Power station chimney brought down
Crowds of people gathered to watch the demolition of a 650ft chimney at Fawley Power Station. The enormous structure, which has stood at the entrance to Southampton Water for half a century, was reduced to rubble using a controlled explosion. Driving wind and rain meant people huddled together wrapped in warm coats and hats at Hamble Point. Cheers went up as the chimney came down in clouds of smoke and debris.
