that's freaking awesome....it kinda brings back memories of 9-11 though. However it's very impressive the way that they make it fall without messing up any of the surroundings.

All I can say is it was crazy. I was standing on the street below were those people were looking out of the parking garage. The video is great but to get the whole feel of it you just had to be there.

And yeah, they are right there next to the parking lot of the old Tandy Center. I remember when it was a shop too.
