Check This Out -- Watch A Building Get Demolished And Rebuilt In 3 Minutes (VIDEO)

Video:  3 Years at the Same Place

Commercial real estate collapse...and rebirth.

It took 45,000 photos and three years, but the videographer was able to condense the reconstruction of a Paris office building into approximately 180 seconds.  It's architectural time travel.

Completely unrelated but check out this story I found today:

If you like this sort of thing, the first "movie" ever made dates to the 1850's. Someone made a daily record of a building demolition. Put the individual photos together & you can watch a building come down, 1850's style: Lots of guys with crowbars. Don't know where I saw it. Would love to see it again.
