A controlled implosion by Steve Pettigrew Inc., a demolitions contractor brings down the 16-story former Western Youth Institution facility in Morganton, North Carolina, July 11, 2020. North Carolina Army National Guard Col. Rodney Newton, North Carolina National Guard (NCNG) Construction Facilities Management Officer was invited to trigger the detonator that started the controlled implosion that brought down the building to be cleared for the construction of a new NCNG Regional Readiness Center by Hickory Construction and sub contractor D.H. Griffin Companies. “I grew up a combat engineer but in the Guard we never brought down anything this big,” Newton said. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Staff Sgt.
