IRVING, TEXAS -- A Tulsa company brought down a piece of Texas history Sunday morning. Dykon Explosive Demolition Corporation was in charge of blowing up Texas Stadium on Sunday morning. Watch the implosion on OKBlitz.com.

The company's owner says it took more than 2,000 pounds of explosives and very precise timing to bring it down.

"I've done bigger structures, but this is probably the most complex," said Jim Redyke of Dykon Explosive Demotion Corporation.
