Imagine seeing your local nuclear power plant be destroyed, and not knowing this was a planned demolition.
YouTube on every reddit post: FINALLY I FOUND A DOCTOR…

worth noting this was a coal power plant and not a nuclear facility. both types of plant use cooling towers like that.

This was the demolition of two coal-fired power stations in 2021. They were closed because coal is now too expensive compared to other methods. These towers together could cool 24 millions of water an hour. Tony Seba has a great talk showing cost curves of energy over time, here’s his most recent from [two weeks ago](https://youtu.be/7eJKTYc_v-I?si=uQ3l4QET-zrPNk4m&t=996).
The cool thing is the dude is laughing like he did it!
How long until the dust from that disintegrated concrete completely obscures that field?
Talk about instantly improving the view.
Id ve a shot dad not telling my kids aboit it just to see their reaction
Probably should stop playing for the day after all that shit got kicked up into the air.
That’s insane! I thought it was some Stable Diffusion shit!
That is the chuckle of a man who knew exactly why he was filming the towers and not the game
Genuine question, wouldn’t that be an implosion? If it exploded wouldn’t we see a bunch of debris flying off it?
It’s cool that Vincent Price was there.

It’s Football
They really should have had a Ref run to that side of the field, and stop the game before the demo. Every body would have gotten a good look at the perfect time.
Watching these, I always think of a video where a bunch of people were quite a way away from the demo, but a piece of rock flew through the crowd at pace narrowly missing everyone. Crazy
Reminds me of that tragedy.
If only they had timed a goal right before it exploded. It would have been like a Rocket League goal explosion.
Implosion!
IMPLOSION!
Waiting for the Homer “duh” meme where he presses the wrong button at the power station
Twin Towers fell even faster than this…demolition 101

Is the air safe to breath after that? If I was there, I would leave after the demolition. Many people suffered lung damage after 9/11.
Wish one of the players had kicked the ball past the tree-line just as the demolition happened.
“Oh sh!t”
Nyeh-he-he-he-he-he … 😈
