The Stardust Hotel was imploded while I was out of the country in Europe, but Splice was able to get my camera and get out there in the middle of the night to shoot it from a good vantage point. When I first got home last week I was sick, thus the delay in getting the thing edited and ready to put on the site here, but I think you might find that it was worth the wait… This might very well be the best video of the implosion yet! Here’s why:

This video has the entire demolition including:

- the complete fireworks display
- the countdown on the building
- the implosion itself

** plus **

- the implosion in REVERSE
- the implosion in SLOW MOTION!

So check it out and let me know what you think. Feel free to share a link to my blog with a friend so they can check it out too :) Also, you’ll want to check back regularly for weekly pictures and the occasional video of all the Rehab shenanigans which will commence on April 29th >:P

    yo christopher that fucking rocked!
    when a building implodes in reno we just assume it’s another vagrant setting fire to a transient hotel.

    I was cracking up at the car alarms as well.
    changed your link on my blogroll to reflect your new and improved site and am looking forward to that beer ;)

    That video rocked. It makes me wish I would have been there to see it personally. I watched a huge hospital go down in my city but without as many fireworks. Actually, there were none as I recall. Anyway loved the vid, thanks for taking the time to make it. Anything that sets off that many car alarms is worthy of praise.
