KeyBank Implosion

We went for a walk last night to see the aftermath of the Key Bank Building Implosion. I was surpirsed by the height of the pile of rubble that they are sorting through now. They have started to make piles of salvagable steel that they can sell or use elsewhere. The building fell into a relatively small, compact space and left the rest of the space where Crossroads mall used to be wide open. We woke up early Saturday morning to watch it all happening on the news. They imploded the building around 6:35 am. This was about ten minutes earlier than planned due to an incoming thunderstorm. They advised people in the downtown area to stay in the homes until around 10:30 to allow the dust to clear. But due to the storm coming in the dust was all settled within the hour. The church headed up the giant task of imploding the Key Bank Tower to begin making room for the new City Creek Center that is projected to be complete in 2011. Although the new City Creek Center looks like it will be beautiful, for now the task is just to clean up the mess.
