3 grapplers on the left have attached cables that are hooked up to the upper deck. Welders cut steel supporting beams weakening the supports. The grapplers move back pulling the cables that pull down part of the upper deck. Photos taken on March 10th 2010.

The upper deck is starting to move.

This Part of the upper deck will flip over when it hits the ground.

This part of the upper deck is almost at a verticle angle.

The bottom part is crushed as it begins to flip over.

The weight of the upper deck helps crush the concrete as it falls.

The water canons help keep the dust cloud under control.

The skeleton like remains of parts of the upper deck litter the field.

The dust has cleared.

There were about 30 people taking photos and video's of the demolition.
