An implosion is only limited by the area which can be used as a debris receptacle. I did a couple of takeoffs on this building but for the life of me, I can't remember how deep the basement is. The deeper the basement, of course, the more debris it can hold. Demolition debris ususally has an angle of repose of 2:1 but because of the steel construction this can vary a bit.
The Landmark Tower was the first highrise constructed in the US with an aluminum curtain wall. With aluminum scrap selling for .73/lb., somebody is loving life.

Here is some more info:

James,
That explains that. They have a 30 ft deep basement and are augmenting that with a 20 foot excavation adjacent to the building in which to catch the debris.

I saw thought, after I finally got a chance to read the article.

Come rain or shine, the Landmark Tower at the corner of Seventh and Houston streets will be imploded tomorrow morning.

And Fort Worth police is expecting about 10,000 spectators to show up to see the spectacle.

The 30-story skyscraper is scheduled to come down at approximately 8 a.m. The city will be closing off a 15-block safety perimeter beginning at 5 a.m. Saturday.

We will have video as soon as it becomes available.
