Alaska's tallest structure has toppled to the ground in a controlled demolition 
using explosives.

The 411m (1,350ft) Long Range Aids to Navigation (LORAN) tower on the Seward 
Peninsula was brought crashing down.

The Coast Guard, who ordered the demolition, said the tower was deteriorating 
and at risk of collapse.
