UA implodes Rose Towers, makes way for construction of new dorms

UA’s implosion of Rose Towers on July 4 at 8 a.m. went smoothly, and the building crumbled in a matter of seconds after explosions took out key structural points. The dust cloud moved northeast across the Black Warrior River, away from the crowd of several thousand bystanders who gathered in the Riverside parking lot to view the implosion.
