**[Building implosion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_implosion#:~:text=In%20the%20controlled%20demolition%20industry,damage%20to%20its%20immediate%20surroundings.)** is the **deliberate placement of explosive material and timing of its explosion** in the controlled demolition business such that a structure falls on itself in a matter of seconds, limiting physical harm to its immediate surroundings.

Building implosion, which might take **months or years to complete using other means,** is most common in [**metropolitan**](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/39619/which-indian-metropolitan-city-has-become-the-first-one-to-get-a-floating-market) areas and frequently includes big landmark structures. The term 'implosion' is a misnomer when referring to the demolition of a structure. This was reported about the demolition of the 1515 Tower in West Palm Beach, Florida. 'You utilize explosive materials in vital structural links to allow gravity to pull it down.'
