Well, the White House has certainly looked better!
Exploding building: Sometimes buildings explode. It sucks, but what can ya do? There are any number of reasons why a building might blow up. I many cases some nasty little mad bomber might plant an explosive charge in a building, in which case... KA-BLOOEY! Other times, a building's structural integrity may be compromised due to external trauma, such as being hit by a giant meteor, or maybe Superman and General Zod decide to have a knuckle-duster in your backyard. And again... KA-BLOOEY! Of course if someone blows up your whole damn planet, such was the case when Grand Moff Tarkin fired a big-honkin' space gun at Alderaan in Star Wars, well then yes, all of the structures located on said planet would explode as well. It goes without saying. In speculative fiction, one of the more widely used reasons why a place might blow up is if it contains some highly unstable power source such as a nuclear generator. You know how this goes. Some underpaid lab technician isn't paying attention and the next thing you know, the power core overloads resulting in.... yup. You guessed it. KA-BLOOEY!
