Around 100kg of explosives are not enough to destroy the huge silo as it is left leaning to one side in need of a helping push.
Demolition experts have been left red-faced after a 4,000-ton building was left leaning to one side instead of toppling down as planned.
The team had set off 100kg of explosives in a controlled explosion but they were not enough to destroy the silo in Redbank, southwest of Brisbane.
For around 40 minutes, the structure resembled the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy as it stood at an angle.
In the end, an excavator was used to push the building the rest of the way over.
The half-century-old silo - once a barley storage facility for a beer brewer - was soon reduced to rubble.
