I was so happy when they finally pulled that thing down! I remember walking around for weeks one fall, watching as pieces of the brick fell before they pulled it down. It was crazy that they kept it up as long as they did.
I was in TT from 6/75 thru 8/77. Room 931 most of the time. I was even an RA one year. I remember when Caraway Road and Aggie dissected the campus. Remember "Sperm City" the campus trailer park? We ate at the cafeteria in Chickasaw not the Reng Center, except during the summer. Living in Twin Towers Towers is, in a warped sort of way, a fond memory. Gone. Gone. Never again to see. Gone, along with my flat stomach and dark brown hair.
I am sad to see twin towers go down. My husband lived in 559 from 1989-1993. I was quite the experience there. Thank god he didn't have a roommate because I don't see how two people could have lived in there. It will be different going to campus and not seeing it there.
I lived there '74 & '75 on the top floor. Since we had no cable in the rooms I put up a HUGE TV antenna on a pole outside my window that was higher than the roof. It was great! I could get all the Memphis stations clear as a bell. Maintenance guys came by to remove it but couldn't figure out how to get it down so they gave up. LOL. Lots of good memories there. So long Towers!
When I started at ASU (1992) my Dad took one look at Twin Towers, threw a fit, and paid for off campus apartment rent for four years of undergrad and two years of grad school. Thanks TT. :)
lol no body said anything about 911 who`s retarded..but i gotta say this is some proof that there are demolitions with only a few.flashed you can barely see them.and barely hear any explosions.like on a normal demolitions
My best friends I trace back to that building. I was an RA there for four semesters, but years of therapy and meds have brought me back to sanity. Ah, the '80's. Anyone remember Sadie when she was dorm mother?
SADIE! I was wracking my brain for the last two weeks trying to remember what her name was.
Say what you will about Twin Toilets, but one Summer term staying at Delta Hall gave a buttload of perspective on Twin. I never complained about that place again ... at least when those screaming elevators actually WORKED.
You're absolutely right about Delta Hall. I think they have CO/ED dorms now there at ASU. I better not ever hear the fellas there now complain about campus housing.
Many witness recall that crackling sound for up to 15 seconds before the towers showed any sign of going down, as is the same here :o

it was the same as the twin towers of Manhattan, the difference this time is that there were no aircraft and no oil war about it.

I'm almost sad--I knew guys who roomed there in the early-to-mid 90s(and lived to tell about it). I can't imagine campus without the towers!

Sadie Holmes: RA from 86 to 89. The place should have been blasted when I was there.

mrawsomepants355 3 years ago
Yeah, heh, Starlight, its a controlled demolition. No one died.
And btw, there were survivors from 9/11.

This is obviously a controlled demolition and not an attack..thats why the cheering.

Those didn't look stable at all before they were imploded.
mrcheesenips 3 years ago
That's because they tore out three or four floors and most of the brick casing. It looked different before all the demo work started.

Same here. Lived here 1984-87 ... it was far from perfect, but as far as college dorms go, it wasn't bad at all. At least when I was there.

Very good production. Especially like the stacked simulcast from the different angles.
Makes me proud to be a product of such a fantastic RTV program (graduated 1988).
