TROUBLESOME PYLON MEETS EXPLOSIVE END

THIS is the EXPLOSIVE moment when a 50 metre high pylon came crashing down to earth in a rural field. The giant structure took just seconds to smash into the ground after it was obliterated with explosives last Sunday morning in the Dwyryd estuary, North Wales. The tower began to lean when one of its foundations eroded.
