After quite a beating this week, much of the northeast side of the building is missing chunks of concrete, while the southwest side of the building remains essentially unscathed.

A 5,600-pound wrecking ball on Friday continued to smash the former Affiliated Computer Services building one swing at a time. Despite its weight, the ball looks fairly small from the ground.

Around noon on Friday about a dozen people stood in a field nearby, taking pictures as crews worked on the building.

Lloyd D. Nabors Demolition tried to implode the building on Feb. 16, but the core of the building did not come down. Then, many believed that a wrecking ball could take down the rest of the building in just a few hours on Monday, but now the company says it could take several more days or even weeks.

“It doesn’t matter to me one way or the other,” Kelly Massie said.

After driving her mother to an appointment Friday morning, Massie decided to stop by to take pictures in front of what’s left of the tower.

The building has become an internet sensation since its failed implosion, creating fodder for memes on social media, and even drawing support for an online petition to preserve it by making it a cultural landmark.

“It’s a mess,” Zetta Smith of Carrollton quipped.

Smith said she was driving along the North Central Expressway service road Friday afternoon, and wanted to see it for herself.

“I’ve seen it in the news all week, and I just had to come take a picture,” she said.

Earlier in the week, The Richards Group advertising agency took advantage of the building’s mostly intact southern wall to project an advertisement for Choctaw Casino and Resort in Durant, Okla.

“Have better luck with us,” the message said.

Other messages have also been projected onto the building this week, such as “Love > Luck” and “Dallas Spirit.”

It was unclear whether crews would work over the weekend, or resume demolition on Monday.
