Former power station chimney demolished
Hundreds of people watched as the towering chimney of a former power station was demolished.
The landmark in Dartford, Kent, collapsed after a "powerful boom" from a controlled explosion, which caused a cloud of smoke at about 08:00 GMT.
Littlebrook Power Station was situated next to the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge and the Dartford Tunnel.
Aveley resident Phil Church, who captured the explosion on film, said: "You could feel the blast from across the river."
