The BBC has the story.

If anybody feels some déjà vu after watching this, compare the way that this building fell with the 9/11 Twin Towers collapse. Even the BBC picks up the point.

It appears to have the hall-marks of a controlled demolition - a neat vertical collapse into its exact footprint. No ragged falling at one side, no asymmetry to speak of, in fact - seemingly not unbalanced in any way.

The second section indeed seemed to begin to topple sideways, but then corrected itself! How would that happen?
