Re: low-impact skyscraper demolition.

This is pretty cool: »www.pinktentacle.com/2008/07/vid···olition/

Unlike conventional demolition that begins at the top of the building, Kajima’s new method starts on the bottom floor, where the support columns are cut and replaced with giant computer-controlled jacks. Once the floor is demolished and the debris removed, the entire building is lowered and work begins on the next floor. The process is repeated for each floor until the entire building is gone.

OK, now that is pretty cool...
