WLOX-TV - The News for South Mississippi: The Island View Hotel Implosion: "The Grand Casino Biloxi said goodbye to the Island View Hotel Sunday Morning.

Cherry Demolition out of Houston, Texas worked for three weeks to prepare what took seconds to take down. The implosion took place about 6:40 am Sunday.

400 pounds of dynamite were strategically placed in the pilings to make this implosion go off without a hitch."

See, I must have been a horrible child, just the idea of 400 lbs of dynamite has me all atingle! Good thing I never did get into playing with fire!

Swapna, if I had been in the crowd watching the implosion I would have cheered too. I mean how often do we see something like that? It took a Katrina which was a high admission price.
