Countdown to destruction: Scottish power station demolished

Scotland’s last-remaining coal-fired power station has come crashing down in an explosion as it was demolished.

Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon pushed the button to ignite the 700kg of explosives that brought down the chimney stack, which stood at Longannet for more than 50 years.

Watch the demolition.
