The Isle of Grain Get s Blown Up

No Mac has not been playing in the garage

Grain Power Station's chimney, on Isle of Grain, will be blown up at 11am on Wednesday, September 7

The tallest concrete structure ever to be demolished in Britain will be blown up next Wednesday, September 7.

The chimney at the former Grain Power Station, on the Isle of Grain, which is 244 metres, or 801 foot tall, will be blown up by engineers in the morning.

The structure is taller than 55 double decker buses stacked on top of each other and is two- and-a-half times the height of Big Ben.

As it blows up around 40,000 tonnes of concrete are to be brought to the ground.

Energy giant, Uniper UK, which owns the site, announced today the chimney, which has been a landmark in Medway for almost 40 years, will be blown up at 11am.

The chimney is the latest stage of pulling down the station, which was closed in 2012 for economic and environmental reasons.

Demolition at the site began in April 2014, and to date, engineers have carried out five demolition events to bring down the main infrastructure of the plant. In June the huge control building came crashing down. Watch here

Since the project began, more than 84,000 tonnes of material has been removed from the site to be recycled, and work is expected to continue until the end of the year.

The chimney coming down will mark the end of an era for many people who have worked at the plant, or live in the area.

However, the existing infrastructure at the former plant has been used to build a new gas-fired power station on the same site which will produce electricity for around a million homes.

The development of Grain B Power Station means the site can continue to provide electricity to homes and businesses across the UK, and support local employment.

SHOCKING ‘FALSE FLAG’ CLAIM THAT KENT CHIMNEY ATTACK WAS AN INSIDE JOB

A leading expert in false flag attacks and modern extremism has claimed that today’s shocking Isle of Grain chimney explosion was an INSIDE JOB. He added that the government of Kent now has a ‘green light’ to launch rocket attacks on Essex.

According to Dr Hank Darjeeling, a politics lecturer and activist at the University of East Grays, believes that he has ‘irrefutable evidence’ to prove that today’s attack was carefully planned to create panic and fear among people in the local area at a time when tensions between Essex and Kent have never been higher.

He said: ‘As soon as the chimney started to fall, I could tell that something wasn’t quite right – some of the news feeds were reporting the attack minutes or even hours before it actually happened!’

‘The explosion originated from the middle of the chimney and then the whole structure just fell down in what appeared to be a carefully orchestrated manner. There wasn’t a single reported casualty either – the whole thing stinks to high heaven and I am going to make sure that the whole world knows it.’

We asked Dr Darjeeling how he was going to get his message across, and he was adamant that his information campaign was already gathering momentum.

He added: ‘I have set up the ‘7/9 – THE TRUTH’ website with a number of images and videos to prove that it was an inside job. The Kentish government is going to use this false flag attack to justify a campaign of terror against Essex and any other oil-rich county of the UK until somebody has the guts to reveal the truth.’

In a late development, satellite images have shown a massive mobilisation of military vehicles onto the Island of Sheppey, and local sources have confirmed that Tony Blair has been appointed to the role of Special War Advisor to the Kent Cabinet.

Mr Blair released a brief statement, and he said: ‘Today’s terrible chimney attack shows that Essex extremists will go to extraordinary measures to attack the Kentish way of life and the liberty of its citizens.’

‘We have received a video from the known Essex terrorist organisation Al-thorne and a masked spokesperson claims full responsibility – this will not be broadcast for security reasons while it is analysed at our Counter Terrorism Unit in Margate.’

‘This attack is the tip of the iceberg. Who knows what else they are concealing over the other side of the Thames?’

Wicky you crack me up.

I hope you kept all the windows closed on the house today Mac otherwise you may have to get your feather duster out. Wish I was there to see it go. I do enjoy a good explosion especially if it goes up with a bang that you feel in your chest. I don't want to hear it so much, I want to feel it. Got to love the shockwaves from a big boom. I'd love to work in demolition or with some form of controlled explosions, what a fantastic job.

your bang on there Carl (pun intended) however uncontrolled or surprise explosions are not fun!!! and i don't mean ya baffles letting go.

I worked in demolition for 40 years,it was good fun for a couple of years,but in the end it was just a job and nothing to get excited about.I operated an O&K RH 40 excavator that weighed in at 110 tons.As i said good fun at first but the bigger the digger the more was expected from you.Couldn't even let the revs die down to roll a fag.Not that good Carl.

Good Job Wicky ...very funny.

What the Essex bunch don't know about is El Presidente's plans....

& if you all think The Isle of Grain is strange try going to Sheppy !

Carl the Big Bang was more of a POP! short sharp pop no big bang at all really...Now when they are doing live firing at the demo range that runs along the back of MacGrain Towers then you get the deep window rattling boom...

Oh & the widows were closed but the toxic cloud went Westward away from the village of the dammed...
