CDI again delivering another banger (well technically 3 lol) I love all the B-Roll and informational introduction. The demolitions once again looked flawless from an outsiders perspective, the way the buildings fell once again looked so satisfying. I once again found myself clapping after all buildings went down. Bit of a shame that that the camera at 9:00 felt like going out of focus in the most important moment. Love it 👌

I retired from UTSW in 2020, I spent innumerable hours in these buildings over 32 years. For the last 6 1/2 years my desk and cubicle were in Tower #1 (the third one felled). I watched the implosion on 10/1/23 from across the street. It’s probably not necessary to say that it was an emotional experience. I want to thank CDI for taking the time to supply some of the history behind the buildings. Excellent video.
