Kids with High explosives.

See what happens when you try to calculate demo charges before you master 8th grade algebra?

Even though I knew no one was going to get hurt, watching that tower go down with those kids standing under the power lines made my heart palpitate. Scary.

Yep, mine skipped a beat when I saw the power lines directly above the camera get ripped loose...

You'd think someone would have measured its height and put a big circle on a map: We can't be anywhere near this circle when it goes down. Just in case it falls the wrong way.

The people were out of the way. The electric lines weren't. They were so lucky no one got in the way of those wires.

These controlled detonations have gotten so standard they there's probably software or canned designs for setting them. I'll bet the problem turns out to be that the guys putting the charge rotated these plans 180 degree.

Impossible. All you have to do is put the explosives on the round part right? I bet if they knew how to use a compass this wouldn't have happened...
