Kaboom! Former Trump casino demolished in Atlantic City
Al Jazeera
In its heyday in the 1980s, the Trump Plaza casino was a playground for the rich and famous. But it had fallen into disrepair in recent years.
A spot on the Atlantic City Boardwalk where movie stars, athletes and rock stars used to party — and a future president honed his instincts for bravado and hype — was reduced to a smoking pile of rubble. The former Trump Plaza casino in New Jersey in the United States was imploded on Wednesday after falling into such disrepair in recent years that chunks of the building began peeling off and crashing to the ground. A series of loud explosions rocked the building around 9am (14:00 GMT) as spectators looked on from a distance. The structure’s collapse started almost like a wave from back to front until it went straight down in a giant cloud of dust that enveloped the beach and boardwalk. Overall, it took the building less than 20 seconds to fall.
