Building “destroyed” in Marvel movie imploded for real. Dykon Explosive Demolition Corp. yesterday did what it does best; imploding the Georgia Archives Building in Atlanta.

The waterfront property, located on the Hillsborough River just south of the […]

Former Pitney Bowes building bows out. With one well-placed big bite, an excavator operator fells much of the former Pitney Bowes building in Shelton, Connecticut. Thankfully, a cameraman was on hand to capture the dramatic moment:

Controlled explosion fells building in Atlanta. The Hammond Exchange Building on the edge of Dunwoody was imploded two weeks ago with help from 500 pounds of explosives. We have no idea quite how this massive implosion bypassed our news-feed radar at the time but we are grateful to our subscriber Russ Gardiner for pointing out […]

Winter storms buckled and twisted the Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge in Big Sur, cracking concrete and displacing columns and rendering the entire structure unsafe. And so, Caltrans called in a crane equipped with a three tonne wrecking ball which it intended to drop repeatedly onto […]
