Two cooling towers at a nuclear plant in Gundremmingen, Germany, were demolished through controlled explosions, marking their removal from the landscape after standing since 1980. The demolition produced significant clouds of white smoke and dust as the structures collapsed. The Gundremmingen plant has been offline for four years, and its dismantling is part of Germany's broader strategy to phase out nuclear energy.
