    That explains a unique sound I heard that day. The buildings were more than a mile away, but the noise was of great and sustained volume. Until I saw this video, I had no idea what caused it.

    Wow! I've been enjoying these for years now and finally the comments are open! It's been great seeing stuff get blown up for a good cause. I really like how you've been adding in a few seconds of reversed video so that the building un-collapses. Great Stuff. Keep it coming.

    I visited my friends there plenty of times. The place was at least 50-years-old, so thank god. Y'all did a great job.

    Love these videos. Always amazed by your precision. Have you ever thought of photographing your demolitions using a drone?

    Very impressive demolishing this building with explosives and showing almost no damage to the adjacent buildings, only feet away.

    For anyone wondering: the last building of the set was also demolished in the months after this. They had to deconstruct it instead of implode it due to safety reasons and a different apartment complex right next to it. The whole site is currently being turned into a larger student housing development.
