Crowne Plaza Implosion - Houston - Nov 11/07

[mkdaisgory]

i live in houston, how come i wasn't aware of this? lol

[lukesixtynineuk]

Very good effort. Not as good as WTC7 but a good effort. lol

[hp7135]

:D they killed a hobo

[RMINCProductions]

When you see the flashing explosives they sound like drums

[trackmaniakid27]

how many stories tall is that?

[leparditas]

why they doing this

[illfatedsoul]

its was a gust of wind that closed the door

[snip3r82]

middle door closes

[littwinski]

exactly...

[jonjonjonmw3]

It's the slight shockwave from the blast, you stupid idiots. *insert picard pic here*

[LESLIEPANTYHO]

the opening for DEVO , freedom of choice

[foggy691]

which door?

[coolgc1]

When you look at the main building right above the parking garage the door can be seen closing. I thought what ever one is said about the wind but all the windows have been taken out, or look like they have been.

[smartestinUSA]

was the building damaged by the demolition?

[farttalk45]

no a plane hit that building u idiot.

[zxy009]

29-31 look at the white part from the sun theirs a face

[taurenspwn]

I've stayed at that hotel before haha they knocked it down to build a huge maternity center for Texas Children's Hospital across the street..

[Shadow99052]

Pause at 0:26 is the middle you can see a face.

[dimensionsgames]

Interesting

it seems as if the door closes beacuse of a famous movie star's ghost shut it.

But it does seem more likely it was the buildings vibration.But i do find it ominous that Right after the door closes a ghost like figure looks out the window to the right of the door.

It is smoke

Scary!!!

watch the video again

[jameson63926]

that was a decent building to explore before they began guttin it

[shilohkin6]

did u see the door close

[yupuwang]

it's like fireworks at this angle!

[aztiff]

Is that the Salomon Brothers building?

[ihateyourface99218]

No, it was the Crowne Plaza

[ClunkityClunk4Truth]

I see what you did there...

[italianman1992]

I do also believe it is just the vibration of the building that caused the door to close.

[dragon202920]

ITS A GHOST! not a bird not person a ghost

[OnTheRun167]

Inside Edition doctored this footage. The door moves, but there's no one there. Just trying to create drama and ratings. Don't drink the Kool-Aid, people.

[gutaplayer]

oya i see it the door closes why does everyone think its a ghost its a door theres nothing running omg

[gutaplayer]

where is the place where the human like object is running around??????

[tcbkp77]

can someone post the inside edition with the man running????????

[GreggxStrikexFreedom]

or it could be the rumble that could of closed the door

it couudnt be a ghost

[LevelBoot]

the link is gone. but i taped it on a vhs tape and i can record it on my camer and send it to you.

[exboda]

Yes please do record it. I really wanna see this.

[HumbleBukkake]

Need a link to this Inside Edition video please!

[beddykatp]

Inside Edition's aired a new and enhanced footage. The person was running or trying to get out or something.

[Ayserk57]

I don't think Cherry Demolition would leave any more doors in their next implosion .. lol

anyways ... it seems that they're not finding anything at all .. I see them from the window, and until now .. noting is found .. yet surely looked like a person running.

[LevelBoot]

the guy that was running is 5 steps up from the door and 1 to left. you cant see it but if you go to insideedition DOT com and search for crowne plaza im sure you will see the video that has been zoomed.

[poppiesrule]

it is not on their site.

[culprite3]

any one ever seen a ghost

and does anyone know if the hotel was haunted?

[LevelBoot]

THE MYSTERY IS OVER!!!

The door closing thing can be the wind pushing it.

The figure running is probably a bird.

[foxxysteph]

Pretty big bird if you ask me.

My guess is ghost.

[greenmeanyone]

According to the Enquirer A body has been found!'Paper' has identified the remains as those of 'Flat Stanley' no age given and of no 'fixed' address 'Flat Stanley' suffered major rips & tear's and likely 'flat lined' arrangement's have been entrusted to Domtar paper Ink No date as he will most likely be composted as per family wishes In lieu of flower's family request's donation's be made to Canadian Softwood lumber industry 'Flat Stanly' will be greatly missed by family and friends

[CoasterKid2007]

Did they ever find anything?

[ladyinlimo]

No, they did not find anyone.

[photographyatitsbest]

theres a new angle now and you can clearly see something running

[academyalum2006]

Link?

[cyurkiw]

I think a smoker realized he left a pack of cigarettes in there so he ran in to get them.

[pbarlyn]

Maybe He Closed The Door As Sign To Us That He Was In There.

[Fsoprokon]

Yep, they think they've found a body! How long before we see a video that shows the person running in there. Creepy.

[Jwats96]

It kinda looks like a guy getting up against the wall.

[GEORGEJONES2ND]

i dont know, if i was in a building that was about t collapse i would close the door a LITTLE bit more faster than that

[ryder4782]

2 floors above the door u can see a shadow moving there to must be some mass scuicide no lol jking

[mikey2k7]

There is NOBODY in there......

[GEORGEJONES2ND]

when

[mikey2k7]

bullshit

[photographyatitsbest]

your the one thats wrong mate

[kfederer]

Ha, ha...so wrong..no human remains were found.

[starscreamer44]

yea send this vid to the police....altho it mighta been the explosions coz u know im pretty sure they would of cleared everyone out

[wiserjoe]

I think i just saw a person in there i swear i really saw a person in there. By zooming in 2 times you can see a person in there ouch.

[namfl]

Where is that door that closed?

[Ludden09]

Pretty much direct center of the screen, bottom floor by the carport thing.

[wopwoman]

LMAO. It's a ghost! LOL. It's a door swinging open from the explosions. Maybe it was an alien,or the Easter Bunny. LOL

[pbarlyn]

A Guy at the bottom of the page said the door thing was

because of the force of the dynamite. I think the door would

have been locked shut. When I was reading a news article

about it, they said a police dog smelled something like

blood in the rubble. When they clean up the debree, we will

find out of someone was in there.

[wopwoman]

Why would they lock the door on an abandoned building they are imploding? they removed the windows and the other doors, I wonder why not this door? Just hope no one was in there.

[rockyballbuster]

If I was in there during those explosions, I wouldn't be closing a door, I'd be bolting or hitting the deck... think about it.

[Delta0003]

hell ya! Why would you waste your time to shut a door? I would open the door and jump to safety.

[daddybuck]

WTB  Number 7

[natesplaceonline]

fell just like WTC #7....

[beepwhore01]

Its not a Goddamn ghost people.. view this full screen, you see someone close the door. Kinda sad actually. That'd be a cool fuckin way to go though..I must admit.

[Jwats96]

hell ya

[ryder4782]

u can see it close the door and move 2 the side

[Ludden09]

Still baffling

[Scasny22]

what was on the news by me was - they showed a shadow moving like a minute before implosion nothing about a door closing so idk

[HelloKitty357]

I don't know what to believe. I mean I see someone up at the window, but still the wind might have closed it. Unless i see someone falling out of the building then i will believe it. But not right now!

[buckbo]

You've got to be kidding? It's very clearly a door swinging from the concussion of the explosions. The door then rips away and falls with the roof of the carpark exposing the empty hotel room for the next second. How can anyone be so stupid? These are the same idiots that think the gas station video of the blurry Luna moth on the camera lens really is a ghost.

[ylikone]

EXACTLY!!!

[kfederer]

LOL...sums it up perfectly to me. Idiots.

[Ludden09]

Freaky deaky, something deffinetly happened there. Maybe the explosions just triggered the door to slam.

[pooczz]

Um... ghosts? Yeah, no.

[kristoefir56]

watch it in full screen and look right a the door it looks like theres ghost closing the door

[heroineworshipper]

Why can't the original 720x480 video be released instead of these Goo tube quality versions for examining the mystery shadow?

[ryder4782]

y is their only 1 door look at other spots no doors

[RivenRaven]

I saw something... looked like a person in white standing at the door. Weird. Maybe it was a ghost.

[sweetandsassy94]

it looks like theres this thing that falls out of the room that the door shut to at like 19 or 20 and it looks like it hangs onto the building then it falls. I hope i'm wrong i really do i hope that nobody died that would be terrible

[TexasBlues2000]

I just don't see anyone being in there. A buddy of mine in Houston filmed it also. He got there before the sun came up along with about 100 other people a few blocks away. The police and demo crews were all over the place. I really doubt anyone could have sneaked inside with all that. The only way it could have happened was if someone had gone in during the night and stayed there. Still, I'd imagine they would sweep the building before demo.

[bwermy]

It really looks like a gust of wind from the dynamite caused the door to shut BUT it looks like there could have been something there and when you watch the shadow all the way to the ground it's still black...who knows I just hope there was no one inside, how awful.

[pinky120281]

There was noone inside...its sooo obivious that the door closed when the detnators went off....and plus ...how the heck would anyone get in there...and why would they close the door if everything else is clearly out in the open......comon ppl.....let it go already!

[pooczz]

My heart goes out to the family of that jittery, inconclusive compression artifact that may or may not have lost its life on this tragic day in Houston, but didn't.

[texassherri1]

Thanks for all the info, I thought I was the only one questioning the door shuting. It seems to swing with explosions, but is not shut tight. Also, the movement I see after the door moves looks like the room crumbling to me. It's till odd. If they find no one what will the conspiracy theories be!!!!

[sweetandsassy94]

if u watch on full screen at 13 seconds in the room the door lead to you can definatly see someone running through the room but it doesnt look like a normal shadow maybe the person was dressed all in white but you can definatly see someone

[wopwoman]

Watched it several times on full screen, can't see anyone. just door swinging open. Let's just hope I'm right. Hate to think someone was in there.

[pooczz]

Yeah, me too. It's hard to imagine that a powerful series of successive pyrotechnic detonations designed to bring down an entire building might have the capability of causing visible movement within a structure prior to its collapse.

[sweetandsassy94]

also if you full screen it underneath the top od the building all the way on the side you can see something move there too

[austind710]

it looks like its just smoke and dust, cuz at the same time u see some faint smoke around it.

i dont think anyone was in it

[sweetandsassy94]

ya youre right never mind

[demobud]

IF you look at the sequence of detonation, the door is at the center of the sequence. At about 00:38 on the video you can see a puff of dust just to the right of the door that show that a charge went off at that point. When det cord goes off there is a pressure differential that could easily have moved that door as well as the fact that the concrete around it is already beginning to fail, causing movement in the general area.

[wopwoman]

you sound experienced in implosion's. Your opinion seems to be most logical. You can't see a person or figure, as others have stated.Just a door swinging open. Thanks,for the great explanation. It makes total sense now.

[pooczz]

Agreed, although the door shuts way earlier than that... the clip is only 00:38 seconds long.

[pooczz]

Besides, why the HELL would anyone bother shutting that door in the first place? There's way too much speculation going on here from a crappy, low-quality YouTube video.

[demobud]

Sorry, I posted the wrong time. It was closer to 00:14. I ran my self crosseyed looking at that particular segment.

[demobud]

I have been in demolition for over twenty years, and I have seen a few things that looked like near misses. Although my opinion is that it was coincidence, I understand the authorities and the demo contractors need to verify any thing out of the ordinary. If it is a real accident, issues of security and safety will have to be reviewed.

[butterflykisses9899]

what door should we be looking at? i dont see it? the one on the top doesnt seem like its moving

[butterflykisses9899]

never mind i see it. hm, could of easily been wind though. i'd like to see a video of someone going in there

[thundersquad1]

we just witnessed someone dying.

[themainburger]

hope he never accidentally types september 11 instead of november 11

[abbottb2]

You can clearly see a shadowy figure go up to the door and close it. When you bring the video to a full screen, it is quite clear.

[vickilaw]

I'm all for seeing mysterious things, but I've watched this over and over and I don't see a person - just a door moving. Why would the police and search dogs be brought out from just this video, I wonder.

[rubepnw]

yup theres someone in there.......

[tubgirl8000]

Sounds crazy, but if you zoom in, it looks like a shadow of a person. However, instead of dark, it's light- like a ghost. Trippy.

[chrisdab1]

I think it is a person. They said they had other footage of a person running inside the building.

[chrisdab1]

It was ABC nightly news on 11/15/2007 that said there was a 2nd video showing a person going in btw.

[trumanthecat]

Great angle. Thanks for posting.

[bralen24]

Amazing!!

[bednarluck]

this view is much better than the one CNN is showing. they're calling it a "shadow" but in your video you can obviously tell that it's a wall shifting.

[N0GGINB0NKER]

Yeah I see it. It's the middle window at the bottom. From left to right, it's the 9th window just above the parking garage (at least I think it's a garage).  At 10 seconds you see the door moving. I would turn this in if I was you, but I honestly think the explosions caused it to happen.

[scooter6172]

I agree. I see the door close but I think its caused by the concussion.

[davidandnidia]

Yes, I see the door close, but I think it's just from the concussion of the initial blast, not a person inside the building.

[abbottb2]

Clearly this is a person in the building. You can see a shadowy figure walk up to the door and close it.

[gadflyii]

Where? I do not see it? What part of the hotel am I supposed to be looking at?

[GEORGEJONES2ND]

the part on top of the parking garage

[BritishGuy79]

If you look closely at the middle of the video (about 10 seconds in), there seems to be either a door closing or somebody turning and backing up against one of the walls.

[wrice123]

better send your original video to the police, they're investigating if someone was inside

[darsdm]

This week is really THE IMPLOSION WEEK!
