  I have been a good boy this year.... I want to be the one who pulls the lanyard on the 3inch ordinance rifle that signals JD to push the plunger that ignites the dynamite planted around the building so it makes Marians job on the bulldozer easier!! Sounds like a plan to me!!!

  Make sure you place the cannon in the right position and know which way the wind is blowing.  Years ago, when the hated tower was destroyed, they did in fact allow an artillery unit to fire, simultaneous with the pushing of the button that exploded the charges that toppled the tower.  The cannon was positioned in front of and to the left of the VIP seating section.  I saw the video that was taken from the VIP area.  It turned out that the smoke from the cannon blew directly in front of the VIP area, completely obscuring the view of the tower as it went down.  For the people in the VIP area, it must have been frustrating.  It is ironic that they ended up with a much worse viewing position than almost everyone else.
