WATCH: Leaning Tower of Dallas finally comes down

The Leaning Tower of Dallas, the nearly iconic remnant of a high-rise building implosion that went wrong, finally collapsed in a cloud of dust yesterday after two weeks of being hit with a headache ball.

The tower collapsed about 3:15 yesterday afternoon after a few last whacks with the ball swung by a high-rise crane. No injuries were reported.

The tower was the core of an 11-story building that was imploded with explosives on Feb. 16. The 11 floors surrounding the core collapsed, but the solid concrete core containing the stairway and elevator shafts remained standing at an angle. The demolition contractor has been whacking away at it ever since with a 5,600-pound wrecking ball.

There have been numerous memes all over social media since this all happened.
