Uniroyal Tire during Demolition

Uniroyal Tire Plant

They don't build 'em like this anymore.

The Uniroyal Tire Plant was built to withstand aerial bombardment. During its demolition, I once counted the number of hits by the wrecking ball that it took to knock down a single column for a single floor.

Amazingly, the column withstood thirteen hits before it fell.
