Montage of several angles of yesterday's nuclear power plant demolition.

The plant is^h^h was a fairly large and visible landmark, on the Columbia river that marks the border between Oregon and Washington. You can see it clearly from interstate 5, the main arterial that runs down the West coast.

I happened to be driving up from Portland shortly after the demolition. The dust was still in the air. All the trees surrounding the area were tan colored, from the dust. I knew there was going to be a demolition of the plant, but thought it was going to be today rather than yesterday. Too bad I didn't know more details, otherwise I would have been able to leave on time to watch the implosion as it happened.

I'm going to miss that landmark. When driving to Portland, it was always my cue that I was nearing my destination. Now you can only see the containment dome, and you have to look a bit more closely to see that.
