Implosion drops Mohave Generating Station exhaust stack.
The 152 metre (500-foot) structure near the Colorado River in Laughlin, Nevada came down as part of the coal-fired power plant’s decommissioning process.
The plant opened in 1971 and generated 1,580 megawatts of electricity, enough to power appliances in about 395,000 homes at once.
It ceased operation in December 2005 after environmentalists sued over its pollution and it lost its fuel contract.
