Hey this is coming at me... let's watch
I like how the one woman still stops to look at it, as it is about to hit the wires. To make things worse it does not appear that she runs perpendicular to the wires, but under them. I hate it in movies when women run upstairs and hide in the closet to escape monsters, but I guess this is natural instinct...

When they took down the old sugar silos at the Spreckles sugar plant in nearby Manteca, they decided to blow them up the same way. It was a big public relations deal since the property was going to be developed into a huge business park. They had the time set, and several of the local news helicopters were there for the filming. The mayor and a bunch of dignitaries were there, and they had even put on a raffle (for charity) to throw the switch to set off the charges. A friend of ours had a business nearby, so we went to watch the spectacle.
They had the countdown, the dude flipped the switch, there was a boom or two, and a few chunks blew out the side. The silos still stood. Seems they mixed a little better concrete back in the good old days.
The best laid plans.................

In 2002 they blew up an old 1911 hydroelectric dam here in Fredericksburg...actually 1/4 mile from my house. It was a big deal with John Warner and other dignitaries. The countdown starts, and there is a very disappointing blast. The mayor, in a subdued confused tone, says "Thank you Governor for setting our river (Rappahanock) free" Only problem was that 90% of 600lbs of plastic explosives didn't go off. The 2,000 people watching were complaining and so forth. The Army corps of engineers did their thing, and 2 hours later we had the real blast. I recorded it, and it is exciting to see frame by frame.

While I lived in Vegas, they dropped a casino every year.
They all went down properly.
Gotta wonder.
