You cannot mine a whole level, because you cannot mine the edge of the map. However, if you channel the side, yeah, you can make the whole map collapse. You can even have your whole fortress living in a floting mountain supported by a single support and watch it die once a building destroyer come your way.

Unfortunately, in 2010, Toady decided to make building destroyers smart enough to ignore supports.

Which is so very disappointing.

I used to have an avatar, but I was told to remove it after it kept making people go insane.

That's what cages and minecart shotguns are for!  We don't need to control them.  We just need to aim them.
