FERRYBRIDGE COOLING TOWERS DEMOLITION

Watch these iconic towers fall with planned demolition explosions.
The video is a fitting tribute to the towers and although they are gone, this video will be there for future generations to watch. We hope you enjoy watching it.
Work began at the site in 1962 and was completed by 1968. On 1 November 1965, three of the cooling towers collapsed due to vibrations in 85 mph winds. Although the structures had been built to withstand higher wind speeds, the design only considered average wind speeds over one minute and neglected shorter gusts. Furthermore, the grouped shape of the cooling towers meant that westerly winds were funneled into the towers themselves, creating a vortex. Three out of the original eight cooling towers were destroyed and the remaining five were severely damaged. The towers were rebuilt and all eight cooling towers were strengthened to tolerate adverse weather conditions.
Commission of Ferrybridge C began in 1966: one unit was brought on line, feeding electricity into the National Grid, on 27 February 1966. Following the cooling tower accident, it was expected that the station would not be opened for some time after the scheduled date. However, it was possible to connect one of the remaining towers to the now complete Unit 1. The reconstruction of the destroyed towers began in April 1966. (extract from Wikipedia)
