I remember seeing the TV clips of the people with sledgehammers and prybars, People on top pulling friends up and others running around holding chunks of concrete in the air and hoping that no one would get hurt!

Interesting thought?
Could it be, because it was gradual and didn't fall all at once, that there wasn't a real time to put to the wall 'falling'?

I was thinking that, unlike a "breaking news story" or an event that happens in an instant, it took a while to get used to and the changes came about gradually.

I think it would have been fun to have been there.

I like parties.
