Answer 1

You have to destroy the supports in a building in a particular way that makes it so one floor falls directly onto the one below it, and the process repeats until the whole thing has fallen in on itself. They use explosives timed just right to allow this to happen.

Modern buildings are designed to facilitate this. they collapse into themselves instead of falling over. Most of the time.
