The Implosion of Market Square Arena, July 8, 2001
... And the Walls Came Tumbling Down
 The Pacers logo is clearly visible on an old satellite dish in the minutes just before the implosion. |
 The warning horn has sounded and the charges on the roof are set in the building's final seconds. |
 Charges detonate in the building's roof, beginning the process of implosion. |
 And just like that, the city's skyline loses a prominent landmark. |
 The pattern of the tangled girders shows the inward direction of the demolition. |
 If you didn't know better, you'd swear it looked like Market Square Gardens was open for business. |
 From the amount of the structure still standing, it appeared MSA proved a tough building to kill. |
