Whatever; we prefer the explosions

A Japanese construction firm has a new way to demolish old buildings. They start at the bottom. No, really. They do it a floor at a time, and then lower the remaining floors with huge jacks that replace the support columns. Lather, rinse, repeat. It's apparently much more cost effective, and makes much less of a mess. There's video.

But, as we noted: no boom. We like boom.
