Lafarge Chimney Demolition today
Well, we went up to Northfleet today to see the two 550ft towers of the Lafarge Cement Factory being demolished and I gotta tell ya, iut was an awsome sight and probably something I won't see again in my lifetime. To make it even better, Richard Hammond from Top Gear was there to destroy the Lacetti they use for their 'Star in a reasonably priced car' section. I'll post up a complete stitched video later to show the Lacetti at the foot of one of the towers and also Hammond himself who wasn't far away from us
For now though, I'll leave you with this short version of the actual time the towers came down. We were originally stood over by the railings (by the bus stop) which was the best position possible but the ol' bill moved us to the other side of the road because of a very, very small chance of a landslide caused by the shockwave....spoil sports Still, we still had a very good sight from where we were You'll have to forgive my neanderthal noises as they come down but it really was an awsome sight and the noise when the first chimney hits the floor was bone shaking YouTubed in HD here

We drove an hour and a half to see it I spotted it on the news the other night and thought it'd be great to see and the kids loved it too. The noise the first one made when it came down scared one of my girls that much, she burt into tears .

The man was a legend RIP! Was a nice blast up the A21 Although, seeing as I haven't had the work done on my car yet, she leaked a nice bit of oil outta the crank seal again

Here's a slightly longer YouYube video I uploaded which includes footage of the Top Gear Lacetti and it's very own Richard Hammond
