German Bridge Crumbles After Detonation
A highway bridge in northeast Germany was detonated on Sunday morning,February 6, in an "exceptionally exciting" operation.
It was described as exceptionally exciting because the bridge is located in a bend and the upper parts consist of several parts. And it worked out well, one of the witnesses has said after the demolition.
The controlled detonation had to be monitored closely to prevent damage to the new bridge which was built alongside the old one and has recently been inaugurated.
For safety reasons, the crowd of curious bystanders had to maintain a distance of 300 metres or 984 feet, the area was temporarily sealed off and no traffic was allowed to cross the new bridge.
On a Sunday morning, a small explosion went off to scare off birds, a countdown was initiated and two minutes later 120 kilograms of explosives were ignited.
The bridge, measuring 485.5 metres or 1593 feet long and 7,236 feet high, has collapsed cleanly according to plan.
Before detonation, higher parts of the bridge had been dismantled in order to better control the collapse. It was the first time ever a bridge of that height was detonated in Germany.
