Tiiiiiiiimberrrrrrrr!!!

Early this morning my mom and I drove down to St. Paul to see Xcel Energy implode the smokestack attached to the Highbridge plant. According to CNN, the smokestack was 570 feet high and weighed 5770 tons.

Now, when they say implosion, I picture a structure coming straight down and collapsing upon itself, not tipping over like it did.
