Smokestack Demolition Goes Wrong (Pics)

The demolition of the former Ohio Edison Mad River Power Plant’s 275-foot smoke stack in Springfield, Ohio, went awry because the demolition crew failed to notice a crack in the structure. The collapsing tower knocked down a pair of high-voltage electrical power lines and smashed into a building housing generators. Luckily no one was injured.
