Dallas Building Implosion
Jan 29
This morning a good friend of mine invited me to watch a Dallas building get demolished. Unfortunately I didn’t get to witness the event in person, but was able to catch it on channel 5 news. Luckily I was able to Tivo the implosion and am posting it here for your enjoyment.
The implosion took place about 5 miles from our house and we could hear the explosions from our house. It was pretty cool to watch it on TV and then hear the delay as it came through our living room.
Supposedly the largest Whole Foods Market in the country will be built at this location. That’s pretty exciting news and what’s even more suprising is that it will be open in just over a year.
The video file runs about 7.5MB and lasts approximately 3 minutes. I ran it through FFmpeg to bring the size and quality down because the original was well over 600MB! Please forgive the spotty audio since I’m trying to master FFmpeg’s audio settings.
