"Now we just have to wait for months of recounts and 70 lawsuits before we can confirm that the building was demolished."

Maybe everything that dies someday comes back. <-- horrible foreshadowing.

Flagged as fantastic for the brilliant Springsteen reference!

I am constantly amazed and awed at the skill demolitions experts show in so neatly deconstructing something like that.

I mean we all watch these videos to see the moments when things go wrong, but it's fascinating to watch them go so smoothly.

This does not apply to whales, though. They don't deconstruct as neatly as a building.

I would love to see everything with his name on it torn down before he dies.

Whales are built proper. Trump's temple of loserdough? Not so much

I listened to that song and album so so much last year. Great to see that thing come down with such a satisfying crumple.

I thought chicken man got blown up in New Mexico by a bomb wired to an old man's bell.
