St. Paul Xcel High Bridge Coal Plant Smoke Stack Implosion
Loading...
Uploaded by JakeBlaster7 on Jun 28, 2008
Xcel energy is upgrading with a significantly lower emission power plant. A 550 foot high smoke stack weighing (unconfirmed 5,770 tons) built 36 years ago part of St. Paul's cityscape was brought down today. I had checked a few locations to shoot this photographically with the help of others, taking into consideration the excursion zone which police would close off to the public and block traffic. I choose Cliff road as the closest spot that would be open to public, but, I guess, some were just below me I saw on the train tracks. Cliff road runs parallel overlooking Shepard road just below which was closed off for good reason. I had a few reservations if it was wide being so close to such a massive structure being brought down with high explosives, it passed 2 seconds latter. Hundreds lined the streets, the Smith Avenue High bridge to Harriet Island and other locations. Complete account @ thesuckzone.com/2008/06/28/june-28th-2008-st-paul-xcel-smoke-stack-demolition/

@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?

dipfuck here dosent know than an implosion goes inwards, not falls over
alexandermurel 3 years ago
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'.
