美國俄亥俄州進行老舊高塔爆破，高84公尺的高塔在進行爆破時，沒想到估算錯誤，高塔在爆破時，居然倒錯了方向，爆破人員跟圍觀民眾驚慌逃竄，還好有驚無險，沒有人傷亡，不過卻壓毀一整排電線桿，造成4千戶停電。
民眾：「不不不，快離開這裡。」大批人驚慌失措的尖叫，拔腿逃離現場，不是什麼大地震，竟然是一座高84公尺的高塔，在進行爆破時，倒錯方向。民眾：「當高塔爆了後，你看到高塔開始傾向錯的方向。」
這起爆破烏龍發生在美國的俄亥俄州，高塔這麼一塌，居然塌錯方向，一旁1.2萬伏特的高壓電線桿也應聲倒塌，還波及到一棟建築，所幸沒有人傷亡，不過卻造成至少4000戶人家沒電可用，現場更是一片混亂，彷彿被地震蹂躪過後。民眾：「在第二次爆炸後，人們開始尖叫，說快離開那裡，跑啊、跑啊，人們在吶喊尖叫。」
儘管事後爆破公司也解釋，出問題的不是炸藥，而是因為高塔出現了裂縫，才會導致這場烏龍爆破，不過卻已經把當場目睹的人，嚇得魂飛魄散。
A nearly 300-foot smokestack being demolished at an old Ohio power plant toppled in the wrong direction and sent spectators scrambling Wednesday before knocking down two 12,000-volt power lines and crashing onto a building housing backup generators, officials said.
No injuries were reported after the 275-foot tower at the unused 83-year-old Mad River Power Plant teetered and then fell in a southeast direction — instead of east, as originally planned — seconds after explosives were detonated.
The falling tower brought down the power lines and sent spectators scrambling to avoid the sparking lines.
"It just started leaning the other way and I thought, 'Holy cow' ... It was terrifying for a little bit," Springfield Township Fire Chief John Roeder told the Springfield News-Sun.
Officials estimated that about 4,000 customers in the Springfield area, about 25 miles northeast of Dayton, lost power because of the downed lines.
Lisa Kelly, the president and owner of Idaho-based Advanced Explosives Demolition Inc., which handled the demolition, told the News-Sun that the explosives detonated correctly, but an undetected crack on the south side of the tower pulled it in a different direction.
"Nobody's happy with things that go wrong in life, and sometimes it's out of our hands and beyond anybody's prediction. ... We're all extremely thankful no one was injured," Kelly told the News-Sun.
Officials say the debris landed on the FirstEnergy property.
"We had it all planned out. Everything was scoped out ... it caught everybody by surprise," Tim Suter, FirstEnergy's manager of external affairs, told the News-Sun. "Everybody was kind of excited, looking for cover."
