"Springfield" power plant demolition

[nibot]

Thanks to wealhtheow for bringing this to my attention: The huge cooling tower, the inspiration for Springfield Nuclear Power Plant in the Simpsons, at the real Trojan Nuclear Power Plant in Rainier, Oregon (near Portland), is scheduled to be demolished this Sunday. (From the FAQ: "In addition, while dust is not expected to create problems, it is best not to be immediately downwind at the time of the implosion." Hehehe.) You can see a pretty aerial view on MSFT Local Live (or whatever they call it).

I guess I should pick up face masks. I love living across the street from a hardware store!
