Mark your dates: The enormous Brayton Point cooling towers are coming down Saturday, April 27.
The towers, built in 2009 at a cost of $600 million, soar 500 feet into the Somerset sky and helped cool water from the now-decommissioned power plant before it was released into Mt. Hope Bay.

The plan is to implode the towers with explosives.
