On hand to witness the event were 8 railfans, regulars at the Stockton Tower, no media was on hand to record the event for posterity. The Old girl proved to be tough, they had to undercut the west side before it would fall. More west side under-cutting. She still refuses to fall, more under-cutting is needed.
Cables are attached to a bulldozer and a steam shovel, they begin pulling.
With a horrendous moan the tower begins to fall, The Tower is on target for the location that they wanted the tower to fall. In a cloud of dust and a dull thud, she hit the ground. Like a elephant that tripped, she lays on her side, the second and third floor came down relatively intact. Another view of the downed tower. Another view of the downed tower, I left at this point, feeling the need to go someplace less stressful.
