Wild video shows ice bridge explode

An explosion demolition was done for an ice bridge that formed in Provo, Utah after a January avalanche left 20-30 feet of ice at the site.

A wild, intense, video shows a crazy explosion happening over a river in Utah — and it was all planned. 

Agencies in Provo, Utah came together to clear avalanche debris near Bridal Veils Falls on June 7 after videos surfaced of people swimming in the river below. 

The video shows demolition crews gathered near the debris to set up the explosion. 

The debris stems from a January avalanche that left 20 to 30 feet of ice and other debris by the base of the waterfall, according to KSL news

The demolition was done as a safety measure to stop people from jumping into the river.
