Atlantic City implodes its worst eye-sore [View all]
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/17/nyregion/atlantic-city-trump-plaza-implosion.html"The implosion of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino, the last vestige of the former president’s once-dominant brand in Atlantic City, N.J., took place Wednesday morning."
"The implosion of what was once the premier gaming destination in Atlantic City came less than a month after its best-known former owner, Donald J. Trump, left the White House after losing re-election and became the first president in history to be impeached twice. He was acquitted on Saturday of inciting the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol."
"The tower came down shortly after 9 a.m. amid a huge cloud of dust and an eruption of cheers."
“It’s an end of a not-so-great era,” said Jennifer Owen, 50, who bid $575 to win a front-row seat at a V.I.P. breakfast in an oceanfront pavilion with a direct view of the implosion."
