Video – Potash demolition – Take 2…

Mine building falls at second time of asking.

Demolition experts made a second attempt to bring down a giant potash mill in New Brunswick Thursday.

For more than thirty years, the mill building has towered 60 metres above the rural landscape. However, the potash mine has been inactive for a decade.

The first demolition was planned for 8 am. last Saturday. More than 100 people from the surrounding areas came out to watch.

One explosion was heard and smoke rose from the building, but it didn’t fall.

Officials say about half of the explosive charges didn’t work.
