From Guinness World Records.
You’ve seen buildings being demolished before, but not quite to this scale! Eight cooling towers have been demolished in one record-breaking moment at Cottam Power Station!
The eight giant cooling towers, each measuring 114 meters (375 feet) tall, were brought down using half a tonne of explosives in a controlled demolition carried out by specialist contractors Brown & Mason.
This demolition set a Guinness World Record’s title for the greatest number of cooling towers demolished in one go. The demolition marks a major milestone in the decommissioning of the Cottam power station, which operated for 51 years and was capable of generating enough electricity for approximately 3.7 million UK homes.
