It is there in the older LL view but torn out in the newer BEV view.

Nikos Goumas Stadium was a multi-use stadium in Nea Filadelfia, a west suburb of Athens, Greece. It was used mostly for football matches and was the home stadium of AEK Athens FC. "Nikos Goumas" Stadium is named after an old president of the club. He contributed to the building and later to the upgrading of the ground. It was previously known as "Nea Filadelfia Stadium" or simply "AEK Stadium".


Until 1979 it had a horseshoe-like shape. It was then that the double-tiered south stand was built, making it the largest stadium in Athens at the time This stand, and particularly its lower tier known as "Skepasti" (meaning "roofed"), is the home of the AEK ultras (called "Originals"). The capacity of the stadium was over 35,000 from the construction of this new stand in 1979, until the installation of seats on all stands in 1998. The stadium's capacity was 24,729 and was built in 1930. In 1998 AEK Athens decided to install 27,729 seats and reduced stadium's capacity from 35.000 to 24.000.

It was demolished in June 2003.]]> Case of the disappearing stadium

A huge fire has ripped through a six-storey paper storage warehouse in east London.

Flames shot 20 to 30ft into the air and smoke from the blaze could be seen across the city.

About 100 firefighters were called to the site in Twelvetrees Crescent in Bow on Wednesday night but say it needs to burn itself out.

Iron Mountain, the firm that owns the data storage unit, said it held "archived, inactive business records".

It is thought the building will be alight for between two and three days.

A spokesman for Iron Mountain, which stores and manages records for firms around the world, said: "Mostly it is old archives that were not required currently, business records.

"In most cases we wouldn't even know because most people they use paper documents in boxes - commercial business records."

He added: "We are just interested as anybody else to know what could have caused it. It was a fair-sized warehouse but it was full."

Four delivery lorries also caught fire, but no-one is thought to have been injured.

On Thursday, an Iron Mountain warehouse in Ottawa, Canada, was also hit by fire.

The fire at a warehouse in the Cyrville industrial area, believed to contain thousands of boxes of inactive records, was designated as accidental, the Ottawa Sun newspaper reported. ]]> 2006-07-13 - Paper warehouse destroyed in fire

Excerpt from the Las Vegas Sun:
"Las Vegas' 'most dangerous building' headed for demolition
By Dan Kulin
Once, the building was filled with doctors' and dentists' offices.

Today, though, Alpine Court is a haven for the homeless, one in which nearly every inch is covered by broken glass, trash, dozens of shopping carts and the occasional mattress.

Few doors remain. Graffiti covers the walls and many windows are boarded up with plywood. "Enter at your own risk" warnings are scribbled on the walls, and "go back sleeping" is scrawled on the steps of a concrete staircase.

At 4820 Alpine Place, the two-story complex is a stone's throw from the busy intersection of Decatur and Charleston boulevards, and a short walk from Arizona Charlie's. On two sides, the complex brushes against a nice apartment complex, where residents pay up to $1,100 a month for three bedrooms."]]> Demolition of vacant office building

October 19, 2005 - MGM Mirage will begin tearing down the 654-room property, which will be leveled to make way for the planned CityCenter, a $5 billion hotel and condominium complex expected to open by the end of 2009.

The Coney Island-themed Boardwalk will not be imploded; it will be demolished piece by piece in a process expected to take up to five months.

Superfortress RB-29A 91st Reconnaissance Wing, 311th Air Division, Strategic Air Command, crashed on the 3rd of November 1948.

Crashed at Higher Shelf Stones whilst on a twenty five minute flight from Scampton in Lincolnshire to Burtonwood USAF base near Warrington. After filing a flight plan, and being advised of broken cloud at 2,000 to 4,000 feet, the pilot took off at around 10.15 am. Around twenty minutes in to the flight the pilot nosed the aircraft down through the overcast to establish position. Shelf Moor rises to over 2,000 feet, it is unlikely that any of the crew saw the ground before they hit it. Apart from the crew of thirteen the aircraft was carrying sacks of mail homeward bound to the USA, and a payroll of £7,000 for the staff at Burtonwood.]]> Remains of a RB-29A Stratofortress crash (1948)
