here's a good clip of it YouTube - Demolition of the Lakeview Generating Station - http://www.opg.com
thanks Discovery Canada
I was there for a while this AM, from outside the exclusion perimeter at Hydro and Rangeview you can't really see all of the site due to trees, buildings etc in the foreground.
There is an area with great sight lines well inside the exclusion fence south of Rangeview on Hydro, where Discovery and others are shooting from but that is available to accredited media only, CTV had their satellite truck there this morning.
I drove or walked almost all of the perimeter and the location where you can best catch the whole North face of the powerhouse is on the west side where the perimeter crosses Lakeshore Promenade.
I'd love to find a way to be allowed into the media area...
If all goes well, a series of 53 explosions using 726 pounds of dynamite will cause the remaining portion of the huge powerhouse at Lakeview Generating Station to start folding in on itself in collapse early on June 25.
The remaining structure, about 1,200 feet long, 300 feet wide and 200 feet high, will implode, causing a giant dust cloud that will drift out over Lake Ontario, if weather conditions cooperate, a spokesperson for Murray Demolition said yesterday at an information session for local ratepayers.
