Last of the Portland naval oil tanks demolished

The video above shows the last of the naval oil tanks being demolished in Portland. A fitting end to the last tank being removed was Geroge Davey, a 99-year-old Portlander at the controls of the excavator. He was born the same year the tanks were erected.

The reason for the tank clearance is to make way for a new venue to help host the Olympics in 2012.

Thanks to Demolition News for finding the video.
