Dominion Energy Implosion

www.pedestrians.org
Implosion of the 21-story Dominion Energy office building in downtown Richmond, VA, first in real time, and then in 1/4 speed slow motion. Opened in 1978, it became obsolete when Dominion Energy moved into the new glass tower to its left.
By John Z Wetmore, producer of "Perils For Pedestrians".

This was worth waking up at 5:00 to watch in person

And with that moment, a building in my childhood vanished.

My go-to demo channel. Thanks for the upload.

You are welcome. I'm always keeping an eye out for more to shoot.

This was the old Dominion power building (new one just to the left) in downtown Richmond Virginia. I was there and saw it!

Work in that building for many years.

CDI was behind this job. You can hear Doug Loizeaux, Mark’s brother, initiating the final countdown to the building’s explosive demise.

Is this why they raised my rates? Cost of a new building.

I loved it when that pathetic company left New Orleans

That's what Tom Benson should have done with their building here next to the Dome instead of buying it ...it has been a dismal business failure..
Ed Debartolo, Sr. originally built it.
