The explosions that rocked Michigan Avenue on Saturday were the kind you might want to cover your ears for, but definitely not your eyes.
The awesome stunts, part of the three-day “Transformers 3” shoot on Michigan, took place right in front of Pioneer Court. The first two explosions went off, one after the other, for about eight to 10 seconds, shooting fireballs, debris and sparks into the air. The third was brief, but still noisy.
Mayor Richard Daley was on hand for the first spectacle and watched director Michael Bay’s version of fireworks from the sidewalk by Pioneer Court.
Earlier in the day, onlookers got a glimpse of a different kind of stunt — the kind that involves people jumping off of the 92-story Trump Tower. The five base jumpers taking part in the scene soared over the Michigan Avenue Bridge and onto North Wacker Drive, making what most would find terrifying look easy.
