    LAKE CHARLES, La. ( KLFY ) — The Capital One Tower, the tallest building in Lake Charles, is no more.

    The building was imploded beginning at 8 a.m. this morning. Watch above as Lloyd D. Nabors Demolition takes the building down with a controlled implosion.

    The building has been a blight to the city, since it was heavily damaged during the 2020 hurricanes. It became a symbol of the destruction of Hurricane Laura, and has been vacant and unusable since.

    Came down the same way our government did with the Twin Towers. It was almost the same day. 🤔
