i saw this yesterday...my first thought was: "if someone set out to do this on purpose (flip a building over), it would be impossible"... that's some good concrete work!
it is kind of crazy how it stayed together for the most part, mid flip... Reminds me of that one from a month or two ago where the bldg in China completely tipped over
Sumbuddy dint no whut they was doin. If there were enough transverse partitions of concrete in that structure, and they weren't demo'ed first, this is what I would expect to happen. . .wouldn't you ?

Cankiri was better: a full 180. Go, Turkey !
building flip
that building must have been designed to last... not like the toothpick shit we build today!
"I've fallen -- and I can't get up !" Funny that both demos were adjacent to very deep excavations ?
