Home » CDI Implodes Former Trump Plaza in Atlantic City
It took 1,900 pounds of explosives and less than five seconds on Feb. 17 to implode the 39-story main tower of the former Trump Plaza hotel and casino on the boardwalk in Atlantic City, N.J.
The defunct casino, shuttered in 2014 and sold to investor Carl Icahn in 2016, was dropped to the ground by Phoenix, Md.-based contractor Controlled Demolition Inc. The main tower collapsed just after 9 a.m. without a hitch, CDI President Mark Loizeaux said.
