Demolition of Shuttered Baltimore coal power plant

An old power station that had been closed for years went down in a blast that not only leveled the plant but changed an important part of the landscape, according to one area resident.

The coal plant opened in 1961 and closed in 2018 under an agreement with the Maryland Department of the Environment.

That demolition was not advertised for public viewing because of safety concerns.
