Back in the day, there used to be a website called "implosionworld.com" (NO LONGER ACTIVE. all aspects (except for the videos) of the site has been archived through wayback machine). The site used to hold info about building implosions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_implosion). It was owned by Protec from Rancocas, nj (https://web.archive.org/web/20030501153316/http://www.protecservices.com/). The implosionworld site used to have a gallery page (https://web.archive.org/web/20220215235138/http://www.implosionworld.com/gallery.htm), which featured implosions from various types of structures, such as bridges, warehouses, and housing projects. However, a majority of those featured do NOT have any media recording available online, and a google search for some leads with no results, leading the implosions featured on the gallery page to be lost. Most of the photo's were from Protec's implosion recordings, which were only known to be used in documentaries. Some have been uncovered (EX: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVDrxbqVnu0), while the rest are lost. I am posting this here so more people can be aware. If you find any, let me know in the thread.
