On a cold and crisp Wednesday morning in Atlantic City, the tower of the former Trump Plaza casino and hotel imploded into chunks of rubble.
The 34-story tower and symbolic monument to former President Donald Trump's influence in the city folded like a deck of cards shortly after 9 a.m.

City officials said while the implosion was successful, a small safety issued delayed things momentarily.
"There was a drone being flown above Caesars and, as we know, it was a temporary no-fly zone," said Mayor Marty Small at a press conference that immediately followed the implosion.
