BATON ROUGE, La.—An abandoned, 22-story building in Lake Charles, Louisiana—once an icon in the city that became a symbol of destruction from hurricanes Laura and Delta—was imploded Saturday after sitting vacant for nearly four years.
The Hertz Tower crashed down in a matter of seconds after a demolition crew set off a series of explosions inside. The tower fell in a large cloud of dust into a pile about five stories high.
