Christchurch's first building implosion is this morning. Can't Post

The earthquake-damaged Newstalk ZB building is being imploded at 8am NZ time, and TV3 has a live stream of it here if anyone's interested in watching. We're about 25 minutes away from implosion.

Their was an auction for pressing the button (the money going towards a ChCh theatre rebuild). A group of demolition companies won the auction and donated it to a child cancer foundation, and a six-year-old boy who was diagnosed with cancer four weeks ago will get to push the button. :)

Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."

"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded b*****d with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.
