DALLAS (CNN) – Texans have dubbed a high-rise office building the "Leaning Tower of Dallas" after it failed to come down during an implosion on Sunday. Each side of the 11-story building on the corner of North Central Expressway and Haskell Avenue came crashing down. But the center of the building refused to come down, and stayed standing at a slight angle. "You could see the building fall down and then that tower there just kind of stopped," one witness told CNN affiliate KTVT. A spokesperson for the demolition company, Lloyd D. Nabors Demolition, said the remaining structure poses no threat to surrounding buildings or pedestrians.
