El Paso City Hall blast goes according to plan.
In an instant, 33 years of history came tumbling down as the former El Paso City Hall building was demolished Sunday morning.
The building fell and smoke covered downtown in a matter of seconds, and City Engineer Alan Shubert said the demolition was perfect.
“It was a textbook demolition,” Shubert said. “It went precisely as planned. It really came off without a hitch.”
From every angle, the implosion of City Hall was seemingly flawless. The 10-story building folded down upon itself just as planned.
