Video from CNN:

Youtube will most likely have some as well.

CNN's Flash programming apparently sucks, since it doesn't cooperate with FlashBlock ("The video timed out while trying to play." Well, DUH! If I wanted you to just play video I wouldn't have this thing to keep you from doing that, would I?). So skip that and go to YouTube, which does.

A short YouTube, building-falling-down brevity:

Lots of longer ones available with fireworks and whatnot.

Pinnacle is supposed to do a mega casino on the Sands site but they were threatening to back out if AC rezones Bader Field for Steve Wynn. I think the declining revenues, increased competition and the possible effects of the nonsmoking rules further depleting players is the real reason.

Here's a liveleak link to the implosion vid. They should have had Tommy standing in the basement with a cigarette lighter.
