Controlled Demolition of the 1515 South Flagler Tower in West Palm Beach
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010Controlled Demolition of the 1515 South Flagler Tower in West Palm Beach, Florida counts as one of the largest implosions carried out in the United States ever. The 1515 South Flagler Tower once served as a hotel but was damaged when several hurricanes struck Florida in 2004 and has been unoccupied since due to safety concerns. The 279 feet tall, 30 story building was taken down on Sunday with well executed controlled demolition while a large crowd of onlookers enjoyed the spectacle. The Advanced Explosives Demolition Team used up to 3,000 pounds of dynamite to implode the building and as you can see from the video, it went down smoothly.
