Have A Blast!

Play Video

Thanks to our website, HDR Engineering
hired At Will Productions to document some
of the demolitions of the old Pearman (and
hopefully the Grace) bridges. Now that the
new Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge is fully oper-
ational, the old bridges must come down, and
come down with a bang. I was very fortunate
because I was on the ship with the demolition
crew. They even let two little boys trigger
the explosives. How cool is that?

I was definately nervous when the one minute
warning came and went, and the ship was still
coming about. As I was preparing to to grab
my camera, and tripod and run for the bow,
the engineer leans over and tells me "If you
move you'll miss it." Good thing I listened.
I got the shot, but my footage would've came
out better if the boat would've been still.
