Super slow motion video of a Texas bridge implosion

It's always enjoyable to watch an implosion video. But typically they are run at normal speed or in standard slow motion. If you're lucky you get multiple angles to view it from.

The Marble Falls bridge demolition is different, though. As the video above shows, they recorded it in super slow motion, offering a whole new take on how an implosion happens.

I recommend watching the video full screen if you can to get the full effect.

300 frames per second power plant implosion

A few days ago the smokestacks and neighbouring building at the disused Progress Energy power plant on Weedon Island were imploded. There's some great footage of the implosion taking place on YouTube, but the video above is especially nice. It was shot at 300 frames per second, and then played back at the more typical 24 frames per second. The end result is a super slow-motion implosion that shows off every stage of the stacks falling.

Here's another video of the stacks and building falling at normal speed to show you the difference:
