Homes were damaged and power lines felled after a blast of air and dust from a planned implosion of two smokestacks at a former western Pennsylvania power plant.
The blast occurred shortly after 8 a.m. June 2 at the Cheswick Generating Station, a coal-fired power plant in Springdale, located northeast of Pittsburgh, the Associated Press reported. The two towers - one standing at 552 feet and the other at 750 feet tall - came crashing down.
The blast broke windows, blew dust into homes, felled power lines and caused a power surge that damaged electrical appliances.
