but one thing. How are they goign to take the cranes down once the tower is toppled off?
Usually, one of the tower cranes takes down the rest, then brings up a smaller crane. The smaller crane takes down the last tower crane then brings up a smaller crane.

This repeats until they have something small enough to take down in the freight elevators.

Tower One will have a permanently mounted crane on the roof to service the communications equipment and it might be used to take down one of the smaller cranes and save a few steps in the process.
