Explosion injures 3 in bakersfield today
This morning the wife and I got up at 530 am to watch the implosion of a local power plant across the way from where we live. It hasnt been used from the early 90's.
Thousands of people showed up to watch it go. Here is a article from the local paper The Bakersfield Californian here is a few videos of the implosion here is the video i took with the commentary from the wife This is the only excitement we get in Bakersfield

Holy scheetsnacks! Didn't they set up any sort of exclusion zone?
At least three people were injured in the parking lot of Lowe’s on Coffee Road, including a man facing “one obvious amputation, possibly a second,”

Thread title should be, "I personally witnessed an implosion today. It was steel wrenching."

They do that in Veags all the time to take down the old cheesy hotels. The biggest issue is getting the hazmat out, lead asbestos and such....except they use shaped and directional charges......fuchen amateurs.....

Now in 993 land ...

They usually wrap the explosion sites in Kevlar blankets or bring in mounds of sand to catch shrapnel. Definitely did not do this one properly, if **** could fly that far.
