- description: Three disused cooling towers at Didcot A Power Station have been demolished using more than 180kg of explosives. The explosion, which flattened 36,000 tonnes of material, lasted less than a minute and was streamed live online by Demolition firm Coleman and Company. Hundreds of people arrived at the site to watch the towers come down despite warnings of a huge dust cloud. The decision to carry out the demolition before sunrise has been criticised by some residents.
