Here is some facts and the dmolition plan on the "Sisters". Date is June 12th
[FONT=Verdana]The Stacks - The Four Sisters:[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Each stack is 146 metre tall (493 feet)[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Base Diameter - 12.2 metres (40 feet)[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]Each stack 2,136 cu. yd. of concrete[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]The Demolition:[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Contract with Murray Demolition - Toronto[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana][/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]180 degree arc is exploded out of the east side of the stack to create a void causing the stack to fall in an eastern direction[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana][/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Stacks will fall like trees at approximately eight (8) second intervals[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana][/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]They will fall to the east with the easterly most stacks falling first[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana][/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Each stack has a smaller ash silo adjacent that will also be demolished[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana][/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Sequence will be most easterly ash silo followed four seconds later[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana][/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]By the most easterly stack, then four (4) seconds later the next silo, four (4) more seconds the next stack until they are all down.[/FONT]
According to the article, these stacks were used as navigational landmarks. It's amazing in the GPS age that it still is easier to line your boat up on a landmark.
There is a project out for bid here that boaters have been using as a navigational landmark for years. I think it would be fun to shoot it just before sunset. There would be dozens of lost boaters .
