Back around 86 or 87 I was dating a girl who was a photographer and she had a special pass to go take pictures of a building they where blowing up in Norfolk Va. I went as her carry my shit guy and got as close as you could get to see the building drop. It was cool to feel the explosions and watch the building drop but then came the wall of dust. At first we just kind of watched it rolling toward us but then you realize its coming right at you (think about the dust cloud of 9/11 but smaller). We grabbed her stuff and started to run but the the dust cloud caught up to us and we just had to wait it out. I'd do it again but this time I start running much sooner.
