Giant Chimney Toppled In Australia

An iconic 200-meter brick stack was demolished in a controlled explosion south of Sydney, Australia, on Thursday. Thousands of people gathered near Wollongong to watch, as the thousand explosive charges were detonated to bring it down. About 250 nearby residents were evacuated and a 300-meter exclusion zone was enforced around the area for safety. It was demolished to allow redevelopment of the site for future use.
