Oil Rig Blown Up With C-4 Explosive

This oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico was in longer in use, so it had to be removed. How? Well, with 2,000 lbs of C-4 of course! Eleven separate explosions were set off to sever the legs of the rig below the mud line, and after the detonation it was like nothing was ever there. Sean assures us that great care was taken to make sure the area was clear of any endangered animals prior to the explosion. Credit: YouTube/clanspanker
