This was cool to watch, thanks for sharing the video! As an Arlington native and graduate of Washington - Lee High School, it's always interesting to see the numerous changes constantly underway nearby. Good times!
Yes please, drop the Marriott Key Bridge next! A bigger and better location worth a lot more! Great video Brian. Maxx Chewning lived nearby, but he probably never noticed this hotel!
I stayed there many night over the past 30 years! It was a home away from home for me! I will miss her!
This was our go to spot for every trip to the DC area. It's been sad to see it go...

It’s impressive how the demolition experts control exactly how it will fall. Probably fun to play it backwards in slo- mo!
It was awesome you shared this live as well. It's no cross country but just as great!
Thanks for the slow-mo view. It's an impressive display engineering to bring it down in such a controlled manner.
I thought so too! Thanks for watching
Absolutely fantastic photography. Thank you!
So impressed how they can manage an explosion and to make the building fall a certain way.
Thank you for capturing this, Brian

Pro demo job!
Really incredible
I snuck into this building a few weeks before it got demolished. pretty dope
We heard this loud and clear from Dupont circle..!
My dad is actually the VP of the company who owns this building, wish i saw it myself.
Link to my video of the elevators and a quick view from the restaurant level at this former hotel: ua-cam.com/video/WUy6hEks-CY/v-deo.html
Why did they demolish it?? Got fond memories of that place. Had Cousins receptuon on top floor. Stayed there during Vacation. Ty
Developers think they can make more money with apartment building I'm told
Dang. I loved that place esp top floor view at night
I can answer your question, The Dittmar company owns the building and will be building a 40 story hilton in its place. It will be a lot nicer.
Wow!
Mr insurance man, I don't know what happened it... Wind kinda knocked it over
@@bdanza Rockford Fosgate commercial... When the beat drops
i was there! i wondered who's drone that was recording it. now i know it was yours, i recorded my own video too
Drone? Not mine. I wish I could have flown my drone. My camera was mounted on a balcony at Turnberry tower
@@bdanza i saw someone with a drone on lee highway, inside the police line
@@mucci.mp3 interesting, I should have applied to do it. Flying drones within 10 miles of DCA takes a ton of paperwork and time for approval.
There goes my parking spot of 6yrs, and the Vantage Point
i used to go there all the time, rest in peace vantage point!
@@jenniferraines2704 Yes, I will miss their Seafood Lunch Buffets on Fridays.
but theres going to be a resturant with a taller building.
No more lunch buffets. Marriott next?
actually it will be a hilton in its place, 40 stories. It will be called the key and will be very impressive
