14 DAY TRIAL // This video of the Marble Falls US 281 bridge being demolished is somewhat of a work of art, and it would actually seem artificial if I didn't know that it actually was blown up.
According to YouTuber Kirk Drummond, a one-second blast is relayed here in 12 seconds by being shot at 300fps with a RED Epic high-resolution camera, perfect for capturing footage in slow motion.
KVUE tells us that the demolition took place at dawn, as a crowd of hundreds gathered to say goodbye to the old steel bridge.
An implosion technique is used, making way for wicked shockwaves as a cord controls the blast. Everything went smoothly, apart from the fact that phone lines in the area were down for the rest of the day.
