Hudson Building Implosion P2i

This was shot by Paradigm 2000 Inc during the hudson building implosion. This shows the best point of view even the dynamite packs exploding. We where in an adjacent building with the best view. Never before seen from this angle. It is now the new site of Compuware Headquarters. www.paradigm2000inc.com

Implosion starts at 6:19 everything else is just a waste of time!

So sad to see a landmark gone like this. Now we can all shop at "Macy*s by Default"!(pardon me while I barf!) They're taking-over our retail lives like an unwanted plague! They are EVERYWHERE, sadly, with NOTHING good to offer. Long live the independent department stores! By the way, when I passed-through Detroit in 1993, it made Newark, NJ look like paradise!

it would of really sucked if you left a window open that day...

@JeffHendrie Just a microcosm to the decline of the American industrial economy. You are right, it's not terrorism that's hurting us the most, it's our own physical decline.

That's a thumbs down for wasting six minutes. Just go to 6:15 and skip the shit at the beginning.

@JSneaker -- Showing that if we do the RIGHT thing, and make the RIGHT decisions for the U.S.A., and Detroit, more-so, Detroit, and the U.S.A. can get out of this echonomic RUT, and be great again, sprawling, bustling, crime-rates down, and standing tall, with nice white painted, houses, towering brick and steel structures, and proove that America, IS the country of it's citicens, of it's GOOD citicens, and that it's OUR country, and NOONE can destroy it but US. Not terrorists, not ANYTHING.

@JSneaker I drew a picture of Detroit showing progression of the city, from the 1800s, to 2010/2011, and in the 1800s section, it's nice, wagon ruts, and everything, old hotel, bank, etc., 1900s, not much, it's about a cm space, 1960s/70s section, Detroit turns to crappy, ghetto, with a police car chasing somthing/someone, 2010/2011 section, Christler/Ford Building (not sure of the name), and J.L. Hudsons erected again as it was in the 1920s. --

@JSneaker My mom WORKED in that building from 16, to around 34, how do you think I feel about that building being taken down? Who took it down, KWAMEE, who do I hate more than EVER for not restoring somthing WORTH restoring, KWAMEE. He DESERVES life in jail, and it took an ENTIRE YEAR for them to figure that out. TEAR DOWN FORD FIELD AND COMERICA PARK AND REBUILD HUDSOND AND TIGERS' STADIUM! Tigers' Stadium: 1901-2010, J.L. HUDSONS Building: 1903/1905-2006/7.
