Implosion of Prudential Building in Houston

After waiting four long hours for the fog to lift, the Prudential Building came down to the cheers of thousands of onlookers.

Good sequence. Looks like it was designed to roll forward some as teh middle blew.

I want to know how long it takes the dust to settle, did it reach you, and did you protect your camera for that?

[mdparthum]

It took about four minutes for the dust to reach us. At first the wind kept blowing it North but then shifted to the West and got us. Camera was covered by that time.

Good stuff Michael! Thks for the post! The timing of those demo guys is someting else!!

Thanks Leon. They had to wait until the whole building was visible for safety reasons. So that worked out good for us there.

I understand, I was actually referring to the timing of the explosions from the first throughout the final implosion.

Oh sorry, got ya! It was cool to actually see in person. Those guys certainly know what they are doing!

Was wondering what it was going to look like from over there. You got to see a little more of it know doubt. I went wondering around with the delays and ended up further south just the other side of water features in an empty parking lot to get mine. Thanks for sharing these!

Hey Trey, post what you got, I would love to see them!
