What made the building blow up?? :?

A bomb... Or artillery... The first shot into the left side of the building looked like a low angle shot, so I'd say a tank or something, but I dunno. The last one took the roof out and looked like a fairly high angle shot....
EDIT: There's a tank on the mid lefthand side so the first shot had to be from there... still working on the second one.
It looks like the first rounds, prolly 50cal, were from the tank/APC in the lower, more mid part of the screen.

No, I'm just saying the little fag ain't worth the bullet to shoot him with, so we drop a $10K+ bomb on him!
I don't think that was a mortor, but that would have been just as effective
It had to be a bomb - too much fire for a tank shell, and the fire was going at a downward angle, as well as the shockwave being circular around the building.

Yeah, I don't have any personal experience with mortars or artillery, but I would assume they'd need at least a gauging shot or something, eh? First shot? I'm curious of the situation.

@ 00:03 5 shots fired from a large calibur machine gun from the nearest tank.
@ 00:28 a tank round fired from the tank nearest the building.
@ 00:45 a smart bomb from a drone.

Normally all they need is elevation, wind and range, and can get pretty close.
Either way, neither of those make those kinds of explosions or create that kind of a shockwave - it's gotta be a bomb - probably laser guided given the proximity of impact

these days they have UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) with hellfire missles on them...you can las a target with a remote designator, have the UAV designate, or also radar designated fired from Apaches. Cool shit, I got to see the first radar guided one fired in theater in kuwait, but at the time in 2k3 they were weighing in at $186,000 a pop (the laser designated ones are way cheaper). Sorry for the random trivia!
