Implosion

whats going in the place of that building?

drum roll....

wait for it....

another compass bank.

Yep, Im in those pics.

My girlfriend and I showed up late to the party. We had gotten in from the bars/Tacos a gogo around 4am, so waking her up at 6:30 was not fun! I don't think she actually woke up until the explosions went off.

Cool, how did you guys know to go to the top of the parking garage?

awesome video and good job with the editing

Thanks.

I've just put up another video one from a video taken directly north of the bank. It's taken from behind glass and is not edited but it shows a different view.

I intend on getting a video from directly west and hope that I can solicit ones from the Magiannos parking lot as it was the "official" viewing location.

Thanks for the video, and welcome to HAIF!

Did the dust cloud make it to the top of the garage y'all were on? I wonder if it all settled before the rain came through, or if some nearby locations got some nasty coatings.

Hey thanks!

The dust cloud was just about hit us when one of the building security guards shoed all of us on the garage roof away. Here's Mr. Party Pooper:

See if you can pick out Houston Retailer. He's there somewhere lol.

Thanks for the viewing tip! There was only 10 people on top of the garage and it looked like a few hundred at the "official" viewing area. My camera buffer filled up on all of the "pre-blasts" before it fell down, but I got a few good shots.

You can see all of them here

Awesome! Count me in as one of the 10. Which one of the 10 were you? BTW excellent pics! I'm the guy with the camcorder. I've uploaded all the video and photos to:
