Bridge implosion
about an hour from austin they are replacing an old bridge with a modern one. they decided to implode the old bridge rather than disassemble it
this is the bridge just before the explosives went off

they trigger the explosives. it took less than 1 second for teh explosives to run in sequence the length of the bridge. i was lucky to get a shot with teh last couple of charges going off at far right
