This morning, New York City decided to dispose of the tallest building on Governors Island, imploding the 11-story building with 200 pounds of dynamite. Building 877 was destroyed to create more room for new public parks that are under construction, and the city decided to make an event of it.

The FDNY captured the moment and posted it to Vine:

...and now it's time for someone to get busy with creating GIFs.
