S01E05 - BLASTING IN TIGHT SPACES



First, Paul travels back to Glasgow, Scotland, where explosive engineers are attempting to demolish two high-rise towers that sit less than 25 feet from a major commuter rail line. Next they face an even tighter challenge -- the demolition of an old bridge in Pennsylvania that’s just a few feet from its multi-million dollar replacement. If either blast goes wrong, commuters will be stranded and residents will be furious.
