Like a tree, a building will fall in the direction of the side where its support is removed. To get a building to fall straight down, engineers carefully place and time explosives to detonate the center columns first, or they detonate the outside edges to fall toward the center. According to the science site below, this feat requires such skill that only a handful of demolition companies in the world will attempt it!
