Good grief. That sure was a long run of power lines taken out. The owner probably saw dollar signs and insurance claims at that moment. The cameraman seemed real close to the falling cables. Sounds like the charges went off out of sequence.... darn. I was once on a crew that dropped a rusted 300' Rohn 45. One person torched the main set of guy wires. The guy didn't snap as expected and the tower did a strange dance as it fell. It's amazing how well a tall tower will stand with most of its guys unbolted.

Glad the camera was on a tripod and not a shity handheld shot and the camera shaking and out of focus and losing the shot as the smoke stack came tumbling down. Those lines just snapped.

The power might have already been burned off by the time the wires fell, luckily for them.
