All stories about "Destructoporn"

HUNTERS POINT—Yesterday's tip on the CurbedWire prompted reader Plug 1 to forward along the above destructoporn of a boiler implosion at the Hunters Point power plant. Plug's commentary on the big bang: "boooom!!! well, not as big as your mushroom cloud, its sure to pollute the BV-HP sector even more. i didnt see any dust/asbestos containment [sic]. eeeek."

Hott post-fire destructoporn: The San Francisco Unified School District building on Franklin Street went up in smoke a couple of days back. From a reader who sent along the snaps:

This is the scene at SFUSD Headquarters. I saw NOTHING about this in the local news papers... did you all? According to the security guard, the damage is pretty intense and fire damage is in the first floor mostly. But, looks as if there is QUITE a bit if drying doing on, as evidenced by the flying tubes coming out from several windows in different parts of the building. Sprinkler damage? Funny how a house fire in Vallejo (displaces one) warrants front-page headlines, yet a disaster at the SFUSD.... nothing?

Glorious destruction continues at the corner of Howard and Hawthorne Streets, the future location of One Hawthorne, SoMa's newest 24-story condo project. Some old painted-brick warehouse signage has been revealed, and we absolutely love it. It'd be amazing if the architect or developer decide to actually integrate this gem into the design of the place. Be sure to check out the close up.
