Martin Tower Will Come Down 2019

Sad news today. March 7th, 2019, it was announced they will implode the Tower, instead of dismantling it. They expect this to be done at the end of April or possibly May. They will have it fall/collapse toward the Burnside Plantation.

Thoughts
I am not happy at all. I did not think they were going to do this. When I created "Save Martin Tower" in 2013, I knew it was a thought about taking the Tower down. I had lots of hope. Many deemed the building iconic and historic. When it was announced the Tower was intended to be demolished, I still had some hope. Even so, I had thought it would be dismantled. One reason, the building is very strong. And two, many have said it is hazarous and dangerous to implode the building near so many streets, homes, workplaces. And all of the asbestos or dangerous debris may not be gone completely.
