Another one bites the dust

 I shouldn't do this to myself. The demolition work on my former employer is going to be at least two years of slow motion destruction, the building by building dismantling of what once employed thousands of people. But the most iconic piece of plant has toppled now. And I do mean toppled; not the neat folding in on itself of many controlled explosion demolitions, but falling sideways to crash against the ground. Something about watching that video hurt more deeply than if it had just fallen straight down, pancaking as it went. It was an ignominious end to what had once been a giant of its field, full of cutting edge technology.
