Early this morning and after 43 years of service (1962-2005) the "Four Sisters" stacks of the Lakeview Generating Station in the city's way west end were brought down by explosives in a controlled demolition. I came across this rather awesome video of the take-down on YouTube.

More info on the building, it's service history, and it's demolition can be found in the demolition news release.

(Video composed of 250 still photos taken by Mathew Merrett. Requires Macromedia Flash to view.)

UPDATE: Here's another neat video from a different angle.
