NEW YORK - The former jewel in the crown of Donald Trump's bankrupted Atlantic City casino empire was demolished Wednesday with 3,000 sticks of dynamite.
Closed since 2014, the casino was Trump's first property in the US coastal gambling town in which he came to own several properties.On several occasions during storms, pieces of its exterior have fallen onto the seaside promenade that runs alongside the building. In mid-June, Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small announced the building's demolition, after taking legal action over what he considered to be a danger to residents.Trump had already filed a lawsuit in 2014 asking that his name be removed from the building's facade, believing its presence there was bad for the Trump name and brand.
