This drone video was captured Fly By Chicago (owned by WIU Alumnus Dan Barker). A large crowd showed up to bid farewell to the building that many WIU Alumni called home over its 50-year life. Alumni returned to campus from as far away as California to watch the event live.

Western alumnus Dan Barker was on campus Saturday for the Higgins implosion. He also created an awesome video of Western's campus. Enjoy this sky tour!

If you ever get a chance to see these gals, it is worth the trip. I saw them at the WWII Museum in New Orleans last year. Incredible performance. Happy Birthday America!

Interesting article in today's McDonough County Voice about the prep-work done before the Higgins implosion.

Higgins demolition went ‘by the numbers’.
