Another Leaning Tower

On Wednesday 30th December 2009, an attempt was made to blow up the double towers of a 22 storey apartment block in the city of Liuzhou in southern China.

The western tower was successfully demolished but the eastern tower remained obstinately standing at a precarious angle.

The eastern tower was brought to the ground on the 8th January 2010 by breaking away the lower part of the structure and allowing it to collapse.
