In just a matter of seconds, 30 years of history along the Atlantic City boardwalk was reduced to a pile of rubble and a billowing cloud of dust during the implosion of the Trump Plaza.
There was a stillness in the air outside OneAtlantic, the pier overlooking the long-shuttered hotel, as the countdown began. Birds scattered as a rolling, thunderous boom overtook the air and the 39-story building crumbled to the ground, falling away like it was made of water.
Hundreds of people drove to Atlantic City on the blistery cold Wednesday morning for a spectacle the resort town hadn’t seen in 13 years.
