Some languages read from right to left. Maybe the original image was from one of those places.

No, don't be silly. It's a left to right timeline. They exploded that stack into existence. It's much quicker than building it brick by brick.

It's significantly more interesting while backwards, but why?

I'm pretty sure it is actually the fastest chimney construction ever!

See?! It even forms a dust cloud around the workers because they work so fast!

Not to be a know it all, but I believe that there is a chimney remolition. It’s where they implode one together.

Wait. No. It is a demolition. We’re just looking at it from behind.

Wow the whole tall thing just fell right down into its own footprint.

From the thumbnail I thought it was actually a row of chimneys gonna be dominoed over. Now I'm kinda disappointed...
