Why is that obvious that a tower weighing hundreds of thousands of tons and falling from an average height of 680 feet wouldn't deliver enough energy to crush and flatten most of its content? Is it obvious that it would crush some smaller fraction of the material? What fraction would that be and how do you arrive at a reasonable estimate without calculating anything?
