Amazing historic video, and you incidentally caught the old Eastern Air Lines building which was used in the 1950s era quonset hut terminal. More amazing would be if they would have simply kept the old building and remodeled it into a retro hotel, instead of building a "new" hotel which now looks dated itself...
Just like they practiced it! I remember living in Lexington, KY at the time and watching this on CNN.
I'm sure some of you were sad, but there weren't THAT many of you. I had heard that the place got to be a nightmare. And, most Southerners swore that you couldn't go anywhere--even Heaven or Hell--without going through ATL first!
Sheesh..... a major landmark there one minute, GONE the next. Imagine if ya was deaf, were standin there lookin at that old building just admiring it, then ya had a snezzing fit or something, then to look back and see it 100% gone without seein or hearin anything... you'd think ya was just TRIPPIN or somethin!
It blew up like

My dad was 18 when the current terminal opened--he and his buddies goofed around one time in 1980 around this old building. Makes me almost jealous

22 years later, the replacement air control tower was demolished. And this one lasted, what, 23 years?

Some great old school footage. That tower was part of what was once the largest terminal in the world in 1961
