- Controlled Demolition, Inc. (CDI) of Phoenix, Maryland, USA (acting as Explosives Subcontractor to Main Demolition Contractor, Jackson Demolition Service, Inc. of Schenectady, New
York) performs the preparation for and successful explosives felling Units #8, #9 and #10 Hung Boilers, Unit #10 SCR, and the 270’ tall Vent Chimney located in Parrish, Alabama on September 9, 2021.
Most likely residual coal dust from the bunkers and coal handling areas that was released as the bunkers and building disintegrated in the demolition. If there is a spark in the area when the air/dust ratio is right, it makes a nice fireball as we see here.
Correct.
The same thing happens in grain elevators, flour mills and sugar refineries when flammable dust contacts an ignition source. Pretty much takes a job away from CDI when it does!
I thought maybe a movie crew was there filming the demolition to use in a movie with all the big fireballs.
I've been watching CDI videos for years mostly from TH-cam but other sites as well. But using a drone takes us to the next level.
The production value of your videos is almost as awesome as your detonations!!! You guys are really stepping it up recently.
The drone footage keeps getting better and better. Interior shots looked really good.
Cool! The fireball from the coal dust certainly put this over the top!
Beautiful demolition, the flammable air/soot explosion was a nice touch!
Beautiful drone work! Thank you for bringing that over here!
And the coal dust explosion fireball was epic.
That boiler was explosive!
Seeing all those cutting charges on all the posts at ground level . . . Oh yeah, this is going to be spectacular
That drone gives an outstanding depiction of the magnitude of the job.
The overflight at the end really looked like a bomb had gone off…
Was it the aerosolized soot which ignited or was there residual fuel in the lines? Most demos don't have flammable components unless is for a movie shot for dramatic effects.
Probably the coal dust left in the ducts and bunkers that ignited
Nice to see the boxed in cutting shaped-charges initially. This was delightfully spectacular as well as nicely executed :)
love the new added soundtrack!
Thanks for leaving all that coal dust in there, made the demolition look way cooler
That chimney landed with authority
Certainly one of the more cinematic drops CDI has done!
CDI the BEST in the business!
Another great video. I like the fly throughs prior to the demolition
Whoever films these demolitions is sooooo extra but I love every second.
Now pass me the long handled tin snips .
Spectacular! The fly thought at the beginning 👍😎
One hell of a cleanup and a lot of money in the scrap metal and wiring. Thanks
Top video, I had to watch that one a few times.
Extremely good shots, editing and music. Good job!
Really a beautiful demolition! Wow! Hollywood should take notes!
Fire in the hole!
Literally. 🔥
Great intro! Do you guys hire pros to do your vids or do you guys do them yourself? Definitely like if the cinematic intro with the beats. Great!! More please
this channel has become art 😃
1:22 FIRE!!!
Outstanding performance
That was quite awesome 👌👏 Personally I would have loved it more as an implosion but obviously the experts do it for a reason 😉😀
It was imploded, Being a coal fired plant, the coal dust ignited into the fireball unintentionally.
Yeah, but it was still cool looking to see that big fireball. Added much more drama to the implosion.😊
Coal dust literally just needs oxygen to combust. Lol nice showmanship!
What is causing the fireball to appear at 1:21, 1:43, 2:05, 2:09, and 2:26 when the entire structure was demolished?
Nice job. GABRIEL & Victor
That was 🤯. There's fireball during implosion.
Was the fireball expected or unexpected?
Is that the coal grinding and metering equipment at 0:54? Did they dynamite it with all that stuff still inside?
Yes
Those are the feeders...they feed raw coal into the pulverizers (that is when the coal is grinded up) I actually worked at this plant till it shut down. This a sad video to watch but a very memorable one also.
Lot's of power plant demolitions. Remember these when your electricity service is only on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. It's coming.
I had the same thought a couple of years ago after an old coal-fired generating station in Florida was demolished. I actually contacted the power company who owned the plant about this, and they replied that energy consumption was down because everything is so efficient these days...meaning users and producers of energy....that the plant was no longer needed.
I found their explanation very hard to believe, and, like you, I think this ongoing destruction of our generation abilities will bite us in the ass sooner rather than later.

@@walterzoomie Thanks for the reply Walter. Very interesting indeed.
THAT WAS AWESOME!!
Some nifty drone pilotage there.
*_Was that coal dust that ignited after the kicker charges exploded?_*
I've seen pyrotechnics added for effect, but this didn't look like pyrotechnics. Also, nice intro showing all the charges wrapped in plywood. CDI is always the best of the very best around the world.
Anyone know why the boilers exploded?
I for one would like to see a few column cuts, meaning the ends of the main support columns, inside those plywood boxes you mount around the main columns, where they are cut by shaped charges.
Well done. Enjoyed it!
Nice secondary coal dust explosion!
What caused all the flames?
Mm Many memories there
totally wicked! 👍👍👊👊
CDI, Simply the best then there's the rest.
Nice!
Awesomeness!
I would be in work every day if I did this....
You'd think they could have salvaged more of the equipment from the building rather than just destroy it...
Nice coal dust explosion to top it off!
What was all the fire from?
Will they rebuild the plant?
Controlled demolitions are better with music
and fireballs. Just saying. 😃
I will look for that scene in the next batman movie 🎬.
ınsane! 🤯
Cool
😊
Hung Boilers was my nickname in college
❤😊😮
That’s a real shame to see more electrical power generation taken offline and replaced with…. Nothing.
Very cool video but disappointing direction this country is heading.
Nothing like a little flair 😂
1:24 OMG w(ﾟДﾟ)w
😳😚😭😠😱🙏
Looks like J.J. Abrams got involved on this one.
Weird and pointless to blast a super easily accessible place with machinery (=copper) still inside o.O
