Disaster on the interview. Just watch and laugh.
Story update
(thanks to comments on reddit.com)
Story:
I built this tower because people everywhere were wondering what the next structure would be. I wanted to do one that was rather unique, and I had built this one at home, and it was a blast to do. Unlike the original Pisa tower which has mortar and the such this one relies only on gravity to keep the lean. It is made completely hollow just as the original one is.
It took about six days to construct because it collapsed seven times before finally perfecting the lean. It took approximately 80 sets of Jenga to build this tower.
It was demolished by stringing a wire through the bottom of it which was hidden out of view of the camera that was filming the event. When 'interviewer' Mike Roy stepped around it with his microphone cord the wire was pulled to make it collapse.

So incredibly fake.
Posted on February 16th, 2007 at 05:06such a lame publicity stunt. So fake.
Posted on February 16th, 2007 at 09:13Why would someone build such an amazing structure just to make a "fake" video? What makes you think this is fake?

Posted on February 16th, 2007 at 19:31Let's see if I can explain why this is fake. 1. "It was demolished by stringing a wire through the bottom of it which was hidden out of view of the camera that was filming the event." That means that there was a wire that demolished it, which was kept out of the camera view. This was intentional. 2. "When 'interviewer' Mike Roy stepped around it with his microphone cord the wire was pulled to make it collapse." When someone puts a word in scare quotes, that usually indicates that it's not to be taken seriously. It wasn't a real interview. I had to search really hard to find this information, though, and clearly it took a monumental effort to deconstruct it. That said, this stunt makes no sense.
