It is the latest building to disappear in the citys rush to renovate downtown. It had been vacant since late last year, when the city paid $15 million for it to pursue its expansion plans. The company that brought down the building, Controlled Demolition has collapsed 7,000 structures ranging from a Las Vegas hotel to a Soviet era radar station. Controlled Demolition also has knocked down buildings for movies, and helped write the plan to stabilize the site of the World Trade Center, retrieve the bodies and remove the debris.

The 7:30 a.m. MDT implosion was the end of a long night out for Metro State College student Adam Moore and his four friends. They cheered as the building fell, sitting on an open sleeping bag and drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon. Leaning back on her father, Rachael McCallister, 11, said shed rather be in bed. Her 13-year-old brother, Matthew, was wide awake, excited to see something that could be on the Discovery Channel.

I think its cool to see it implode on itself, he said. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DENVER Watching a 14-story office building come down In a heap of rubble Sunday wasnt an ordinary field trip for Manny Velivasakis. For the past seven months the civil engineer has been helping rescue workers at the World Trade Center enter the collapsed buildings safely. Hes sweated over deciding which pieces of the structures can be moved without triggering a further collapse and where cranes can be placed so they wont fall through to the basements. Watching the cloud of dust that blew across downtown after the TerraCentre Imploded, forcing hundreds of spectators to run down Speer Boulevard, was too real.

It was so close to the wounds so it brought back some memories. But It also means that life cant stop so we do what we have to, said Velivasakis, who works for LZA Technology, a division of The Thornton Tomasetti Group. He was in town to attend a American Society of Civil neers meeting on forensic engineering. The demolition of the TerraCentre to make way for an expanded Colorado Convention Center during the same weekend was a coincidence.

Car alarms and some scattered applause sounded as spectators ran. Crews had placed 257 pounds of explosives inside holes throughout the trapezoid-shaped structure to bring it down. It was expected to take 30 days to remove. Officials originally predicted the rubble would be five stories high. Its real flat.

That's they way we like it, said demolition manager Gil Jones, who was wearing a Been There-Wrecked That hard hat. It was tough to watch for some who havent even visited the World Trade Center site.
