NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — An official says the implosion of a 12-story building in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, went as planned. The Tennessean reports that Steve Pettigrew, the man in charge of the implosion of the LifeWay Draper Tower on Saturday, says the demolition "went 100 percent perfect." The tower, with its massive stone crosses, has existed in Nashville for more than a quarter of a century.
