Wow! Castaways Casino Imploded!

#5166503 - 01/11/06 08:16 AM (20 years, 8 months ago)

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Timber!

I was about 1000 feet away. The power of the explosions were incredible. (Would hate to be a in war zone!) It fell nice and clean - well, lots of dust and smoke, but well done.

Anyone else been up close and personal during a controlled demolition?

Republican Values:

1) You can't get married to your spouse who is the same sex as you.
2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child.
3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

Wait a minute!!! I know from watching the world trade center go down that when explosives are used to take down a building there is one big boom, not lots and lots of small ones. It must have been aliens that took down the Casino, trying to make it look like explosives, or something...

Anyone else been up close and personal during a controlled demolition?

We used to take the dud firecrackers after the 4th of July (had to get up real early the morning of July 5th to beat the rush) and break them in half then light one or hopefully both sides in a mini-firework display.

Or, you could jump on them which often did nothing but put them out or you were too late anyway but sometimes they would blow up when you stomped on them as they were burning.

One time I stomped on one and it blew up and tore a hole in the bottom of my flip flop yet my heel was uninjured. Does that count?

Nope. The explosions were sequential - about 1/2 second apart. There were about 10 of 'em.

Well, it was a controlled demolition, so no one was harmed, but the collapse of my castle in the sky was quite explosive.

BS girlfriend. :grin:

It had a solid foundation and explosives placed in several strategic locations can bring down just about any structure. Try again. And you shouldn't be defending rule infractions. Bad girl needs punishment. :wink:

You mean that book by Richard Bach?

His post was not an analogy to anything except a boys excitment on seeing something blown up and fall down.

Yes, yes, we've moved on from the literal "BOOM BOOM BOOM" to metaphorical explosion. Disillusionment is necessary destruction, aka controlled demolition.

On the same page now? :grin:

We could link this to our need to witness destruction and mayhem. Give us your take on this philosophical issue, Dr. Freud. :strokebeard:
