Imploded.
Wow, the Diagnostic Hospital implosion was big enough news to make CNN video. (Rice reckoning: the horizontal building at top left with all the windows is new Wiess college; the vertical building revealed behind the dust cloud is Sid Rich.)
Ted captured his own video from the event (frame at right), which seems to have drawn a pretty solid crowd to the soccer fields on the south side of campus. (The explosions seem a lot louder from the Rice side of the building, compared with CNN’s video.)
Other coverage: Some photos by Ian Rees, taken from the vantage of the BCM’s Human Genome Sequencing Center down the street.
Still more coverage (6/27): Cherry Demolition has footage of their own; several lovely photos [r2blue,irees] are appearing on Flickr.
(Previously on dsandler.org: Implosion, in which Google Maps points to the wrong building—good thing the demolition team didn’t use it.)
