Life’s a blast
By Tim.On top of the usual Manhattan noise (horns, sirens, squealing brakes) that we try to deal with even in our 9th and 10th floor studios, this summer we’ve also had to put up with unbelievably loud jackhammering through bedrock as a massive foundation for a new high-rise hotel across the street is being dug. This week, they started with controlled detonations a couple times a day, which at least gives us something fun to watch. Our supervising producer Alan Kaufman took a little video with his handheld camera.

Is it bad that I find watching explosions like this fascinating? o_O
