Nope...it's gone. Sorry you missed it but during the recent cold weather of Miami, too much ice formed on the skyscrapers causing them all to collapse since they were built for a tropical climate.

Those two fellas had an earlier web video sensation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I5XXFqOUyA
Anyways, I was at Joe's Stone Crab about 3 weeks ago and met them, and now know why they were in town.

That was awesome. It reminded me of this video which happened to be in the window after the first video finished.
