A satellite image captures the demolition of the historic East Wing of the White House in order to make room for a planned new ballroom.
The image was taken by Planet's SkySat satellite constellation on Oct. 23, 2025 from high above the White House in Washington, D.C. It shows the East Wing of the White House reduced to a pile of rubble as construction continues on the new Trump ballroom, a planned 90,000-square-foot (8,360-square-meter) event space that will have room for over 900 guests.
