Blow up the Damn Dam

Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River, China, constructed in 1993. It is the largest hydroelectric dam in the world, more than five times the size of the Hoover Dam. work was finished on May 20, 2006, nine months ahead of schedule

A temporary barrier called cofferdam was built before the construction. Now that it is completed, this wall has to be blown away.

A total of 191 tonnes of explosives had to be put in place at 1,700 sites along the barrier.

Get ready and.... BOOM!!! That was awsome!
