Don't you hate when the building doesn't go boom?

I thought this was a funny video. They tried to demolish a building in Sioux Falls, SD, and it didn't quite go as planned. Check it out. It's cool.

King Kong : A serious question

I've seen the trailer for the new King Kong movie coming out December 14th I think. It looks good. But a question occured to me. If you found an island that had a giant ape, and dinosaurs on it; and could only bring back one animal; why would you bring back the ape instead of the dinosaur?

Think about it. Apes exist now. So King Kong is really just a bigger version of something that already exists. Impressive yes, but not history changing. He could just have a hormone problem for all we know. But a dinosaur; they don't exist anymore. So if you found one, like the T-rex kong fights in the trailer, wouldn't it be a more earth-shaking event to bring back the dinosaur? Finding something that isn't supposed to exist anymore, would be much more impressive than finding a bigger version of something we've already seen. Just my thoughts.
