Humana's plans to demolish the 1920's 9-story warehouse turned into a star-studded affair when MTV came to town in 1993.

I lved in louisville until 1984 , when I joined the U.S. Navy and I used to see this building whenever I went downtown . I am glad that the demolition of it was captured in the movie "DEMOLITION MAN" for all to see !

I remember this like it was yesterday. The implosion was better than the movie.

I was really enamored with this building as a small child for some reason. Not sure why, I was only 3 when it was imploded.
