Ever seen a power line explode? 💥 60 crew members. 3 steel lines. 1 explosive device traveling at 8,700 m/s. We've safely removed one of the world’s longest overwater transmission lines using a controlled detonation. The explosive device severed three steel lines, each 3km long, under 70,000 lbs of tension — all part of a week-long operation to replace a line that had reached the end of its life. | BC Hydro
