i once read an article, but have never been able to find it.... It stated something like this: Post 1950 (or whatever the year was), all skyscrapers in NYC were equipped with a 'self desstruct' button.  This was installed to be able to implode your building if it had taken on severe damage, all while causing minimal damage and interruption to the neighboring buildings. Now, is it true?  Hard to say, unless you own an NYC skyscraper - which I assume no one using Voat does. But god damn if it doesn't make a SHIT ton of sense, from an insurance standpoint, and fuck sake if those 'collapses' didn't look like controlled implosions - even from day 1!!
