Demolition is the science and engineering in safely and efficiently tearing down buildings and other structures.
Demolition is different from deconstruction, this involves taking a building apart while carefully preserving valuable elements for reuse purposes.
Large buildings, tall chimneys, bridges, and increasingly some smaller structures may be destroyed by building implosion using explosives.
