How China demolished a 118-meter building in less than 15 seconds
On a beautiful Sunday morning in Xi’an, a city in the
northwest China’s Shaanxi Province, something incredible was about to
happen, a 118-meter building was about to be demolished. The building
had 26 floors that was later reduced to zero in just 13 seconds.
“The operation worked quite well. For one thing the building
collapsed in the correct direction and for another thing it fell down at
a low height and was fully exploded. Both the noise and trembling of
the demolition were under controllable range,” according to a statement by demolition expert Zhao Fuxin.
“A bar is located only seven meters away from the building and it hadn’t been affected at all. There wasn’t even a piece of stone dropping on the bar. I’m quite satisfied with the operation. It worked well,”
