1. The tower should've broken off and fell to the side. Nice pic. Kick.

2. The core was blown so it could fall straight down

3. How much of the top section extended beyond the ..
foundation of the tower before it completely separated and gravity brought straight down? What lateral force was there that was stronger than gravity?

Just curious how you view the physics of the situation.
