Early Sunday morning (15/11/1998), each charged with 57 Kg of Emulex plus gold nugget boosters, the felling of five chimneys at Tsing Yi Power Station, Hong Kong. 10 secs in all (2 secs delay between each detonation), a record as this newspaper cutting reports; many thanks and all photo/journalistic credits to the Apple Daily for reporting the event. All chimneys fell exactly as planned, an exciting job to be involved in ! How lovely, not many folk get the chance to blow up their work place !!
