Looking for an implosion to watch!

renny00 · #1 (**permalink**) 11-13-2007, 08:29 AM

Is there anyplace on this forum, or elsewhere on the web, where I might find out more than a couple of days in advance of the implosion of a structure? I've never seen one and badly want to. I live in Kentucky, so most of the real eye-popping implosion sites are far enough away I'd have to make travel plans at least a week in advance. I'd also want to take at least two of my kids, which means flying would be costly without knowing a month or so ahead. (From what I've gathered browsing this forum, it looks like they don't announce the actual date more than a few days in advance anyway.)

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum!

You can keep an eye out on the forum here or www.phillyblast.com has some dates, we pretty much know the same here.

Most of the time it's generally announce a couple weeks in advance.

The Stubbs Tower in Savannah Georgia is going to be imploded on Saturday December 15th.

Savannah is a cool town. Lots of history. It would make for a nice weekend

Hello, I'm also new to the forum. My interest is implosions, as I'm an amateur photographer. Our camera club submits framed photos at our Print Show at the end of the year, and it's my hope to have a great implosion shot. I'll be keeping my eye out for these in 2008. I live in Kentucky, but can go a reasonable distance in some of the surrounding states for a photo op! Thanks!

There is a big implosion coming out in a week or so for bid in Tennesse. It has to be abated and prepared so realistically it will be imploded sometime in Spring '08. That's not too far from you.

Any idea what city and/or how big of a building?

My brothers & I were debating whether the 9-hour drive to Savannah was worth it, answer would be "no" if there's something in the spring a lot closer to us (especially if it was far enough up in the spring to squeeze in a couple of rounds of golf...)

Thanks for the updates!

It is a 27 story building.

The one in Savannah is 14 and the good thing about it there are a lot of viewing angles. It is the tallest around plus. Savannah is a really cool town

What city in Tennessee is the implostion for the 27 story building?

still looking...
no more info about a building in Tennessee. Search of newspapers in Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville results in article about someone tearing down a Quonset hut. Any further word on this that you can share? Updates or clues?
nothing on phillyblast.com nor implosionsareablast.com
I'd hate to miss something within a reasonable day's drive (with screaming kids). Keep us posted!
