English term or phrase: implode

אני מחפשת מילה אחת (?) בעברית שתתאים למשפט:
In 1998 they raised the bar, imploding two buildings in one hour.
המילה "פיצוץ" לא לגמרי מתארת את המצב מאחר שמדובר בפיצוץ או קריסה כלפי פנים.
תודה מראש!

disagree

TechWrite: not really, since it's not just collapsing. It is collapsing INWARDS. As much as exploding is outwards, which is obvious.

-> Asker is looking for one word, and מוטטו is one word...

agree

Ron Armon: I for one liked the use of מוטטו in this context. I'd use פוצצו ומוטטו or longer - פוצצו ומוטטו פנימה

agree

Shai Nave: I think that this is a valid suggestion. It is hard in Hebrew to refer to the inward part so מוטטו is quite valid in my opinion as on of the many option avilable.

-> Thanks Shai :-)

agree

sibsab: I associate with the term "collapsing building", that it collapses inward and not outward. So if only one word can be used for the translation, this is it
