Just because demolition videos rock, today I'm bringing you the implosion of a 104-year-old bridge in Minneapolis.

It wouldn't happen to Brad Pitt, but the home of one of the child stars of Slumdog Millionaire has been demolished by authorities in Mumbai.

There are some football teams that, after a bad game, probably wish the ground would just open up and swallow them.

Well, last week in Indianapolis, the former home of the Indianapolis Colts did just that - imploding in just 25 seconds.

Demolition crews used 875 charges to blow the 24-year-old RCA Dome (pictured in its heyday) up to make way for an expanded convention centre.

Lucky for us, one of the locals caught all the action on camera. This is a particularly brilliant piece of cinematography. Oscars for the girl screaming "Oh my Gawd!" and the music towards the end.

Keeping with the theme of things going boom, a conman has been jailed after persuading a government to blow up its own police headquarters.

Ultra-slick Zheng Ze - with his cigars, eight sunglass-clad body guards and limousine - seemed like the perfect Hong Kong entrepreneur to officials in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia.

So much so they demolished a four-year-old building and another after he promised to build western China's tallest skyscraper - the 169m Golden Eagle International CBD Centre.

Unfortunately Ze was actually humble carpenter Wang Xiniu with six identities, six wives and six companies.

It wasn't until the demolition dust settled that the city learned the conman had earned £180m in development loans by pulling similar stunts elsewhere.

They also found his company Golden Eagle Developments, registered in Hong Kong, had less than £7,000 in assets and no staff.

He's since been sentenced to life in jail, explaining his philosophy: "Get in good with big leaders, hold up big banners, and make big money.

"My law is this: find out a leader's weak point, and I can unsettle a city."
