Demolition!!
Posted in Gossip on 08/29/2006 06:59 am by enjanerdMy sister and I have been talking for weeks about going to see the destruction of the Wilson Bridge. We ended up deciding last night not to go though. The weather was kind of muggy and the viewing point was only intended to hold about a hundred people, so it was suggested we get there around 9pm. Explosions are cool and all, but waiting 3 hours, potentially in rain, for a not that awesome view of events didn’t seem worth it.
I was, however, awake around 12:30 last night when I heard a really loud noise outside. It was different from the highway noises we usually hear, but I didn’t know what it was. At first, I thought it was the bridge explosion, but it looked at the time and it was half an hour later than scheduled. But I just read in the Post that the demolition didn’t happen until 12:30. I’m pretty sure the noise I heard was the explosion. Too bad I don’t live on a higher floor. We might have been able to see it from here.
