It's not scheduled to begin until September, but whenever it does, if anyone gets any decent shots, posterity asks that you kindly post them here.
Victor E Sasson:
No explosives or huge wrecking balls will be used; 150 River Street and other buildings will be taken down with large mechanical claws, and pulverized to be used as fill to raise site 3 feet.

They haven't used them at any of the other 643 projects around town, so why would you expect them here?
ericmartindale:
None of the other 643 construction sites are so isolated that they COULD BE demolished with explosives or a wrecking ball. It was a reasonable speculation, and I was wondering the same thing.
BLeafe:
Well, for starters, The Record is located in a very un-isolated and active corner of the property, fronting very busy River St and having the Susquehanna railroad tracks right next to it.
It might not be the best place for explosives.
