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
