A 129 metre high Philadelphia chimney has been safely imploded.
The long-awaited implosion of the Drexel Shaft in Philadelphia has been completed without a hitch. Explosives experts CDI toppled the 129 metre high stack at 7.45 Sunday morning (local time) to make way for a parking lot.
The old steam power plant was built in the 1920’s but was closed in 1964.
