LIVE RIGHT NOW: The eight-month demolition of The Spectrum

I take a perverse pride in the fact that this, the worst building-demolition video in the history of the genre, is set in my hometown. It documents the attempted destruction of The Spectrum, Philadelphia's shuttered '60s-era sports arena, and it violates every precept of building-demo videos: It's slow, awkward, and utterly lacks any anticipatory drama or final, dusty explosion. Plus it gets bonus points for the weird, Palin-y diction of the Fox News anchorbabe who tries to fill time by explaining that the demo is "a little uneffective… Y'know, we wanna bring you these pictures because, y'know, this is a building that longer is being used, and they're gonna be doing this big destruction of it… " Any way you look at it, it's Art.
