Hey guys,

I had the good fortune of being able to get front row "seats" at a local building implosion. Took plenty of photos and video and have dumped them to http://www.chksum.com

Here's the video from the site. I'm trying to get videos others have captured from different vantage points.

LOL, all those hi-speed DSLR clicks in the sound

Were those photographers actually watching?

I think they are prepping a building for that in my area. Maybe I should check the schedule so I can watch.

They really should've hired better help. Look at all that dust.

Awesome. I thought I was the only person that noticed that!

What a neat little pile it ended up being! I'd never thought about it before, but it's remarkable how the charges are small enough that you can hardly see anything happening behind that black shielding...

Holy crap I was in the galleria area sleeping in a hotel that morning LOL. How did I miss that?

If you guys like explosions and implosions, maybe ya'll should check out The Detonators on the Discovery channel. Looks pretty cool!

Were you at the Hilton, Sheraton, Intercontinental? Were you at least woken up by the blast?
