A 183-metre power station chimney has been demolished with explosives in Rugeley, Staffordshire to pave the way for new development in the area.
As it falls, almost in slow motion, it leaves a trail of coal dust behind it.
The power station was demolished to make way for hundreds of new homes, a new school and employment space as part of a redevelopment programme.
The coal-fired power plant closed in 2016.
