Implosion Brings Down Sappi Paper (MI) Mill (Includes Video)

After more than 100 years, the Sappi Paper Mill along the banks of Muskegon Lake (MI) is no more. The plant was brought to the ground in seconds after one large "boom" Sunday morning.

No one who 24 Hour News 8 spoke to was worried about anything going wrong in the implosion. The delay seemed to be the only hiccup in the demolition. After the earth shaking explosion, greeted by cheers from spectators, the building fell to the north as planned.
