There are plenty of videos of buildings being spectacularly demolished by intricately placed charges, this is not one of those.
It appears that the charges on one side of the building failed to fire properly, causing the building to roll over, ending up on its roof. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries and surrounding buildings seemed not to suffer any damage. It could have turned out much, much worse.
At least that was one building in Turkey that looked like it was pretty damn earthquake proof…
