What is the recipe for an implosion large enough to blow up the 500-foot Trojan cooling tower?

- Drill 3,300 holes and pack them with charges

- Use 2,500 pounds of nitro-based TNT

- Clear a large-radius safety area around the tower

- Set the charges to go off in 17-millisecond intervals, starting at 7a.m., on Sunday, May 21, 2006

- Brace yourself for a power blast that will last up to 14 seconds
