Didcot Power Station.

Who is going to go and watch three of the cooling towers at Didcot power station get blown up tomorrow morning? They are scheduled to be blown up between 3am and 5am.

I only live down the road, so I'm going to get up at 2am and ride around to find a decent vantage point. Got a few ideas if the roads aren't closed and they aren't too packed with people.

There was a campaign to get it done in the daylight hours so people could watch , obviously it failed

Yeah. They wouldn't budge on the time. From what I've heard there are people claiming their spot already!!

I watched the 4 cooling towers at Calder Hall Sellafield come down from the top of Corney Fell. They had been there over 50 years. Makes the place look empty now.

My cousin posted this pic today Loggy, I'm not sure if she snapped it herself or snagged it from the net, but she reckons they missed a bit

Thanks for that TopBuzz.

That's surprising. All that weight that came crashing down and the base is still intact. Just goes to show how strong that base is. I've got pictures on ABR of them just before they blew them up.
