A 17-story vacant office building in suburban Detroit has been imploded. In a matter of seconds Sunday morning, North Park Plaza in Southfield fell upon itself into a mound of dust and rubble. Oakland Community College owns the property just north of Detroit and auctioned off the chance to blow it up to the highest bidder. Graduate Andrea Wilson got the honor to start the controlled implosion after a person who pledged $8,000 chose to remain anonymous. A total of $12,000 was raised from the auction. Proceeds will go to a college foundation that pays for scholarships and other student programs. Oakland Community College has five campuses throughout Oakland County.
