That thing was freaking huge! The fact that they didn't need to use explosives is impressive.

How did they actually pull it down with wires?

Hi. In România, the power plants that we had, use to heat city's block bulding, and some factories. In England theyr main purposes was to heat cities, or just to produce/generate electricity?

You people are changing my history. These were the landmarks that i remember. One by one. Seriously this I guess is the so called progress that is change. One day all of us wont be here anymore, and nobody will remember.

Everytime I see a demo filming, I see if a city bus will stop directly in the shot the moment it starts to go down.

The premature closure of coal powered power stations before adequate replacement by nuclear will ultimately be seen as grand folly.

bruh what happend to the excavator at the cooling towers after they get demolished

It would have been better if I could actually understand how they collapsed the towers. Pulled down with a wire is erm - vague. It sounded to me as though the wire was cutting, guess I'll never know.

Tower #1: oh look some people- AHHHHHHHHHHHHH (falls) Tower #2: lol look at that thingy trying to collapse me. lololol- wait what’s happening- AHHHHHHHHHHH (also falls)

Wondered why I couldn't see them when I came back to the area!!!

OMG!!!!

Nice job pal..!

Bro this is your newest video?

'at's goood in't it

Breathing all that radioactive dust mustve been sick 🤙🏻

what edit: i think i’m the first one to be recommended this yet??

That was absolutely fantastic bit of demolition work.

Welcome to Chernobyl

Cooling towers: ight ima suicide

Dead zone

Dats 1 big cooling towa

Cooling tower 1: 2:03 slow motion: 2:35 Cooling tower 2: 4:32

Just like when you walk on something that is made of wood or plastic or really thin metal it shakes the bugs below or for instance if you were to fall

Use to love it when there was the towers there, sad they have gone. Just recent i went down the old abandoned tracks to the power station and got some old brake pipes for wagons and took then and there is still wires on the rails! Sadly, some robbers have nicked my brake pipes.

That guy has a massive set of balls.

as Vince from Desmond's once said...you see how God is good!😂😂😂😂 armen my brother armen to you fam awh awoh.😂 God is good fam God is good.😉

I miss the tower's 😚😀

I spent years taking care of these towers

miss it, what happened to to haunted building, were people got electrocuted?

spent most of my time stopping people nicking copper

I was the security guard there for a while, glad to see it come down

Another reminder of the past wiped out

My mate from Ontario Canada comes across occasionally, whenever he sees cooling towers from the road/motorway etc, he always asks 'Hey is that nuclear?' In Ontario/Michigan/New York state it is nearly all hydro, and they associate the towers with nuclear. But these are just venturis for cooling the steam to reuse it; as cooling water. Some will be used for heating the plant. Using hydro, there is a never ending great lake system going over a cliff. Here in the UK despite being an island, fresh water is in relatively short supply, and we don't really have the infrastructure to store rainwater!

Great footage. What an amazing way to take down such a huge tower.

At 2:48 look, it's a giant turkey!

the dog knew before of the collapse!

Some useless twats just cant drive! Lucky no-one was sitting there! These idiots should have their licence taken away before they kill someone!

Is the digger manned, or sth. remote controlled? It's very dangerous to be there...

You would have to have some major balls being in that backhoe.

Wow that is awesome

What's being built on the site

wonder if they will do this with Fiddlers ferry power station,that is near a canal and a river

What a Dingbat, lucky there was no one on the pavement!!!

last crash was Nov 2012. Council relocated street light after that crash because they were fed up of putting it back.

search for latest car crash.

the site was closed in 1994 and abandoned up until the demolition of the towers to set way for a new cleaner power station to be built there anytime soon to what ive been told by a close friend whos now working there cleaning the rubble up..

Brill rounds! Well done :D

believe me coal fired power stations produce vast amounts of electricity when needed to the grid wind power is useless as you cannot draft large amounts of electricity to the grid when needed nuclear we cannot get rid of the waste safely gas is expensive and contrary to everyones belief it still pollutes the atmosphere and we are running out of it.We have more than enough coal to fire power stations and now have the equipment to capture the greenhouse gases so whats the problem

begs to wonder why they didnt build two more boilers and extend the turbine hall to take two extra turbines and build six more cooling towers it would have been cheaper than building a new station
