thanks for that, can't help, but nice video. there was a school done like that, and apparently they leave all kinds of stuff in there when they knock 'em down. we went in there the night before and were (I hate to say "carting off" because it sounds like stealing) but taking stuff they had left behind, and sure enough bright and early next day boom, bye bye school.

I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion.

Great video. But sorry, I can't help you on the implosion date..but I will look around for it.

Edit: I found a site that says the implosion was set for mothers day at 6:15. I don't know if this is the main building though.

yeah it really hacks me off when the destroy neat old buildings, with the even cooler stuff still inside, to add insult to injury. like a small hospital near dallas (its in the DB ) got torn down with and old xray machine, an early defibilator and a whole ton of shit like that and there was absolutely no vandalism!

This getting a little off topic, but that totally reminds me of the Goiânia incident, where scavengers took a radiation source from an abandoned hospital in Brazil without knowing what it was, and about 100,000 people had to be tested for radiation exposure. A few people died. Explorers, please don't do anything like this!

yeah, it would probably be a good idea to be wary of any medical equipment still in there.
