Four Cement Plant Stacks Blasted Down Near Ada

On a snowy Thursday afternoon workers prepared the first of four stacks for blasting at the Ideal Cement Plant west of Ada. A 4 pm whistle and 10 second countdown preceded a muffled boom and the slow collapse of the 26 year old kiln stack. By Saturday afternoon all four brick-lined stacks had been destroyed and dismantling began near Ada.
