Iconic Capital One Tower demolished, crowd gathers ahead of structural collapse, watch
In a matter of seconds, the iconic Capital One Tower in downtown Lake Charles was reduced to rubble, leaving onlookers in awe of the spectacle.
"I didn’t expect to feel the ground shake like that," said one Lake Charles resident, who experienced the earth trembling beneath her feet during the implosion. The loud booms were followed by a thick cloud of dust that enveloped the area for several moments.
For locals and visitors, the absence of the tower marks a significant change in the city’s landscape.
The 22-story skyscraper had been a dominant feature of the southwest Louisiana skyline for decades but was severely damaged by Hurricane Laura, a Category 4 storm. After years of deliberation about its future, the property owner opted for demolition instead of a costly repair.
In less than 20 seconds after detonation, the once-mighty structure was reduced to a twisted heap of debris along the banks of Lake Charles.
