Trump Plaza is no more. The implosion of the building that was once the centerpiece of the Atlantic City Boardwalk, but in later years had become a monstrous eyesore, was a little late happening Wednesday morning.
Somehow, the fact that, after all this time and planning, they still weren t quite ready to bring the remaining structure of the former casino down on time, was poetic justice.
But at 9:07am, a quick countdown was given and a terrific roar was heard from inside the walls of the remaining structure not already demolished in advance of implosion day.
Then, in less than half a minute, Trump Plaza was gone from the Atlantic City skyline.
