Addison Wesley Publishing building imploded

The video above is of the old 6-storey Addison Wesley Publishing building being imploded on Route 128 in Reading Massachusetts. The demolition was carried out by S&R Demolition and occurred at 9am last Saturday involving the placement of 200 pounds of explosives. As you can see in the video, the implosion worked perfectly.

Once the site has been cleared there are plans to build a housing complex consisting of 400 units. You may be surprised to hear developers expect to get people moving into finished homes on January 1st.
