From 1993. Please excuse the video quality. The original master was lost, and this is off of a vhs backup copy I made back then. The Port of Tacoma decided to eliminate two 200 foot power transmission towers. One on each side of the Blair waterway for container expansion. The tower was to fall with the pull of a tractor. Instead, the legs twisted, and it momentarily looked like it was going to come towards us. With another presuasive tug, the tower did what it was suppose too. It's not as cool as an implosion, but it's still fun to watch! Enjoy!

The hilly city of Port Blair, also known as Emerald Islands, is on the east coast of South Andaman Island, and is reachable from Kolkata, Chennai and Vishakhapatnam. Named after Lieutenant Archibald Blair who tried to establish a colony here in 1789, this exquisite island was previously associated with British colonial rule and the Independence struggle.
