118-meter building was successfully brought to ground in the city of Xi’an in China’s Shaanxi Province. The detonating process took only 13 seconds. The building is said to be the highest structure to be detonated in China over the past few years. Construction for a commercial complex will soon start in this space. 

The culminating scene in Sunday night's premiere of Vinyl centers on the collapse of the building housing the Mercer Arts Center, a music-and-theater venue in Greenwich Village. It seems too good to be true, a metaphor for the vibrant-but-rotting city of 1973 and also the vibrant-but-rotting life of the lead character, a record executive named Richie Finestra.And although the screenwriters of the pilot (including Martin Scorsese, who directed and co-wrote it) have bent a few details slightly to suit the story, it's no fiction. The Mercer Arts Center, and the eight-story building housing it, was a very real place at Broadway and West 3rd Street that collapsed, in a very real cloud of dust, on the evening of August 3, 1973.

Like a lot of things in New York in the early 1970s, the building was a wreck, living on borrowed time. In the early 1870s, by contrast, it had been one of the city's great hotels, called the Grand Central.
