I remember seeing a live video at the time where firemen told people to stand back since it was coming down. It appeared to be a controlled demolition. The reason, as I understood it at the time, was that one of the tenants was the CIA, who didn't want random people to walk around and possibly find state secrets. I have no evidence to back up any of this.
