It's good but it's not stay-up-til-5am good.

Some people in England stayed up all night to watch a cooling tower demolition

We love watching demolitions as much as the next guy but we also love sleep so it would have been a tough choice when it came to watching this set of power station cooling towers getting demolished at 5 in the morning.

Luckily, there's video so we can watch the cool explosion from our desk/couch/bed unlike the people in Oxfordshire who headed out in their pyjamas despite official warnings to stay away.

Skip ahead to 1.30 to watch it all come down with very loud bang.

That has to be the most English reaction ever.
