This morning the cooling tower was imploded. I believe it was the first nuclear power plant cooling tower that has been imploded and I got to see it live. I grew up around the plant because my dad worked there and its about a 10 minute drive from my house. Problems 15 years ago caused it to be shut down and because of my dad's former position, I got a front row spot in the restricted zone (only about 500yards or 5 football fields away). It was like the 4th of July but 50 times cooler.
