Explosive experts say they are “extremely thankful” that no-one was hurt after an 83m tower they were demolishing collapsed in the wrong direction.
The Mad River Power Plant tower in Springfield, Ohio, was intended to fall into a cleared area to its east, the Dayton Daily-News reports.
Instead the tower fell south-east, knocking out two power lines and smashing another building that houses power generators, cutting electricity to 4000 homes in the city.
