Posted 3:29 PM 7/23/2012 : Caught on Cam: Florida hospital implodes

(NBC NEWS) - A Florida hospital was reduced to rubble in less than ten seconds early Sunday morning.

Ormond Memorial Hospital provided service for more than 40 years.

A new facility opened a few months ago, and the empty building was no longer needed.

A series of controlled detonations collapsed the supporting columns, and the seven-story structure came down exactly as planned.

The implosion was held Sunday morning to avoid disrupting traffic and nearby businesses.
