JAKARTA - After filing for bankruptcy three times due to debt, the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino, owned by former US President Donald Trump, was destroyed by explosion on Wednesday, February 17 local time.
Located on the Boardwalk Atlantic City, New Jersey, the hotel, which was built with funds of about 210 million US dollars in 1984, has been closed since 2014, after being sold a year earlier at a relatively low price, 20 million US dollars, as reported by Theweek.
About 3,000 sticks of dynamite were used to destroy the building, the first of three casinos Donald Trump owned in Atlantic City before they all went bankrupt. At exactly nine in the morning local time, the detonation began and it took only seven seconds for the building to be leveled to the ground.
Interestingly, this demolition process was witnessed by hundreds of people by implementing health protocols. According to Reuters, those who wish to view this process from the best point of view are charged US $ 10
Trump himself cut ties with the casino in 2009 after a series of bankruptcy filings. In fact, he demanded that he stop using his name in 2014.
This was done because it was deemed not luxurious enough to carry his name under the terms of the license agreement. The words 'TRUMP PLAZA', which once decorated the top of the building in red, were removed in October 2014.
The long-planned demolition, after the casino ceased functioning, caused pain to some people, for example those who had watched Mike Tyson's boxing match at the casino.
