They blew it up today (partial implosion) but it will take a few days to collapse.
It seems the Grateful Dead never played there.

I suppose the demolition
I suppose the demolition contractor does not wish to go back in there and set more charges, as that would be a bit dangerous, since people might get squished.
Those guys must have large insurance premiums.

What I find interesting about
What I find interesting about the partial implosion is how demolition needs to be engineered correctly or it might not be successful. I'd be curious to know the frequency or rate of partial implosions? In a similar light, what would be the odds of giant structures imploding after significant "random impacts" of forces typically used in demolition?

I saw my only Rolling Stones
I saw my only Rolling Stones show there in 1989.
It was the worst sounding show I have ever attended.
Good riddance.
