Reactions Science Videos | March 24, 2022
How do you demolish a massive building in the middle of a populated city in a matter of seconds … safely? Counterintuitively, you do it with explosives. We explore how chemistry, engineering and more than a little artistry come together to safely bring down massive structures.
