My 6 year old son built this structure with three supporting columns on the bottom. When time came to destroy it in a spectacular fashion, I suggested pulling out the middle column so that it would crash inward. He did just that, but it did not crash. I have no idea how it may be still standing, but photos prove that it did stand!
There are absolutely no hidden gimmicks, chewing gum secretly holding things together, etc.
