Manmade Disasters
Have you ever seen a wrecking ball demolish a building or a structure blown up by dynamite? There is something strangely fascinating about watching the destruction of a building. In 1902, the Star Theatre building on 13th Street in New York City was demolished. The Star Theatre had been around since the Civil War. It opened in 1861 as Wallack's Theatre, and was renamed the Star in 1883. It had a rich history of excellent productions with some of the best actors of the time. It's estimated that this film, which shows the destruction of the building using time-lapse photography, was shot over a period of 30 days. Nowadays, how long does it take to tear down a building?
