Chimneys collapse in clouds of dust after being detonated in Zhengzhou, Henan province, on Tuesday. In about 20 seconds, three 210-meter chimneys and three of the five 105-meter cooling towers that were part of a thermal power station were demolished. The plant, now surrounded by residential buildings and greenery, shut down in 2019. The two remaining cooling towers will serve as industrial scenery when the land is repurposed.
