A landmark bridge and a tower block next to it came crashing down in China in a spectacular simultaneous demolition. The two structures were dynamited in Renhuai city, in China's southern Guizhou province, to make way for further development in the town. Construction on the Maotai Bridge originally started in December 1988 but it collapsed in 1990. Its reconstruction started in October 1992 and was completed two years later.
