Watch the moment a TWO-MILE viaduct is blown up in China - and spare a thought for the clean-up crew
In a breathtaking orgy of flashes, bangs and perfectly-timed destruction, a two-mile viaduct is blown to smithereens in China.
Bomb experts spent weeks poring over blueprints of the Zhuan-yang viaduct in Wuhan, in Heibei province, in a bid to work out how to raze the structure to the ground without leaving even a single concrete slab still standing.
And as this amazing footage shows, their plans went by without a hitch, even breaking the record for the longest concrete bridge ever successfully demolished in China.
But the real hard work didn't begin until after the demolition when dozens of workers were sent into the rubble to clean up... armed with only high-vis jackets and brooms.
