Hi there! In case you didn't know, I created newgrounds. No, it wasn't made by some giant company - just some dumb kid who now has help. I also co-founded the Behemoth; we made Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers. Icon by Pegosho, banner by OmenaKettu.

Drexel Shaft

Posted by TomFulp - November 16th, 2009



Nope, that isn't a motion tween - that's actually the Drexel Shaft getting knocked down by explosives!


A bunch of us met at 6am this past Sunday to watch the demolition of the infamous Shaft, a building that has long embodied the administrative experience at Drexel University, our Alma Mater.


Back in college I made a cartoon about it for Tim's site, drexelshaft.com.


We got front row seats on the roof of the Cira Center parking garage, right across the train tracks (see yellow arrow). Some police tried to kick us off the roof because it was considered "unsafe" but they gave up on the existing crowd and just stopped letting new people come up. It was pretty damn epic.

Cool

cool story bro.

haha sweet...but..

one shaft falls, all our shafts fall

I love taking the slider and just running it back and forth.

Whoa, man

Hide and Seek coming on made me laugh. But the stupid blue ad which came up as the dramatic bit was starting ruined it a little.
Still, sweet.

I'll demolish your shaft anyday, Tom :3

surely there's a safer way to bring down a tower than to just have it slap the floor like that.
That's cool of the police to give up. Fight the power.

Pretty strange how a piece of music can change something so much. With that song it seemed really sad.

That was epic. I don't have any emotional attachment to it at al but the music made me feel like I did :(

Cool Beans

HOLY SHIT YOUR 31?! you look 24 or something

OH WOOOOOOOW :D

the video looks fake until you see the smoke...
interesting thought

lmao it totally looks like a tween what the fuck

that would have been pretty cool to not know anything about that and just waking up and seeing that thing coming down.

how much longer are you going to have the horrible banner and profile pic?

TOM, YOU CAN PULL OFF USING THE WORD "EPIC" AND NOT SOUND LIKE A COMPLETE MORON

<3

it's like an add for impotency!

Looks like a motion tween to me
