Trojan Comes Down...
The Trojan Nuclear Power Plant's cooling tower was imploded this morning at 7:00:12. I got up at 3:30 AM, made a Thermos of coffee, then met up with another photographer buddy of mine, Dave Lutz, for the drive up and a battle plan. We decided on an ultra-secret road/viewing area that only a couple of hundred other people knew about also :) Got all the gear set up and fired away like madmen while the whole thing took about 4 seconds to come down. Right after, some guy in the crowd said "Well, back to bed!" and that about summed it up. It was an interesting collection of folks who left their cozy beds on a balmy morning to watch an extremely short historic event. We went back to Dave's to view our take and then home to catch a nap before a long shoot this afternoon.

I was thnking about you this morning when I got up at 6:55 to watch on TV. I watched and then snoozed on the couch. Could you hear the explosion? Sorry about the long shoot afterwards, most dance studios blow. CYA later.
Nice shot, catching the smoke of the crashing tower.
Wish I could have joined you guys there. Oh wait, did you say 3:30 AM? :-)
Yes, we could hear the explosion, several infact, but it was delayed by a second or so after we saw the first puffs of smoke.
Thats one great capture!
