Seattle Viaduct Demolition Time Lapse

[tugwakesurfer]

much like watching the demolition of the Elwha dams, really interesting to see how quickly such things can disappear.

How is seattle traffic these days? I havent made it across the water since this happened.

Bye bye to one of the best driving views of mountains, sea and city. Glad I got to see it before the horrific views to come.

@rapauli Horrific views?! The Seattle waterfront is actually going to be a nice place now without that crumbing POS there. Who cares if your view is gone? Pay more attention to your driving. Tunnel is going to be 10X better than the viaduct.

This is a great post. Time lapse is so cool!

I wish the engineers had performed an experiment to see if it was a rickety as they said. To knock down three lanes to build two does not make sense.

@KPO6859 It does when those three lanes are likely to kill people.

The music is by Avi Bortnick, a musician and acoustic engineer in NYC.

Cool any idea what the sound track is?

@linuxmusictoys

Yep, I wrote it. It's not released though.

Thanks for posting - Is there going to be a HD version?
