You mean there's another way to do it?!
That's from WBTV-TV 3 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Tip o' the hat to Mark Childrey for finding this :-)

Building does somersault during demolition attempt
From Turkey comes this awesome footage of a flour factory, built in 1928, being imploded. Or it was supposed to implode anyway. Instead the support on one side of the base was destroyed, causing the entire building to tumble over "like a toy house".
Watch it below folks. This simply must be seen to be believed...
Look on the bright side: those wacky Turks have brought a whole new unprecedented scale to the old game of dominoes! :-P

Man charged $23,148,855,308,184,500.00 for pack of cigarettes
Josh Muszynski of Manchester, New Hampshire went to the local convenience store and bought a pack of Camel cigarettes. He put the purchase on his debit card. And then when he got home found out that he had been charged more than TWENTY THREE QUADRILLION DOLLARS for his smokes.
Turns out to have been a programming error on the part of Visa, and apparently it's hit a number of its cardholders. Visa and his bank quickly resolved the issue for Muszynski, and he was no longer stuck with a tab that was more than 2007 times the current national debt.
But hey, as bad as inflation is getting, it's just a matter of time before all our purchases are this astronomical! :-P
