Tower 1515 - Watch the Implosion on Valentine's Day

For all of you who just are bored shopping for the traditional heart shaped box of candy on Valentine’s Day, give your sweetie a thrill--you can always drive over and watch the implosion of Tower 1515 at 9am Sunday. What about renting a helicopter? I haven’t read anywhere that the waterway would be off limits only that you had to be 750 feet away, but that might be the problem. The event is expected to draw thousands of curiosity seekers who have been looking at this wreck of a building for 5 years now. Just a note--don't blink twice because the building will be down in 6.5 seconds!

Doug Wise, Construction Services Division for the City of West Palm Beach says, “There’s no facilities, there’s no bathrooms or anything like that. We can’t make it a public event.”

The final demise of Tower 1515 will be something to celebrate after all these years but honestly gals, wouldn't you rather have that box of candy?
