That is what happens when they don't use cascade charges....
Kick the feet out from under a building and it may not crumble, set up proper cascade charges and all you have it a pile of rubble....

I was looking for the right way to describe what they should've done!

I thought it seemed odd that there weren't sequenced charges at the higher levels (the cascade charges). Especially since this was clearly a reinforced concrete building...and in demolition, old concrete and rebar are not your friends.
