Ocean Tower Implosion

South Padre Island, Texas. The Ocean Tower was set to be imploded at 9a.m. I crowd had been gathering since 6a.m. to see what would happen.

I woke up at 5 this day, showered and got ready for the early morning drive to the Island. I got there around 6 to get my press pass. The Valley Morning Star crew hung out for a good while. Even though the wait was long, it was well worth it.

At 9a.m. it started to get quiet, at 9:07a.m. a 5 second count down started. Then several loud explosion. The building collapsed.

It was a great site, I am thank full I got to see this. It may be a very long time till I get to see an implosion again.
