Moore, Okla., May 31, 2013 -- Demolition comes to a completion as the last walls of the Plaza Tower Elementary School come down. Seven children were killed in the school by a F5 tornado that struck the area on May 20, 2013. As demolition comes to a completion and debris is removed, rebuilding is the top priority.
