An ugly abandoned building near church has bothered us for years – such an eyesore. When we found out it was to be razed we planned to go watch. Then a friend proposed we camp on the church field for easy morning access to the spectacle (it was to be just after sunrise). We braved actual freezing temperatures (so, so cold!) but had a fun time of it and the implosion was as dramatic as we’d hoped.

The first charges are detonated; they were so loud!
How long does it take a 14+ story building to fall? Not as long as the shutter delay on my camera.
About this time we realized that the massive billows of smoky dust were headed our way. Quick! To the cars! (What must it have been like at Ground Zero on 9/11?!)
