Efforts to demolish the 11-story building started on Feb. 16, however the implosion went awry and only took down some of it. The center of the building, which held the concrete and steel elevator shaft, remained.
A stubborn structure in Dallas, referred to as the city's very own"Leaning Tower," still stands as of Tuesday.It was during that demolition the remaining structure tilted and gained its nickname"The Leaning Tower of Dallas."
Crews will now use a 5,600 wrecking ball over the next three to four days in an effort to bring it down entirely, according to Lloyd D. Nabors Demolition, LLC. The wrecking ball will be used on the structure from the top down. "Though not very dramatic or speedy, it is a safe approach to bringing down the remaining elevator and stairwell shaft. Safety is even more important this week, given the strong gusty winds," Caldwell told ABC Dallas affiliate WFAA.
