It has just been demolished with 3,000 sticks of dynamite.
The 39-story Trump Plaza in Atlantic City on the east coast of the United States has just been reduced to a pile of rubble.
A show loaded with symbol, less than a month after the departure of Donald Trump from the White House.
The former businessman's first establishment in the East Coast gaming empire, during his iconic era of success, the Trump Plaza has proven to be a money pit.
It had been empty since 2014 and little or no maintenance.
Since 2016, the two-building complex belonged to investor Carl Icahn, who was one of the main creditors of Donald Trump's Atlantic City branch.
In mid-June, in agreement with Carl Icahn, the mayor of the city, Marty Small, announced the demolition of the old casino, at the latest in February 2021, after having taken legal action because he considered the building dangerous for the residents.
