@nonsulen really. you shouldn't talk about things when you don't understand them.

@msanclem not sure what comment I made. If you got my previous reply, sorry, I was having a moment at the time I read your reply to my comment. regardless. That old coal plant is being replaced with a better one which is good. Modern Coal plants are clean and safe, better than nuclear (danger), wind (sucks), water good but not enough rivers to dam. Right?

[kidspranqe]

as far as i can tell it looks like they ment to make it collapse on itself, not fall over lol

[ezrider55105]

Good angle to shoot from... shows how they missed the dirt piles that were supposed to break it up on impact

dipfuck here dosent know than an implosion goes inwards, not falls over

[JakeBlaster7]

Explosions that causes a building to collapse inwards on itself by gravity is not a true implosion either. 'Building implosion' is simply a term used by the demolitions industry that aids in getting permits from city commissions explaining what they are going to do with high explosives. They did not want to break with tradition and go with the term 'smoke stack blower over', or 'controlled fall over using high explosives'. It's just a spin on 'explode'.
