It's hard to believe this rather archaic experiment occurred when we were on the cusp of sending a man to the moon. Wasn't there a better way to get the same results?
I can't imagine that too many building owners would allow this experiment to happen on their property. I thought a city building was used, like a municipal parking garage,
but then I noticed the LOFTS sign in one of the windows.
I imagine it left a crater in the parking lot.

After another look around the area, the car appears to be falling from the 12-story former Western Costume Company building at 939 S Broadway. The image below, taken from Blackstone Court, shows how the side facing the parking lot looked up until around 2014. The California Market Center can be seen in the background.

As the building has now been repurposed into accommodation (see
urbanize.la), many of the windows have been filled, and the side looks totally different (hence why it took me a while to find it). The view to the California Market Center has also been blocked.

I can't see any obvious craters in the parking lot
