As the Texas Department of Transportation imploded two spans of the 183 flyover Saturday, a 6-year-old was behind the demolition. Archer Foltermann was deemed the "Master of Demolition" Saturday as he hit the button that brought down the bridge. TxDOT partnered with Make-A-Wish, letting Archer push the button. Archer, a Leukemia survivor, was diagnosed at just 10 months old.

 

"I blew up a bridge," Archer laughed as he said that's what he would tell all his friends.
