The Sheraton Crossroads Hotel in New Jersey was demolished in a controlled implosion on Saturday morning, delighting hundreds of spectators who gathered to witness the event. The 22-story glass and steel hotel, which opened in 1987, had been a local landmark for over three decades before permanently closing in December 2023. The coordinated demolition, executed just after 7:30 a.m., was heard across several towns in New Jersey. Initially planned for warehouse construction, developers are now weighing alternative options for the site.
The implosion, which drew scores of people with cameras set up to catch a glimpse, was coordinated by several agencies, including the state Department of Labor, according to the outlet.
The massive complex was demolished just 15 seconds after detonation, and was met by cheers from the crowd, video showed.
