"You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!"
 

A group of German bank robbers got a chance to say that classic line from The Italian Job recently, when they slightly overestimated the amount of explosive needed.

They placed the explosive on the doors, thinking it would be enough to blow the doors in. They then detonated the explosive, and it demolished the bank and damaged several nearby buildings and vehicles..

Reminds me of another story either early this year or late last in which they blew up a cash dispensor only to have the building partly collapse and burying at least one of the robbers in the rubble.. I'll try to find the story
