butch? “
From Sioux Falls, SD:
The toppling of the Zip Feed tower failed Saturday, turning what was supposed to be a spectacle watched by thousands into a source of amusement for an entire city.
The 202-foot tower, the tallest building in the city and possibly the state, was scheduled to topple at 12:55 p.m. But after a loud blast it tilted east, dug itself into the ground and stuck.
[...]
He said there was nothing that could have been done to prevent the non-collapse; the concrete was apparently too old to maintain its integrity after the blast. Old concrete structures like the tower are “the toughest structures there are” to demolish with explosives, he said.
“The basement foundation and all that collapsed and didn’t allow it to push over, that was my fear.”
Enough dynamite? In this case, apparently not!
