No palm trees were damaged with the demolition of this building. Of course they needed to be vacuumed afterwards, but that's another story.

[@Sir_Uncle_Ned]

Okay, I love the retro CDI logo, please keep using it for older stuff. This was once again a sublime work of art born of destruction

[@TheDutchOne]

Would this still have been done the same way nowadays with this amount of glass?

[@lalaineverano9706]

On a verbal countdown from ten, you shouldn't say the "five" aloud because it sounds like "fire" and the trigger timing mistake HAS happened.

[@mark-]

a lot of broken glass

[@RonDevito]

Oldie but a goodie. Still don't understand why the countdown stops at 5 and skips to "fire" in these old videos.

[@pokemonprimed]

Maybe someone else on the ground and not on mic is counting the last?

[@axl151]

To keep the radio channel open in case they need to abort.

[@phoenixsmith6026]

you are correct,@@axl151

[@RonDevito]

@@axl151 - ah…. Ok…. That makes sense. Thank you.

[@packrat79]

Shouldn't this be spelled espiritu?

[@GabeSanti97]

The bank that operated there in Miami was of Portuguese origins

[@packrat79]

@@GabeSanti97My mistake, I have yet to study Portuguese.

That was stunning! By the way, there's building is the same from Arnold Schwarzenegger's movie, "True Lies", when the terrorist landed the building, Aziz got Harry Renquist's (Schwarzenegger) daughter as hostage and policy insurance. Harry is rescuing her daughter on the rooftop with the his help of secret agent to stopped and Aziz's henchmen and killed the leader of Crimson Jihad and save the world and deactivate the nuclear missile.
