I wonder what the criteria is for imploding a building or taking it down like this. Interesting photos - thanks for sharing.

Wow! This is really kind of funny. I had walked down the Wycliff closed bridge to get some downtown shots today and also some of the flooded Trinity over the road/bridge. As I left I noticed this building and decided to stop for some shots. I was there around 11:30am.

Anyway, it looked kind of eerie to me. Reminds you of devastation for sure.

Here is my shot.
