contact your local fire marshall and ask about dynamite and tree stumps.

Worked with C.D.I. On the K- cooling tower at S.R.S. It was a blast

Tamping dynamite is, indeed, completely safe since dynamite doesn't generally explode due to impact, or even sparking(though do note she uses a wooden tamper). Gun-powder not so much, and even less with a steel tamper. As evidenced by what happened to Phineas Gage.

Wow, they're like paper cups, it almost doesn't even look real! So satisfying! it might seem strange and it will probably never happen but it's on my bucket list to stand inside a cooling tower! There's all sorts of stuff I'd love to do in there like pop a balloon, toss up a paper airplane, shoot a flare gun up through it, and drop a giant bag of 10,000 squeaky rubber chickens inside! Wouldn't that be the echo of a lifetime!

It was a TV show on National Geographic or the History Channel, depending on market. As an older series (these programmes are now around twelve years old), I expect that the original clients are not interested in repeating the programmes any more, leaving the way open for a KZread channel like this one to license the content in order to bring them to a new audience and make money from them.

That's a crime to bring these towers down, they make great echo chambers.

There is Zero nuclear material in the cooling towers. .whats the big deal bringing down a cement tower? Now removing piping from the containment vessel is something else. Once it is down and in cooling ponds not so easy to bring down the containment vessels they are not radio active either.. That said.. with the amount of steel in them they are going to be super hard. High strength concrete and yes the steel. Likely easier to just de commission and leave the containment intact

Interesting documentary but I wish this channel could figure out how to properly do the voice over. The music is always just as loud as the voice, drowning it out. Also, while definitely interesting, I wish this documentary had just been 25 minutes. It felt like it repeated itself a lot.

Erik Andreassen no. The explosions go off inside the concrete legs. The explosion doesn’t “reach” the leg coverings. The explosions are just meant to destroy the legs and the coverings make it so the leg debris don’t fly all around.
