Century Old Building Blows Up
November 21, 2008 | Danville, Virginia | Vetting explained
The Dan River Dye Mill comes down after being up for a century. Demolition crews executed a flawless implosion as thousands of spectators watched and took pictures. One of the smoke stacks didn't land as expected, but no one was hurt or any damage occurred. It was one of Danville's oldest historic buildings, and in a matter of seconds, it was gone. History was made for Danville. It was our city's first implosion, and for thousands of Dan River workers, it was memory blown into dust.
