Exclusive – The fresh face of explosive demolition

20 years ago, a three-year old boy pressed the button to initiate the explosive demolition of a bridge in Manchester. It was an experience he clearly found inspiring, because that boy has now returned to buy the company that carried out the blast.

In this EXCLUSIVE broadcast, we catch up with young Cormac McLean and with the ever-youthful Robyn Rushforth for a look at the past, present and the future of explosive demolition.
