Watch China’s ‘frozen river blasts’ in action #coolchina #CGTN

Controlled explosions are being carried out along key sections of the Heilongjiang River in northeast China to break up thick ice and reduce the risk of spring flooding.

The blasts send towering sheets of ice skyward, creating a striking visual often described as “ice waterfalls” ⁠– much like a scene straight out of a martial arts movie. #coolchina
