The 3 remaining cooling towers were blown up this morning at around 7am.
And subsequently left up to 49,000 people without electricity after debris from the explosion took out nearby overhead power lines. Apparently that was more exciting for some than the towers coming down.

Some people are glad to see them go. Personally I'm not as they've been a local landmark my whole lifetime. You always knew you were nearly home after a day out when the towers come into view. I guess more ruddy homes will take its place, as if we don't have enough being built already in Didcot and other local areas!!
