This Week's Professional Development: Controlled Demolitions Operations
The Trojan Cooling Tower Demolition:
Imagine 25,500 tons of concrete, walls 20' thick . . . 2,400 tons of 2" thick steel rebar . . .
Sellafield (formerly known as Windscale) nuclear processing and former electricity generating site, on the coast of the Irish Sea in Cumbria, England:
Calder Hall was the world's first commercial nuclear power station.
. . . 650 tons of explosives . . .
Gelsenkirchen, Germany:
. . . 620 tons of timber for shoring and tamping the explosives . . .
Blow up of the ARCELOR cooling tower in Luxembourg.
Note: the tower was supposed to fall in the other direction.
"10 seconds to demolish" is not counting the better part of two months it takes to place all those charges.

so first and foremost, i'm a little disappointed in the blast radius of some of these charges. p = plenty means an extra case of c4 per charge. or maybe thats just in combat ?? and i think on the last one, had they thrown a light kicker charge up a hundred feet on the back side and not done a complete ring around the base they could have directed the fall a lot better... but hey, thats just my professional opinion. what would i know about it?
