speaking of apocalypses for buildings
The towers are oddly beloved by many people, especially architects, but the demolition serves as great theater. The three towers all collapse at once, and smoke rings bellow out of the top in the slow motion reel. While it's not the only time people have gathered to watch a demolition, the erasure of these cooling towers is particularly eerie, as they bring to mind apocalyptic images of nuclear meltdown. (via)i recommend pushing play on "the voyager" and watching all the videos.
