Related: About this forumSilo demolition in Denmark goes wrong and crushes cultural centre
A Danish cultural centre has been damaged after a 53-metre high silo fell the wrong way while being demolished.
In video of the explosion in the town of Vordingborg, onlookers cheer the detonation, but then watch in astonishment as the tower toppled towards the waterfront library and music school.
No one was injured in the accident.
Denmarks explosives association said preparations for the demolition seemed to be correct, Danish newspaper BT reported.
