Massive Building Implosion Overtakes Crowd!

On January 20, 2007 - New Haven, Connecticut's beloved sports and music arena, The New Haven Veteran's Memorial Coliseum - was imploded because it was too expensive to attempt to revitalize it to its once majestic splendor. The demolition and removal was intended to hopefully make room for future improvements in the area... instead, it was replaced with a parking lot.

[Canes5Rings]

That was the site of my first concert!

TED NUGENT!

People were throwing bricks off the top of the garage after the show and TED was banned from New Haven!

[JPizzle1122]

Canes5Rings - People were throwing bricks?! That sounds horrifying! That could just out-right kill people... why would anyone do that!?

- Jon

[Oblivion172]

Why do voices always sound deeper in slow motion?

[JPizzle1122]

Oblivion172 - Because they're slowed down...

[MysteryManX22]

[PR0T0P0WER]

[MetroidPeter]

@JPizzle1122 So you never said that: and you expect me to know...

[MetroidPeter]

How can that be amazing?! That must've killed hound reds of people!!!

[NejiHyuga900]

@sweeth3ad111 - They are both opposites. Implosion is an inward burst and an explosion is an outward burst.

@Canes5Rings I remember that show. It had to be '78 or '79. Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush opened. Death was raining from above after the show and somehow fans broke into and rolled a Greyhound bus across the street into the side of the coliseum. Man.........those were the days.
