From the South Florida Web site: This Sunday at 9 a.m., a longstanding West Palm Beach eyesore at 1515 Flagler Drive is scheduled to be destroyed by a controlled implosion. The destruction of the 30-story, hurricane damaged, uninhabited condo tower is expected to take 6.5 seconds, making it the
third-tallest building in the United States to be demolished in this way. For those wondering what that will look like, the video above, which shows the controlled implosion of five Florida buildings, should provide a frightening, yet visually-stimulating preview.
