Eggborough Power Station

The only thing better than one cooling tower imploding is four at once. We start our tour of toppling across the pond with the Eggborough Power Station in the UK, which despite the cooling towers that most people associate with nuclear power, was actually a coal plant. The massive Yorkshire facility actually featured 12 cooling towers that came down in two rounds of implosions earlier this year. This is the second implosion, which took place in October. In addition to the various angles and debris pinging off the cameras, this footage gets bonus points of the English-accented green light to “fire now, fire now.”
