MD Anderson Houston Main Building (Prudential) Implosion

Built in 1953 as the Prudential building, and renamed HMB by MDA in 1980, this 20 story building was imploded due to its deferentially sinking foundation on Jan 8th, 2012.

The initial blast was quite a jolt (causing me to shake the camera). The implosion was originally to take place at 7:52am, but very heavy fog delayed it to just after 11am. 

Well worth the wait.
