Blowing it Up Here, Boss
Filed under: Construction — Tags: — nedpelger

I never get tired of seeing buildings implode. I think about all the work it takes to plan, strategize and fight your way through a big construction project. Then I see it all turn to rubble in 25 seconds. It’s a metaphor, baby.

The Amway Arena in Orlando, FL was built a mere 23 years ago and cost $103M. I’m still wearing underwear bought 23 years ago and these folks can’t even make a huge building last that long. Watch the first 25 seconds below.

Watching this works as a de-stressor for me. I think I’ll watch it again.
