WHAT IS THE COOLEST BUILDING IMPLOSION YOU HAVE EVER SEEN?


[+] ballot by forgetmenot
ACTIVE Tue Mar 13, 07 - Wed Mar 12, 08

Last night I to witnessed the implosion of the Stardust Hotel. I got to the designated viewing area about 30 minutes before implosion. The “Strip” for several miles was closed off to traffic. I got to be closest to it behind police barricades and had an unobstructed view.

Opened in 1958, imploded in 2007, only 49 years old; Las Vegas does not let their buildings get very old. This was the tallest building (32 stories) imploded in Las Vegas.

THE IMPLOSION.
Las Vegas does it dramatically. First, the hotel was completely surrounded by 30 story high streams of water from fire trucks. This water was lit up with multi colored searchlights. Then there was a gigantic fireworks show from the roof, bigger than anything I have ever seen. This was followed by huge fireworks extravaganzas on each of the 32 floors of the hotel. Finally, a fireworks show on the outside of the building spelled out 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 1, 0, and then the hotel was decimated deafeningly floor by floor with explosives until it sunk to the earth like a sand castle.

Then people ran as fast as they could to get into their cars before the dust cloud hit them.

Let me tell you about this one I saw...
I have never witnessed a building implosion.
Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh

If Ken were here, he'd tell us about some, in great detail. Though I doubt he'd call them cool.

i just saw the video, and tha was not an implosion, it was a regular explosive demolition where they make it collapse into an empty space rather than into itself. it falls over, raher than in on itself. it's much easier that way, implosions are for when they can't risk surrounding buildings.
