A Turkish demolition job...
http://video.msn.com/video.aspx?mkt=en-GB&...4d-356349b3ef23

The video shows clearly how NOT to prepare a building for demolition. The charges (I suppose some kind of TNT) were installed at the base of the building. The result was, of course, that it toppled! Normally, the charges would have been installed and wired throughout the whole building and detonated in short intervals from high to low levels. If they had done that, the building would have imploded normally. I suppose the engineers were no demolition experts...

Yeah, whoever they were they got it completely wrong. Trying to do it on the cheap perhaps...

World Trade Center controlled demolition conspiracy theories

I know someone who unlocks phones using a similar technique!

I've never come across a locked phone before... I recently unlocked our DVD player so it can now play all region DVD's.

The ones at Blokker come region-free...nothing to unlock!

Yeah I heard, but I wanted something more than just a player.

sorry everyone for diverting this topic onto dvd players and phones and stufffff.
my fault!

I love this video! Turn the volume UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did that with our DvD player, there's a website out there somewhere that gives you the details of how to unlock pretty much any type of machine.

With ours you just had to key in an incredibly long string of numbers with a remote control. Oddly, it didn't work with the supplied DvD remote, I had to use one of those universal remotes, which fortunately we already had.

On a not particularly related note, can anyone confirm or deny that you can buy simlock-free iPhones in France and Belgium? If so, I'm thinking of getting a couple for my boys for christmas.

Yes, I've kept the website in my favourites for future use.

I used the supplied remote control but there were a few notes on the website saying that you had to do it all fairly quickly otherwise it wouldn't work.
