[kj] The Demise of The Astoria in timelapse

[Wessidetempest]

Wow. Bummer. But I am more miffed at how meticulous they were. Literally dismantling. Here in the states (at least MI) it's usually bulldozers and cranes and rip the structure down. Or in extreme cases implode it. 
The infamous JL Hudson building implosion link.

On a side note I'm surprised the implosion contractor is boasting as they screwed up the job pretty good. 

Anyway sad to see the Astoria go
