Nine nearly simultaneous explosions were triggered to bring the 42-year-old building down, leaving the debris for workers and heavy equipment to remove. The implosion was rated a success; there were no reports of damage to nearby buildings or city utilities. Scores of people found vantage points outside the 15-block safety zone to see the event live, while others watched on TV or via Dominion’s lives- tream. Dominion is contemplating plans to construct a new building on the site. Already, the company has erected the first of two towers next door at 600 E. Canal St. and has approval to build a matching tower on the site where One James River Plaza stood.
