    The annotations are a great addition! A lot of people will be surprised how little explosive, carefully placed, took it down!

    Enjoyed the annotations. I love the whoosh some of these chimneys make when they come down. This one did not, but still a great video.

    You dropped it into a pond of water, that worked well to keep the dust down.

    The way it separated into three large pieces as it had its initial drop, don't think I've seen a stack do that before.

      I was referring more to that it broke into three rather than two, but above all, it broke than came back together before the tumble. Just interesting how that happened
