It certainly looks like a lot of fun and very spectacular. I was surprised about how close the new bridge is (apparently closed to traffic during the procedure) and how well the operation went. I can only guess at the amount of engineering involved, certainly not trivial.

Memorial Bridge Demolition
The old Memorial Bridge in North Dakota is currently been demolished after a new bridge replaced it. The three spans were blown with explosives in two separate operations, on October 6 and October 29. The website has very interesting information and videos of the explosive demolition.
