3 Dalton Hwy, Alaska road blast

[akdrone]

I think I put up a little short excerpt from this but here's the whole thing (still very short). It involves the first blast of a hillside on the Dalton Hwy (the "haul road") in preparation of moving the road a bit to the side. Shot with the Mav 3.

Well, I like your video but I'm not sure what the blasting accomplished. Looked like the road ran past that rock just fine before the blast, but I'm no engineer.

It was the first of several blasts that will take out that entire hill so as to reroute the road.
