Demolished tower falls in the wrong direction

Demolished tower falls in the wrong direction

Springfield, Ohio, a power company was demolishing a unused 275' smoke stack when it fell the wrong way.  As the explosives detonated the 275' tower fell the opposite way that was planned and it landed on a building as well as some power lines.  The result was about 4,000 customers were without power for a few hours.

This is pretty crazy to watch.  I guess I can understand how an accident like this could happen but you would think that with this explosive company doing this type of thing everyday that this type of accident could be avoided.
