Video – Keystone Towers felled…

AED drops Indianapolis eyesore.

A north side Indianapolis eyesore became history on Sunday morning.

After months of planning, Keystone Towers was demolished. The demolition involved detonating explosives in two buildings.

The city is paying Denney Excavating $827,000 to demolish the blighted apartment complex. Denney hired Advanced Explosives Demolition to handle the implosion, and Denney will carry out the task of sorting through and removing the rubble.

Six-year-old Eliya Kelly, daughter of the owner of Advanced Explosives Demolition, led the countdown and the plunger was pushed at 8:00 am. Both buildings came down in less than 14 seconds total. An elevator shaft remained standing, which was expected.
