Why did they do that?

[naviniea]

They were old condemned dorms. They built a daycare and some apartment style dorms over the these dorm's old locations.

[PawBailey]

Oh thanks for telling me that! :D

[jjgiffi]

[gilsilvers]

That was Voorhies mens' dormitory, my 7th-floor home 1978-1981. AKA Animal House.

[fredcaptain]

i was there too in 1978 january feb and march i think..but i dont remember the name of the dormitory

[frogspore]

I went to school there from 78-80. I can't remember which dorm I stayed in though. It was a real party college.

[hillbillyrockstar719]

i remember going to watch that... i especially remember that day because that was the day the space shuttle crashed =[

[southernfratdude]

WOW awesome event to witness!!!! I like the one girl's comment... "LET's DO ANOTHA WON!" LOL

love me some ragin' cajuns!!! :)

[ianmcgibboney]

I was right there! My truck got covered in dust. I didn't know this video existed. Interestingly enough, this happened at almost the precise moment that the space shuttle Columbia exploded. When I got home, our local weatherman was on CNN saying he heard it explode. What he heard was these buildings collapsing.

Good times.

[jCazalot]

[gv0928]

why was this done? lol

[amadah3]

They were old dilapidated dorms. Now those areas that were imploded are occupied by newly built apartments for students. The last building that was imploded is a now a Day Care center.

[mykeysaab]

[naviniea]

Yeah, the first one is. The second is a little ways down the street.
