Trojan Nuclear Plant Implosion Video

This morning, around 7am, I was laying in bed thinking about getting up to take a shower. I heard something in the distance that sounded like thunder at first. Then I realized that this was what I was hearing . . .

Driving down to Vancouver from Longview a few hours later to give a brief report to a supporting church, we could see the stubble left over from the old cooling tower. Here's a link to more video footage. And more. (I'm guessing there'll be more going up over the next few days.) Driving by this morning, it seemed like the absence of the cooling tower made the "Trojan helmet" reactor building look a lot bigger.

This afternoon after church, we met some good friends of ours for lunch. Lanny and Sherry live over in Eastern Washington these days, but back in the day, Lanny helped decommission the Trojan nuclear plant. Of course, as a former employee, Lanny and Sherry got front row seats to see the implosion directly across the river.
