Video – When the water drops…

Demolition crews dropped a Plano water tower yesterday morning to make room for a new commercial and residential development, authorities said.

The 178-foot tall water tower near Texas 121 and the Dallas North Tollway was erected in 1985, but it hasn’t been used in nearly five years.
