The controlled explosion took place at 7am.
Thousands of people gathered at viewing spots across the area to watch the three remaining cooling towers come down.
Unfortunately, when the explosion happened, it blew up the power substation, leaving thousands of homes across the area without electricity.
You can send us your photos and videos of the towers exploding today for inclusion in our gallery below.
You can also send us your memories of when the towers were standing here.
