Dykon explosives team to take second stab at BASF plant later today.

It’s chemical plant implosion Take 2 in Portsmouth, Virginia later today as the explosives engineers from Dykon Explosive Demolition Corporation take a second stab at felling the former BASF facility.

As this news video from WAVY.com explains, the first implosion last week succeeded in bringing down just half the plant. Engineers and local residents are hoping that it’s second time lucky later today.

It’s worth noting the critical review of the first implosion by five-year old local resident Bobby Scott 50 seconds into this news video.
