Initial reports suggest demolition of Presidio Frei Caneca in Brazil went without a hitch.
The camera work is shaky, the implosion doesn’t happen until two and a half minutes into the video, and the resulting dust cloud obscures the latter stages of the blast. But this initial footage of the implosion of prison in Rio de Janeiro is impressive nonetheless, even though it’s impossible to tell if it matched the Applied Science simulation we brought you last week.
