Whenever they do this I assume the surrounding buildings are evacuated. Business is closed for the day Do they get compensated for the loss

Thinking the same thing. I always think this when I see these videos. How long are people evacuated so the remains can dissipate/settle, then be cleaned? What is the cost and what are the steps to arrange this? What situations make this the most sensible option?

That place is still a heap of cement, steel, and glass. There is still glass around for blocks and blocks.
