The Lishui Bridge in Zhangjiajie, China, was demolished this week, making for some impressive footage as it exploded and disappeared into the water in just three seconds.

The 44-year-old bridge was being removed to make way for a newer structure.

It took roughly a ton of dynamite fitted into 15 sections along the bridge to blow up the 244-meter (800-foot) structure in the blink of an eye.
