Blasting of buildings Demolition movies Various

There are times when you see overseas news that the old building will be blown up and demolished. This time I tried collecting movies of such blow up dismantling.

Details are as follows. Destroy the cooling tower blown up at the Trojan nuclear power plant in Oregon state. This facility, which has a height of over 150 meters, is the largest in the United States, and in this disassembly it became news in Japan as well.

The merit of explosion disassembly (blasting disassembly) seems to be that it requires a short period of preparatory work and costs less expensive compared to gradually dismantling with heavy machinery. However, it seems that only in part such as hotel demolition of Tsukuba Expo site and Lake Biwa lake side is done in Japan, because explosive sound and dust are tremendously important for ensuring safety. Also the release that the explosive disassembly of concrete bridge was done for the first time recently.
