Must have been a Trump casino. He's the only man I've ever heard that can bankrupt casinos.

Pulling page from Trump's play book, "It is said by many the he has mob connections". "He's crooked, lies and is has no ethics".

Nothing said was political.

Trump started and bankrupted casinos in Atlantic City, and his hotels in New York were built with mob connected interests.

He also hired foreign workers and provided them with NO safety equipment, until forced to do so.

Anonymous posters should find other forums to troll.

Did Trump hire and ill equip those workers, or was it perhaps the General Contractor who built the building?

Doesn't matter. He's the greatest living human being on Earth, and can do no wrong, according to him.

I'll look later.

Well they happen every week. The only time a controlled implosion is exciting and newsworthy is when it is NOT controlled. Show us one where they took out buildings beside the one targeted, then we'll talk.

I think my favorite controlled implosion fails are the ones where they're taking down a silo or smokestack, blow out the bottom, and the whole structure drops 1-2 storys and just sits there like it's always been that short.

Of course hotels built in New York were connect with mob connect interests,... Trump had to use union labor... Any twisted twit knows that... you’re just not to that level yet,

It can also mean (very informally) that someone has died. " Another one bites the dust" is a variant that just means that out of a group of many, one more person has dropped out (for example has been eliminated competitively, has failed, or has died)

Wow, that's terrible. Was anybody there, when it happened? It's possible Trump's casino. Could such a catastrophe happen in the 21st century as the collapse of a building, especially of a casino where thousands of people and tourists gather daily? Where have the authorities, were checks made on the state of the building? This is a blow to the casino industry as well.

It was an old unsafe building that had been closed for years...It was a permitted, planned, controlled demolition by a company that specializes in removing old unsafe buildings...They will no doubt build a new building on this space...This is how old unsafe buildings are taken down by demolition experts...bring in the bulldozers and dump trucks and haul the debris away, and start all over again...
