It says steel framed, but you're going to rely on the title of the video instead of actually looking at the content? The building is obviously made of concrete. If you have any experience of working with concrete, you would know that it is strengthened with things like rebar, and how completely different this is from the steel frame construction of something like the WTC. This is why you can see pieces of rebar sticking out of the concrete when the structure comes to rest, upside down.

But hey, perhaps you don't have any experience of building with concrete, and it's not obvious. OK! Let's see if we can find some other source of information besides visual observation. Here is an original news report about the demolition of this building: http://www.trt.net.tr/haber/HaberDetay.aspx?HaberKodu=3b45c655-a6ba-4ce2-b01d-d82eb51f8a42

Unfortunately, it's in Turkish. So we'll use google translate... http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http://www.trt.net.tr/haber/HaberDetay.aspx%3FHaberKodu%3D3b45c655-a6ba-4ce2-b01d-d82eb51f8a42&sl=tr&tl=en&history_state0=

It's kinda mangled, but you'll notice the word 'concrete' features in both the headline and the opening paragraph.

The good news is that this incident, which took place in early August, was widely reported, for example: http://www2.nbc13.com/vtm/news/local/article/video_building_demo_goes_wrong_and_causes_building_to_flip_instead_of_crumb/85938/

So now you have enough detail to research it yourself. Please find me some documentation of this building being steel-framed rather than made out of concrete.
