My boss got on my butt about not mentioning our Company. I'll take Dallas Demo's lead. D.H. Griffin of Texas, Inc. Demolished the building. We are located in the Houston area and perform work throughout the Gulf coast area as well as throughout the US of A. Visit us at our website Home Page.
It's amazing how some of these buildings are erected. The building standards for mid rise structures around here defy logic. The building code never required sprinklers. Our PC400 blew through the building in a day and a half.
It was tragic what happened at the building. I feel for all the families that were affected by what took place there. The building came down like a house of cards. I attached a link of a short video that the Chronicle had on their site of the last section of building to come down. Hope it works I am not very computer literate.

[FONT=Verdana]"It has not only been an eye sore, but it has attracted wrong doers," he said. "They steal copper from there and it's dangerous."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Attorneys for the victims knew that the building was going to be demolished this month. For the past few months, they have been going inside the building and collecting evidence for their cases.[/FONT]
