Raleigh Convention Center Imploded

The Raleigh Convention center was imploded early this morning to make way for the new Convention Center and hotel complex.
Wish I was there to see it, but 7:00am is just too darn early on a Sunday morning. ; - )

The video was on the news tonight, but it was anti-climactic to say the least. No big explosion and dramatic fall, just some pops of the well placed charges, and the building dropped a floor or two. Nothing like the dramatic implosions on the Discovery Channel.
The new Convention Center is scheduled to open by 2008.
