Demolition of LifeWay tower goes 'perfectly'

Everything went 100 percent perfect," said Steve Pettigrew, the man in charge of the implosion. "In downtown urban areas where you have glass and utilities sometimes, a lot of structure there...we just inspected it and everything looks great."

Todd Rice, 46, of Bellevue and his 13-year-old son Caleb were among many onlookers who watched the tower crumble outside the 700-foot exclusion zone.

The tower crumbled in sections after a series of loud bangs.

The novelty of watching a building get imploded I think brought us out here," Todd Rice said. "The biggest surprise to me was how long after the explosions you heard that the building was still standing, and there was this fairly significant delay before it really started to kind of fall down, which kind of surprised me."

“The building fell from one side then it just fell like dominoes basically,” said Leonard Zonn, 10, of East Nashville.
