The littlebrook power station was blown up at 8am. I'm in Gravesend & the house shook, thought something had come thru the roof.

8AM on a Sunday? How considerate to the local population.

RIP to the men who died in the accident there when it being built.

My dad had a good few years working there when it being built. Sad to see it go because of that. Still he worked on Valiant house and I look at that fondly as it was my introduction to The Valley and Charlton.

When built, didn't the final few workers get lifted off the top by chopper (no pun intended) ?

What a pleasant change to be able to praise someone for filming in portrait.

I was hoping it would topple sideways to catch the camera man out

I on the other hand live in Dartford and could see the power station from my back garden. I slept right through the demolition on Sunday. We heard or felt nothing.

It always amazes me how they can control the explosive demolition of a building so precisely.

That’s a good point. It’s not as though they can keep practising it.
