@07.00 on Sunday there was a couple of large bangs and a landmark at the start of Southampton was gone. The 198-metre chimney of Fawley Power Station was blown up – well down actually!
Something is missing.

That would have been something to film which is probably why it was imploded early on Sunday morning to avoid onlookers.

Great documenting Andy! It looks like you might of been the only person there? Has the station been decommissioned? That building almost didn’t fall into its self?
With it being so early It must of woke some folks up?

Interesting – I like watching building implosions – lots of work setting them up so no damage is around. We had a large department store downtown (J.L. Hudson’s) that was imploded back in the 90s. This tall department store was on a street in between other stores – they had some minor damage only to the People Mover, an above-ground rail system, but that was all. But it blew up debris which swirled around for days afterward. They shut down the block – I watched it on TV and the dynamite blew out different areas, then it just dropped down. In this video at the beginning you can hear the dynamite going off.

Thanks for the link. It is very odd going down to the shore now the view is very different.

I can imagine after many years it would be odd. That was a well-planned implosion of the Hudson’s building and it was in a very busy area. However, it was a beautiful, old building that many people had fond memories of going to Downtown Detroit for the Christmas parade, decorated windows with animated creatures – there are many people who wondered why it was imploded. The debris and dust you saw lingered for a very long time.
