Kodak has imploded the iconic Building 53 in the Eastman Business Park. It’s not the first of the buildings to go, but it is definitely the one that everyone knows — the 9 stack sitting on top has been a landmark in the location since the building’s construction in 1923. This isn’t the first building in Eastman Business Park that Kodak implodes, but it is one of the more well-known. Watch the video below of the implosion, from a pretty decent close distance!
Here’s a bad ass DRONE VIEW of the demolition:
Another amazing view:
Ok, one more, plus an interview with some of the demo guys:
Demolition company Diacon was involved in the blast engineering; MB Glick was also involved in the demo, but I do not know the capacities. Pretty cool videos, huh?
For another awesome demolition video, check out the Demolition of Texas Stadium, filmed by awesome person and dear friend Jessica Amspoker!
