Atlanta Control Tower Implosion

[oldfart387]

To bad you couldn't get the shot from the new tower! THAT would have been AWESOME!!!

[P100PlaneSpotter]

I wonder if people thought it actually fell. As in no bombs?

[supermariolover1000]

Thumbs up if you thought the tall one was gunna fall!

[mrepicman77]

just another view :P

[Maymona13]

I'm guessing the old one was the one that fell?

[crazywarriorman]

@Maymona13 Well, no shit sherlock.

[AssemblerGuy]

How much bureucracy did they have to endure, in order to obtain permission to carry explosives into an airport...? ô.O

[DVA4890]

@AssemblerGuy They had to stop all air traffic right before they did it

[TSM8088]

Wrong one..

[jacob6102]

The huge one right in front of it

[jmkpns]

You would think that the demolition of the old tower banging on the ground would cause some effects of damage on the new tower, I would have just left the old tower standing or took it down piece by piece.

[dingdongditch1000]

Chicago O'Hare's old Control Tower is still standing, and they have no plans any time soon to demolish it!!!

[countryflyboy]

iten Oharas is alittle close to the terminal for demolition

[dingdongditch1000]

Unless if they do it manually and just take it down piece by piece!!!

[peteg913]

@dingdongditch1000 It is in use for other purposes.

[dingdongditch1000]

@peteg913 Oh!!!

[Bunny9o9]

I like the unobstructed view...too bad it wasn't imploded before the new tower went up.

[DiMoraDiamond]

Uhhh, so how would ATC direct traffic with NO TOWER if they tore down the old one before the new one went up? LOL

[NightShadeAEB]

@DiMoraDiamond He was joking lol

[joeu5431]

@DiMoraDiamond well...they would sit in the starbucks overlooking the runway and..get bored then say "9972 cleared to land runway 2 8903 cleared to land runway 2" "let the fireworks begin!!"

[akroaggie]

you think so?

[ToEntertainYou]

LOL, always wanted to see something happening to a tower. Controllers are just always to cranky!
