January 14, 2008 (One Mile from Prairie Island Nuclear Power Plant)



 Mixed Media
(Toy Truck, Fire Crackers)

Every so often somebody does some so crazy and stupid that I can’t help but embrace it. One such event happened on January 14, 2008 one mile from the Prairie Island Nuclear Power Plant in Redwing MN. Brian Childs blew up a dump truck with 100lbs of Tannerite (an impact explosive that manly used my marksmen in target practice) sending debris a quarter a mile away. Blowing up a dump truck is not the smartest idea, but the explosion would be a site to see.

The original act hold place in my imagination, because of two main things the sheer ignorance involved as well as the spectacle of the act. This small-scale recreation is my way to try and understand doing something as crazy.
