This is the short version of the NGS stack implosion. I recorded this live on the early morning of December 18, 2020.
This is the video I recorded the day the stacks came down on 12-18-2020. That was a long day but I wanted to get this video out even though I was starting to lose my voice. It was surreal to witness the stack demolition live. A lot of memories came to mind as I witnessed it.
