I was there for the first time. The dust cloud was like the WTC dust cloud. This one was coal dust, and if it had found an ignition source the result would have been a short-lived glimpse of hell. I got away before it reached the highway. I worked there from 2008 until it closed. There was a lot of life left in there.
I used to use that tower as a waypoint flying back into AGC and was great for VFR flight. That would crazy to see it on the way out then look for it on the way back in and it be gone 😂
What was done with the generation equipment? A second life, or sent to China for recycling? What, if anyting went to the second chance store? Switches and relays, a hoarders delight, speaking of myself. Classic light fixtures, obsolete. Dials, whistles, and bells. I bet they even have the old indestructible wall telephone somewhere in the pile. If only I were only 4028 miles closer, the drive from Anchorage, I would be spoiled with my dream vacation to Pittsburgh. Too late. Might as well just go up the road a spell and go fishing in solitude with my dog hearing only birds and rushing waters. Talkeetna AK is the spot to see it all, and find peaceful solitude, better than Seward, if you decide an Alaskan escape, avoiding Anchorage which is just like where you're escaping from. Replacing the coal powered power station, one or two panels added to every power customer meter? On the walls where they can still work in the winter, it would be great to see that in the mix.
We can always tell people that didn't grow up here. They call Versailles and Du Bois by their French names and not the local ones. Latrobe throws them a curve ball too.

I was in my house when the 2nd implosion went off thought it was thunder. It was in a movie though.
I guess it is asking to much for the billionaire to put the dirt back up where it came from rather than flushing it into the sea

The second detonation sent the back half of the building with the coal bunkers into the river.

And Mexicans speak Spanish. See everyone can make an honest mistake.
@@spaceflight1019 Well, those are French names.
@@leechjim8023 I had to work in a town named El Sauz. I thought that it was Arabian but it was northwest of Mexico City.
