An undetected crack in the smokestack caused it to fall in a different direction than what was planned, making onlookers scramble for safety. The smokestack fell on to power lines, cutting electricity to 4000 customers.

Marshall Steam Station
gudguy (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: gudguy.
Marshall Steam Station is a four-unit, coal-fired generating facility located in Catawba County, North Carolina. Named for former Duke Power president E.C. Marshall, the station is located on Lake Norman.
The second largest coal facility owned by Duke Energy in the Carolinas, Marshall generates enough electricity to power approximately 2 million homes. Since it began commercial operation in 1965, Marshall Steam Station has been among the most efficient power plants in the nation.
Duke Energy has made significant improvements to reduce emissions from the company’s coal-fired plants. A unique type of burner arrangement in the boilers keeps the nitrogen oxide emissions from the Marshall facility well below regulatory limits.
In 2004, the company began installing flue gas desulfurization equipment—commonly known as scrubbers. This equipment will lower the station’s sulfur dioxide emissions by approximately 95 percent. The project was completed in 2007.

Cahokia Power Plant
jbottero (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: jbottero.
Its six towering smokestacks make the retired Cahokia Power Plant one of the city's most distinctive landmarks, yet most residents rarely see this stupendous building up close. Its 52-acre site alongside the Mississippi River in Illinois is private property and closed off. Reaching the river bank on the opposite side in St. Louis requires navigation of lengthy dirt roads and and underbrush.
The Union Electric-operated plant first came online in 1923; it was built in stages and completed in 1939. Designed to burn Illinois coal, it was the largest power plant in the Mississippi Valley when it opened. Its boilers consumed a ton of coal every 30 seconds, and over 600 million gallons of water a day. Underwater cables fed the electricity produced to the thriving city across the river. The plant later converted to oil burning.
By 1976 the plant had been replaced by newer facilities and was decommissioned. Union Electric sold off the property in 1979. Extensive asbestos insulation used in its construction remained a problem for at least a decade, acerbated by careless salvage work.
The site today is home to Cahokia Marine Services, a multi-modal transportation business run by SLAY Industries; it functions as a bulk commodity transfer site, loading river barges. The site offers a large volume of indoor storage, presumably referring to the power plant building.

Tinsley Viaduct and a pair of cooling towers
Hinkkanen (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: Hinkkanen.
Tinsley Viaduct is a two-tier road bridge in Sheffield, England; the first of its kind in the country. It carries the M1 and the A631 some 1033 metres over the Don Valley, from Tinsley to Wincobank. The viaduct is one of Sheffield's most prominent landmarks, made all the more so by the adjacent pair of cooling towers that were left standing for safety reasons after the demolition of the Blackburn Meadows power station. The towers can be seen at the beginning of the movie "Full Monty".

Trbovlje Chimney (Tallest chimney in Europe)
The Trbovlje Chimney, built in 1976, is the tallest chimney in Europe. The 360 m (1,200 ft) high chimney of the Trbovlje coal power plant on the shore of the river Sava near Trbovlje, Slovenia was poured in 210 days, and required 11,866m³ of concrete and 1,079 tons of reinforcing steel. A high chimney was required for the site to ensure that emissions were removed from the deep, narrow valley under all weather conditions. The plant is operated by Termoelektrarna Trbovlje d.o.o. and became operational in 1966.

Buildwas Power Station
DonMartini (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: DonMartini.
Buildwas Power Station or Ironbridge Power Station is a coal fired power station in Shropshire, England.
The 970 MWe coal fired power station is the only significant energy producer (of electricity) in Shropshire. The plant consumes about 1.2 million tonnes of coal, 48,000 tonnes of biomass and 20,000 tonnes of oil per year and generated 2,990 GWh of electricity in 2004.[1]
The power station lies in the Buildwas parish, in Shrewsbury and Atcham borough. It is located near to the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site, where the Industrial Revolution began.
Coal is delivered to the power station via a railway that runs from Wolverhampton through Telford and then via Coalbrookdale to the site. The River Severn runs along one side of the power station and the railway has to cross the river on a bridge, the Albert Edward Bridge.
The 4 cooling towers of the power station dominate the skyline, but the station has often been noted to be more aesthetically pleasing than most. From Ironbridge, the surroundings of the station are hidden by wooded hills, and the cooling towers were deliberately constructed from red tile rather than the usual yellow-brown in order to make them look more attractive. The towers cannot be seen at all from the world famous landmark, the Iron Bridge.
Environmental group Friends of the Earth claims that Buildwas is one of the worst polluters in the United Kingdom. [1]
The power station is expected to close by 2015.

Abandoned cooling towers
Thorpe Marsh Power Station was a 1 Gigawatt (GW) (1000 MW) coal-fired power station near Doncaster in South Yorkshire, England.
The structures still stand now because it is feared that any explosion would cause the banks of the nearby canal to rupture. They also contain asbestos, which would contaminate land for miles around the site. There have been several controversial proposals for the site, including a car distribution depot and more recently a huge landfill site, neither of which have proven popular with the local residents.
The power station's cooling towers were featured in the final episode of the 1999 ITV drama, The Last Train, and in the first episode of the 2009 Channel 4 drama Red Riding.

From http://www.jdland.com/dc/njavestory.html:
"The facility began providing electricity in 1910 and today provides steam for heating and chilled water for cooling Capitol complex buildings. Its two towering smokestacks are a familiar view for drivers on Interstate 395. Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., has called the facility "the armpit" of the Capitol."

Power plant water cooling tower
One of two water cooling towers used for WE Energies' coal power plant in southeastern Wisconsin.
200,000 gallons of water for each unit, pumped continuously between turbine condensers and cooling towers, are used every minute to convert the exhaust steam from the turbine back into water for reuse. The circular, mechanical draft towers, 300 feet in diameter and 75 feet tall cool the water used for this conversion. This is accomplished by thirteen 200-horsepower foot fans drawing air through the sides of the towers to cool the water for reuse in the condensers. Water from Lake Michigan is
used to replace the 3,000-4,000 gallons of water lost every minute
through evaporation from each tower during the cooling process.

Carondelet Coke

By: Mugen_1.
From builtstlouis.net:
"A 40 acre complex of buildings, in operation in various capacities since the 1800s, was a site for manufacturing coke for steel production since the 1950s. It has stood abandoned since 1989. Considerable contamination has long made re-use of the riverside site prohibitive, but today plans are in the works to demolish everything on the site and construct a new industrial park.
Nature has fiercely reclaimed the site in the 15 years of its abandonment, and it has become a popular site for graffitti artists and juveniles of many stripes, as well as a fascinating destination for urban explorers. Ruined buildings and massive abandoned machinery abound, emerging from the trees like an ancient temple in a jungle."

Cooling towers at coal burning power plant
Cooling towers are heat rejection devices used to transfer process waste heat to the atmosphere. Cooling towers may either use the evaporation of water to reject process heat and cool the working fluid to near the wet-bulb air temperature or rely solely on air to cool the working fluid to near the dry-bulb air temperature. Common applications include cooling the circulating water used in oil refineries, chemical plants, power plants and building cooling. The towers vary in size from small roof-top units to very large hyperboloid structures (as in Image 1) that can be up to 200 metres tall and 100 metres in diameter, or rectangular structures (as in Image 2) that can be over 40 metres tall and 80 metres long. Smaller towers are normally factory-built, while larger ones are constructed on site.
