Drakelow Towers to go tonight.

[FortJefferson]

Drakelow Power Station cooling towers are to be blown up/down tonight at 10pm. There is six of them so it will be quite a site. John

I would consider getting in the car to go and see that, but will we see much at 10pm? it will be dark.

I'll be watching it from home so I'll be able to see the outline ok as long as it's clear, which it's supposed to be, when they had a failed attempt a few weeks ago, it was going to be at 11pm, and we could see ok if you want to come down, phone me, and I'll give you my address. JOHN

Thanks for the offer John, but since my post, I have downed a bottle of red, so cant drive now

I work practically next door, but live an hour away. Hung around for a while, but gave up in the end and drove home, cos I didn't know anyone else who wanted to see it.

Only three of them have gone, so there must be a problem again

PS the other three have just gone.

I saw these go. Quite impressive.

Last ones i saw go were a few years ago when they down sized Rugley.
