46-year old apartment block crashes down in controlled blast.
More than a dozen explosions thundered out from the concrete skeleton of Lincoln Park Tower Sunday morning.
After a moment of stillness – and some uncomfortable shifting by members of the crowd — the next round of detonations started, this time accompanied by the sound of the eight-story apartment building crashing to the ground.
The roof of the building rolled like the surface of the ocean following a wave and disappeared into a billowing cloud of beige dust. When the air cleared, all that was left was 10,000 tons of rubble and rebar.
