It might look like an implosion but don’t be fooled.
Five 165-foot-tall reinforced concrete smokestacks were toppled yesterday morning in the River Ridge Commerce Center in Charlestown, Indiana. It was brought down as part of the demolition of two massive power plants that were built in 1941.
At first glance, we assumed this was an explosive demolition. But having delved a little deeper here, it seems that the demolition method was somewhat less drastic.
