first.
You fail.
Wrong.
Not at all.
wow
*kicks Alice in the twat
unnecessarily rude…
Nah, he failed and just kicked this chick/dude.

Erm…nesting difficulties, dilly?
Oh crap. Yup…nesting difficulties.
Did someone reply to their own moderated comment?
I’ve got the same post awaiting moderation and mine ALWAYS get eaten so I doubled my fun…but where did I nest wrong?
Now your “innocent” posts are getting moderated. At least we know mine of the other day were pure.
I believe their program needs tweaking.
Hi puppy! And they seem to especially hate when you try to link to another fail. Sheesh.
Hello Dilly of 9:52 pm. Perhaps they figure that it is too late in the year for nesting.
Oh, dear. I really did break the internet.
Go up the page a bit and reply to Qwaz’s “That’d be a hard one” post. You’ll feel better about the whole breaking-the-Internet thing.
*Isn’t sure how to respond, figures he’ll say the first thing in mind.*
I accidentied the internet.
Oh ho. A confession now is it. Did you do it before or after you copped the copper clappers?
Concurrent.
(Oh, this will never link up to its proper place.)
Thank you MRN ♂. I think that the Moderation program is in need of work anywho. It was giving me fits the other day. I shall just keep repeating to myself: Computers are our friends and not out to drive us insane.
Why is it broken at the bottom of this fail and yet still nesting up top?
The extras, Dilly, are just for screwing around with.
I’m scared…
*screws around* *feels a little better*
Can the screws fix the thread? (I love hardware humor)
It all hinges on what we do next…
I’ll try to answer coyote’s question, although who knows where it will appear:
Someone replied to their own “awaiting moderation” post, which seems to baffle the nesting logic (If you’re the computer system, do you link to a post that may never appear? Something like that seems to test the limits of the program’s logic – never mind asking it if the universe curves convex or concave or some such complicated issue). Anyway, the posts above the disputed awaiting-moderation posts are unaffected by this dilemma, so they continue to nest as God and WordPress intended.
It was me, I replied to my post. I completely forgot Failblog BREAKS THE INTERNET IF YOU TRY TO LINK TO ANOTHER DAMN FAIL. FROM FAILBLOG. THEIR OWN FAIL. So I promise I won’t do it again, and nesting may return.
Crap. Now mine won’t nest.
Assembly Instructions:
1) If it is not already attached, paste this comment onto comment number 549409.
2) Paste comment assembly 548409 onto Dilly comment 548206.
3) Ache with laughter induced from humorous wit.
Note: Paint before assembly. Do not inhale adhesive fumes.
My cyan is all dried up!
*cries*
Awwww, I like the fumes.
Hey, why do I have two extra screws left over?!
did he die?
I believe so.
Honestly, this looks suspiciously like a model building crashing….though the dust seems realistic enough.
Wait, why isn’t my picture showing? …
nah man that plant is legit.
This is completely real. It happened in my country (Turkey). There were just a few meters between the rolling building and the one standing next to it when it came to a stop.
well, they don’t build em like they used to
I’m just amazed that the building being taken down didn’t continue rolling and ending up on its side (after doing a 270 degree roll)
The question is: are you ten feet tall?
Funny, Saturday night I went to a costumed birthday party, Alice in Wonderland was the theme. The 1950′s movie.
Did anyone, *Ahem* Free their hair?
Free your mind and the rest will follow
My comment is awaiting moderation for some reason. I did not use the i word. Hmmm. I don’t know if any one did. I left comparatively early. 1 am.
What the ſuck is the “i” word? “imbecile”?
Why would I have been talking about you?
snork!
congrats!!!!
Hey! Thanks!
Yay, qwaz! Is this your FISRT powering?
No, you actually do fail by participating in a dumb, insolent, ignorant practice for lifeless retards.
Posting comments on blogs?
Zing!
♫ Hey! dont come around here no more. ♫
Every “first” is a fail.
Your mother is soooo ashamed.
Idiots, demo crews think that building will just crumble because of how the twin towers fell, YOU NEED THERMITE TO VAPORIZE A BUILDING DUDE
not always… buildings made in China need only three little pigs to blow hard.
reference fail. you only need a big bad wolf
nice try though
I hate to interject with logic and fact, since I know that neither truly apply to the interwebz anyway… but since I am here I might as well.
You don’t need thermite to drop a building, just well placed, appropriate charges. This was clearly not the case here, they somehow got it all off balance, perhaps that is the reason it was being demolished in the first place… but you never really NEED thermite, in most cases thermite is way excessive. (the stuff will burn straight through a tank!) Usually they use dynamite of some sort for concrete, and RDX-based explosives for steel.
SCIENCE!
Or they could’ve just doused it in jet fuel, and let it burn for a few hours. It would’ve crumbled neatly into its own footprint…
Hey, if it works for 3 buildings hit by 2 airplanes in NYC, why shouldn’t it work here??
Wow Alex, what a great idea. u should open up your own demolition company. Just imagine the savings you could offer…a little elevator ride up, dump a little jet engine fuel, ride back down, ignite, and boom. You wouldn’t even need any employees, you could do it all yourself.
Wow Alex!! A 9-11 conspiracy theorist on the INTERNET?? Oh god!!
true, thats why you need to go to college to be a demolition engineer. any retard can go out and use thermite to take down a building, but it would probably end up shooting straight up in the air and destroying property that shouldn’t be destroyed. the goal is to take town the building efficiently…
building fall down go boom…then roll over and go boom…then was upsidedown and…. kinda sorta stayed in one piece…
Hahaha I liked the bit where the building in the middle rolled upside down!
you know, if you really say first, it just shows how much life you do not have.
best fail ever!

Funny, I saw this one on the morning news.
*wheels in the confetti cannon*
*neglects to check it again*
*fires across room*
Congrats Qwaz!
I saw it on the MSN homepage.
i just peeke outside my window. first, there was a guy screaming, then there was sky and clouds right outside, and then there was a building there, but it was upside down…
got in himmel! forgot to change my stupid name… now everyone will laugh at my lame name on the previous comment!
*walks of to be mad in a corner*
*points at DDOES name on previous comment*
*laughs*
Something Wicked This Way peeke? *runs*
*piques dilly*
Okay, I KNOW I LOGGED OUT THAT TIME!!!
Grrrrrrrrrrr.
*poke!*
You know you’ll pay for that, right?
:[
Dayum! That’s serious!
>:[
Same here.
*Flies through air, dropping confetti as he goes*
I was hoping I would get a good one like this.
*Shakes off confetti*
Congrats Qwaz!
*snags Qwaz on a streamer, gives him a high five*
Congrats, Qwaz! Your first “powered by”!
*pops open champagne*
*pops open some sparkling apple cider for Qwaz, who isn’t old enough to drink yet*
Woohoo!
I’ve already done a headstand today.
*pinches nose closed with fingers…sips*
*watches as bubbles come out the Admiral’s ears*
*giggles*
*drinks Quaz’s portion*
WOOHOO QWAZ!
Wait. “Not old enough to drink”? How’d I miss that? Woah.
You better get there fast, WN’s guzzling my share. ^
Congrats Qwaz!
Woot Woot Quaz!! Congrats!!
Pardon me, what is a “powered by”?
(Room goes silent as everyone’s noob alarms explode, injuring them to various degrees)
Toward the end of the video there is a comment flashed that “powers” the fail. You have to be quick to pause.
Thnx, does that mean he submitted it? I submitted this clip, but I guessed a few others might have as well.
I don’t think so. I think it’s just a comment that describes the action of the video.
And this is another video that Judy’s “missed it by that much” would have worked for.
Normally, the submitter is listed below the video, but not this time. Maybe because they were having problems today.
Heh, how many times do you think Judy’s post will Power a video?
I happen to know for a fact that Fluffy submitted this vid as well…! Maybe they just had too many submitters to list a single name under it.
Considering the many topics it could be applied to… they could attach it to almost ALL of the videos and it would work.
(demolition team on nearby building)
Missed it by that much!
Yah…if I recall correctly, he’s something like 14 years old.
*pours sparkling apple cider*
*looks around for Bearly*
*quickly guzzles champagne*
WHAT?!?! Another prodigy in our midst?
It always weirds me out to learn stuff like that. I always assumed he was 20′s or maybe even 30′s.
Say… you don’t really want ALL that champagne, do you?
*hopeful*
Erm…
*hides empty bottle behind back*
Gottagobye!
*zing!*
*Produces two more bottles*
It’s okay, I hid a couple. They’re chilled!
*yoink!*
I’ll share, I promise!
I know I’m not supposed to talk on the regulars’ posts, but:
I think this really good for Qwaz. I saw that, and it’s pretty cool.
(You’re 14?)
I fear you misspelled “troll”. Ex: … not supposed to troll on the regulars’ posts …
*facepalms*
Sorry about pouting.
Here are couple tips, Captain.
.
~~ Avoid using “I”.
~~ Make most posts that refer to the fail.
~~ When you do comment on posts that others have made, direct the comment more to their content than to their author.
~~ And avoid using “I”.
… and, you’re right, Qwaz did pretty cool.
… also, never get involved in a land war in Asia, and don’t go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.
Uh, General, The entire army is made up of Giant Mecha Fighting Robots. I suppose for demolition crews, they are willing to use Turkey as an invasion point, leaving everything destroyed in their wake.
*administers iocane*
I’m getting sleepy…
*facepalm*
You can’t expect the poor guy knows he’s been hit with some Australian Awesome.
Yeah, that place IS entirely peopled with criminals.
tragically, some have a built-in immunity to awesome.
What is Australian Awesome? Seriously.
Alright. Here it is.
There’s no such thing as Australian Awesome.
Liar! It’s a steak sauce!
My turn. *facepalm*
It was a valiant effort.
Oh, what I wouldn’t give for a holocaust cloak.
*snork*
Want I should jog his memory…?
Tear his arms off.
When I was your age, blogs were called “books”.
I want to go home so I can watch it, damn work filters! this one sounds funny
Me, too! I was able to see the Viddler stuff at first, but work apparently caught on. *sniff*
Congratulations, Qwaz!
Oh, phooooooooo!
*shakes fist at filters*
Nice job Qwaz!
Grats Quaz, well done mate.
2nd.
DAMN. I was just having my sleep
Hey, Qwaz! Nice job!
*makes with the confetti throwin’*
*adds to the confetti throwin’*
*wheels in bubble machine*
*bubbles*
*clappers*
Are those copper clappers?
Kinda creepy copper clappers, but clear and concise certainly!
Clean copper clappers.
Hey! Somebody copped the clean copper clappers from Clyde’s closet.
Clyde is gonna be PISSED.
I’ll clobber him!
Oo. If we get Coppola to film it, we’ll have a copper clapper hit!
Speaking of which. Waaaayyyy back on the day I first got here, Sorry for clobbering you with a rod of some sort.
*Is also sorry for breaking “C” Run*

That is all.

*throws in self*
Oops, you said confetti.
Woohoo for Qwaz!
Now we be jammin’!
Yeah, let’s raze the roof!
Well, that IS the way we roll.
For my own edifice-cation…

What, no video?
I want my great-grandchildren to see this one day! Want ‘em to see that their great-granny could wiggle with the best of them!
*whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*
I’ll be in my bunk.
I’ll be in my trailer.

FIRST!
I really hope I don’t end up shouting first if I AM a troll.
Timber!
*snork*
Avis will be so proud!
:mistergreen:
GRRRRRR!
*sigh*
At least mine matched
Awww! *squeeze!*
not second!
The real estate market is turning around.
It’s practically flipped a 180!
Penthouse apartments are now dirt cheap.
And getting in on the ground floor finally pays off!
I don’t know, I’d be worried about ending up upside-down on my mortgage.
Basement with a view!
Maybe you can find a building that you could flip for a profit.
They’re just doing some spring cleaning by getting the dust under the carpet.
*CARPET CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS*
*Step 1: Invert carpet*
Cleaning moron 1: Hey, how do we do that? It’s attached to the floor!
Cleaning moron 2: I have an idea …
By low and end up selling high.
*adds “u” into above post.
For awhile, it was so bad they didn’t know which way was up!
Roll over!
Good building, good!
that sure is high-quality concrete!
They’re gonna have to do better than that
♫ She’s a brick…house! ♫♪
(damn, I’m old)
1st
we suck at firsting
But you’re first at sucking.
*claps*
Well done sir!
We suck while fisting. But we’re a weird couple anyway. ^^
Personally, I think he blows.
That building blows and rolls!
ROFL!
LOL!
Dang I wish I could have seen that hahahaha
Hit play and you can.
leave play alone! becuse these play cant frigth back.
What the frigth? Becuse yourself.
Maybe he should recant.
He could write these play about it.
On the frigth playback we cant read his comment becuse of drop outs.
*de-cants his frigthful post*
Silly building, you can’t go upside down! You don’t even!
Holy Rollying Building!!!
NOT first!
1nd!
LAST!
ACTUALLY LAST!
Calm down, Dr. Harvey.
well, thanks fail for FINALLY showing up!! 2 hours late! like we didn’t have a whole nice event planned for you. ghaa! *storms off to get ice cream cake back out of freezer* if you have been here on time it wouldn’t be all melted…
It’s not the fail’s fault. It didn’t know any better!
ok, you’re probably right. sorry fail, thanks for getting here when you could, have some cake. Icecream cake for all!!!
Yay for cake!!
*noms*
Thanks abstract!
*squeezes both Chan and abstract*
… is it upside down scream cake? :surprised:
… i c i shore dint eek out my emotions good
Maybe some cake would fix that.
*hands fuzz some cake*
*takes a piece for herself*
There’s cake!
*noms hungrily*
I ate a good sized lunch, but for some reason I’m still hungry.
What is this “cake” you speak of? I feel lied to…
Allow me to convey my sincerest appreciation, Ms. Lurk. My psycho-emotional status and global sense of well-being has been markedly augmented and ameliorated by your consideration and confectionary attentions.
Just as I suspected. Cake fixes what ails you.
I must say I’ve never heard that kind of gracious elocution for receipt of confections.
.
“Thanks for the cake” gets the point across nicely!
Quite frankly I’m against people who give vent to their loquacity by extraneous bombastic circumlocution.
And I, frankly, must say that unless Brewski joins in what ales me, I’m gonna be tempted to fix him.
*drinks some Hair of the Dog’s Doggie Claws barleywine*
Sorry, that came across as quite rude, wasn’t meant that way.
*hands a pint of ale to Fuzz*
*admires Fuzz’s punning ability*
Bottoms up!
*clinks and drinks*
To me, it came across as “Yes, to iiympol foqweuux lpnformw is coxwfttq to my ppgqfffx hahnieefl xpdpess.”
*can’t follow this thread at all*
*ain’t so good with all this fancy book learnin’ words no how*
I’ll translate for you! Aja’s saying, Yes, the Olympic foie gras lifeform is coxswained to my pigfix hahnieefl xpdpess.”
And that’s a direct “.
No no, dilly…you mistranslated “coccyx wanes”. A very understandable mistake, tho.
Last time I trust Gibberish Translate™!
Oh, pigfix. Why didn’t he just say that?
I’m surprised I didn’t get moderated for using dirty words.
you bet! *squeeze back* I wish i did have some real cake to nom..
Me too! I realized I’m really hungry!
.
*eyes abstract*
hmm…
ooooh, you naughty devil!
*snork!*
I actually have to bake tonight. Another attorney with a birthday tomorrow. (I thought I just did this last week? How did I become the birthday baker?)
I picked up a caramel cake mix, and thought cream cheese frosting would be nice. Figure I’ll throw some nuts in the cake batter. Maybe chocolate chips, too!
Oooooohhh! That sounds lovely! My birthday is in January by the way!
*collapses in a puddle of drool and unfulfilled cake desires*
Sorry, toots, cake’s not done yet.
*slips Dragon last banana nut muffin from last night w/schmear of cream cheese*
Hope that helps!
…*nom*
*revives a little*
*nomnomnom*
*perks up considerably*
*OMNOMNOMNOM!*
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Thanks, sweets. *hug*
*hugs back*
AVIS! Any other suggestions to “kick up” this boxed cake mix?
(January what?)
January 2th.
I like the cream cheese icing idea, and the rest as well. Maybe a carmel sauce “drizzle” over the top in swirly pattern? You could use chocolate sauce as well/instead.
Oh! I like that! I have some caramel sauce in the fridge! Thanks!
Happy to help! Be warned though, if you start making cakes that get fancy, you’ll be making cakes for EVERYONE!! I learned this with salads. Yes, salads.
MMmmmm….! I always make the salads for get-togethers. My salads always have about a gazillion ingredients, and they are YUMMY!
My favorite salad involves grilled turkey or chicken, wild rice, grape halves, toasted cashews, sour cream, ranch dressing, lemon…mmmmmmmmmm.
Oops – - just got done. Not only did I drizzle caramel sauce, I also cross-drizzled it with chocolate, and tossed some chopped nuts on top.
Looks like I’ll be baking for every birthday.
Oh, Dragon – - could I have that recipe with the exact amounts? That sounds great!!!
You will forever be known as “The Cake Lady”. It’s not the worst thing.
Also? Truffled popcorn? Is AWESOME!
Ummmm…recipe??
…Exact amounts?
*scratches head in puzzlement*
I know not these things you speak of. I tend to just throw things together…I’m not much for measuring. So…um…basically, you throw a bunch of shredded grilled turkey or chicken and wild rice together, toast a handful of cashews and pine nuts and throw that in as well, cut as many grapes as you like into halves…toss ‘em in. Then make a dressing of sour cream, ranch dressing, mayo, lemon (a couple of good squeezes should do it) and freshly cut flat-leaf parsley. Mix in the dressing (not too much, though…you don’t want it to be gloopy), chill for about an hour and serve! Ta-dah!
Hehe, I’ve never made the same salad twice.
You could even put tomatoes in it, if you like.
Thanks, DW! Do you have a name for it? Or, when I serve it, shall I just call it “Dragon salad”?
Hee…!
I call it “Wild Turkey Surprise.”
Said in my best Tasmanian Devil voice, of course.
I take it you are supposed to drink bourbon while you are preparing it.
*SNORK!*
Hey, that sounds good – snork salad!
One of my friends in college had a football player roommate. One time Steve asked him what was his favorite vegetable. You guessed it: salad.
I really like the Cake Doctor recipes – you may like them too. My fave is her Butter Layer Cake with Sweet Lime Curd – so simple and refreshing.
Oh you poor thing, you have to work with them too?
Yes, I work for them, I feed them, I serve them.
I keep their computers and email running. They’re an unusual breed, aren’t they?
Indeed.
I missed squeezes!
*Squeezes Brewski*
There. Better.
Careful, Chan. He doesn’t have any pants on.
i.e., Hurry, Chan! Before he gets his pants back on!
*gulp*
The fail was late, again?
BREWSKI,
what did I tell you about using protection. The last thing we want is some basterized fail running a muck.
Don’t look at me! Go find LCB.
Ew, muck.
yeah, watch your step — if your moccasin gets a funny infection innuit you’ll need to take amok’s a’sillyin’
*sins*
*runs to muck your “inn”*
remind me to give you what for, fair and square, once I get a round tuit
How come i have an account here but can’t post comments with it?
Because you touch yourself at ni…
Oh, Dr. Palandjian, I just can’t say that to you, you’re such a nice lady.
My dental hygienist is cute. Every time I visit, I eat a whole package of Oreo cookies while I’m in the waiting room.
*SNORKROFFLEGASP*
What did I say about this fail being flooded by trolls?
*finds it amusing that it’s powered by the one who thought we wouldn’t get another one today*
Interesting how that all works out.
Also interesting that most powered by’s are from pun runs.
And if we’re really lucky they may even gift us with a bonus fail!
I won’t blasphemize that!
How about blasphemizeratterattatingishitizing it?
that does sound better
Do what now?
Who said what in the where now?
You. Here. Now.
*squeezes*
*crosses fingers, eyes, toes, legs, arms…*
*pulls out the pry bar*
Looks like we have another one.
There is precedent.
*tries to un-pretzel Ms B*
We have a precedent?? Who got elected? How did I miss that?
:p
The other day my 3-year-old put his feet up by his ears, wrapped his arms around his legs and said, “Look, mom! I’m a pretzel!”
Sorry, I just like to share their funny moments with the world.
Share all you want, sweetie!
I love real-life stories of all stripes, so don’t feel shy on my account!
I once saw a zebra walk into a bar.
Vertical or horizontal? The bar that is.
*rimshot*
*checks Brewski’s account*
No, there’s no shyness here.
*gives him back his underwear*
*Points & Laughs at MsB’s kid*
He’s funny!
*points and laughs at Jenny’s kid*
So is yours!
*points and laughs at her own kid*
Wait, what?
*deep, growly voice*
Lollipop! Lollipop!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
Here, laugh at someone else’s kid. Totally work safe.
It’s a 5 year old singing Johnny Cash. Ever notice how many “R”s are in Folsom Prison Blues?
*ahem* clickie
Even if you can’t see it, listen. By the way, the kid is also playing the guitar!
I have a hard time believing that angelic cherub shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.
That would be “Weno”!
*snork!*
I don’t doubt she could, did you see the look in her eyes?
Thinks both kids are funny, Jenny, always wear your seat belt ok. Or was that yours Ms B?
try the downward demolition building rolling over dog, Ms B
We must give thanks to the magical leopluradon!
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
*I wonder if that is enough?*
*Skreeee!*
Looks like they made some last-minute alterations.
… examined in a rotating view.
That’s what he gets for blaspheming…is that even a word?
We’ll make it a word.
‘Tis!
aye, it is a flood. *puts on hip-waders*
pop goes the weasel
I believe “We all fall down” is in another nursery rhyme.
I heard that one was about black death.
Nothing like roughly 40 Million people dying to put your child in a peaceful sleep.
How about “if I die before I wake”?
The ax murderer in the child’s closet loves that one.
Actually, it appears the ring around the rosies rhyme does not in fact refer to the Bubonic Plague — there are no recorded examples of it in collections of nursery rhymes until the late 19th century, several centuries after the events of the Plague(s). Clickie for Snopes’ analysis.
That darn Snopes. Ruinin many a person’s fun.
You know Mikey’s alive, right?
WTF is going on!!? I’ve tried 3 times to post something for Fluffy and Moomin, and it’s gotten eaten every time!! GGGRRRR!!!
Hey, it moderated one of mine and I can’t figure out why!
I blame the trolls. Sowwy…I forgot to set the troll-traps last night.
I blame Arthur.
We all pretty much blame Arthur, but he’s a hell of a guy nonetheless.
Long-standing joke, WN…I absolutely adore Arthur.
It’s always Arthur’s fault.
Where’s he been, anyway? I can’t recall seeing Arthur for … wow, at least a week, I think.
He’s on vacation, though he did pop into the early fail this morning. I managed to get a *squeeze* in before bed!
I tried, too, but I think I missed him by a couple of minutes.
Well, phoo.
If you see him again on the early fail tomorrow, give him the finger for me. He’ll know which finger!
Bwuaahahahahahaa….you bet, sweet stuff.
He said on an earlier fail today that he’s been traveling, and that he won’t be back for another week.
Arthur, it’s all your fault I got a nasty intestinal bug last week!! And that chip in my car windscreen/shield!
I’m sure it’s his fault that my toilet overflowed the other day. It had his name all over it.
♫ Blame Arthur Eld
Blame Arthur Eld ♫
OK, 6th try… maybe they have a filter in place: In the last fail, I called “funnyboi” a troll, but I think I was thinking of somebody with a similar name. Probably “F-u-n-n-yguy”. The person hurled insults at all the regulars, then got banned. So apologies if I mistakenly called you or any respected failblog citizen a troll.
IT WORKED!!
MOOMIN, FLUFFY, UP THERE !!! ^^^
Oh, that one was awful. We had to ban him something like eight or ten times because he kept coming back.
*shudders*
He was the

What really impresses me is how well this building must have been put together in the first place.
Being an engineer, that was my first thought as well!
I’m NOT an engineer, and I was struck by that!

My fave was probably “High N Dry”, it was the most hard-core of their albums.

It’s a well done and surprisingly endearing documentary, about a true life “Spinal Tap” sort of band.
But, do their amps go to 11?
They’re one of mine, too. But they got old. Wait….so did I….I guess it’s all good then.
I’m thinking Jericho, even though the lyrics don’t quite match.
So then, explain to me what good having the building flip upside down does.
And whether or not it was part of the plan to have it almost take out the other building? I was hoping it would happen. Just *BLAM* into the side of the other building. That would have been quite the fail.

I’m no expert, but if you look at the initial state of the building, plus the conveniently placed pile of rubble next to it, there could only be one outcome.
It was on the Nightly News a few minutes ago. Happened in Turkey. Oops! Now they have to dismantle it by hand. Oh, darn.
Bric-a-brac, anyone?
It already had potential energy hanging like that, but pushing it from that side seemed give it enough kinetic energy to roll sideways. Including the fact that the ground was at a slope, it shouldn’t be too difficult for stupid demolition crew with no knowledge of 8th grade physics to topple a freakin’ building! It’s sort of like if you hang a brick slightly off of the edge of a slope, then push it over, then it rolls once or twice. What I was scared about is that it barely hit that other building!
I guess they thought the bonds in the metal would not be strong enough to handle the impact from the kinetic energy generated from the building toppling over.
upside down, boy you turn me in side out, round and round
nice earworm, d-maz
Whoever built that building deserves a medal for awesome engineering. There aren’t too many structures strong enough to just roll over like that and say intact.
I agree. This is an Original Builders WIN!

I was skimming through comments from todays fails, and I noticed Admirals upside down text. Going to the page source doesn’t tell me how to do it. Anyone want to enlighten me on how to do this? I’d be just as giddy as Neener learning a new HTML.

And I tip my hat to my tipster.
Thanks. I challenge anyone to get an upside-down comment as a “powered by” comment. Come to think of it, one would have been perfect for this fail. (Tho’ I’m glad Qwaz got it.)
That’d be a hard one. We’d have to designate an hour to upside- down talk a day to get one comment noticed.
Hmm. So nesting fails start here under my upside down proposition?
Yup. So I DID accidenty the internet.

*waves g’night to dilly*
Night Dilly. May pleasant dreams be your realm.
Can someone now tell me why this thread is nesting and not those above or below? *repeatedly bangs head on desk, gets headache, goes for aspirin*
It’s because Dilly had a comment in moderation and she replied to it. Then other people responded to THAT response. If you reply to a comment under moderation, none of the subsequent responses will nest. These responses are nesting because they weren’t moderated.
All comments: please return to your failsafe points.
This truly was a messed up fail: Almost two hours late and nesting issues? We can only hope it goes smoothly tommorrow.

Wow. That is a career-ending move if I ever saw one!
I do not believe that this was a demolition attempt. Not for a minute. So it doesnt constitute a “Demolition Fail”. You really ought to do some research as to what actually happened and what was intended to happen before you post it as a fail. Seriously. Demolitions involve explosive charges set throughout the building. I saw no explosions. I did, however, see the entire first couple of floors on one side of the building cut out and gutted; the building subsequently got knocked over either deliberately or accidentally. No one with half a brain would demolish a building like that. At least not in the western world.
I hereby deemeth that worthy of my 5.
i’d say buliding construction win, since its so damn bloody strong…..

That’s wrong on so many levels. The demolition crew must be a bunch of morons. It looks like the explosives were placed mainly on the side that fell. Still, the newer building tenants would have a nice surprise when they got home.
