Tower down -- follow up on post of a few days ago when I mentioned the Tower being brought down

Not the greatest shots: It was very hazy this morning (just can't predict the weather!). Anyway, I was glad to see this first hand. I was several miles away and the sound was very noticeable from where I stood. The dust cloud was larger than I had anticipated also.

Hazy day and I was several miles away shooting at about 500mm. Shots aren't as good as I would have liked them to be, but you can't control the weather!

Is that the Bethlehem Steel tower?
It was. I watched on TV this morning; from the tallest building in PA outside Philadelphia or Pittsburg to a pile of rubble and a cloud of dust, in under 30 seconds.

Sad that they had to take it down. I believe something rather mundane will replace it.

On the news they said the property will be used for housing and shopping and recreation. Better use than a big old (not really that old) abandoned office building. As interesting a building as it was, the property will now be use in a way that benefits the city of Bethlehem and the eastern Lehigh valley.
