Yup, it was nuts.

Got to see the on campus one burn probably like 8 or 9 times as a kid, but only remember a handful of 'em. The magnitude of the stack is something that definitely stuck with me.

Dangerous as all get out (obviously), but also impressive as hell

Glad the off campus one is much smaller and safer now.

You're 50 feet short. They started limiting height in 1970 after it hit 110 feet. The limit was pretty constantly ignored. In 99 it was around 60.
