Q: In The Wire, how did they film the scene where the Franklin Terrace towers are collapsing?

JonathanReezI'm referring to the intro of Season 3. Did they actually collapse an old building for the sake of the series? Or did they film the collapse of a different building that was going to be destroyed anyway?
