Cooling towers at a power station in Derbyshire have been demolished in a controlled explosion.
The 360-ft towers at Drakelow were scheduled to be knocked down in July but a fault with detonators postponed the event.
There were further delays on Wednesday evening after a rabbit chewed through one of the wires.
As a result, three towers were demolished in one explosion and three more in a second blast.
Local resident Pauline Spratt who witnessed the demolition said: "It was a big 'wow' - absolutely amazing. The noise was very, very loud.
"I was so glad I was here to see it."
A new gas-fired power station is to be built on the site.
