AED reviewing situation after stack falls in wrong direction.
The former Ohio Edison Mad River Power Plant’s 85 metre (275-foot) tower came down on Wednesday. But initial reports that the blast knocked it the wrong direction. The tower was supposed to fall to the northeast, but ended up going to the south — knocking down several nearby power lines.
The demolition company overseeing the project, Advanced Explosives Demolition, Inc., is reviewing the demolition to see what happened.
Power is currently out on the west side of Springfield, from Western Avenue westward. Klosterman’s Bakery is currently without power, as well as a Speedway store and traffic lights are not working. Police are on hand directing traffic.
