A woman whose father was scalded to death at a Norfolk soup factory said she had gained "closure" after being given the opportunity to blow it up.
Sarah Griffiths, 41, triggered the demolition of the former Campbell's factory tower in King's Lynn on Sunday.
She said: "The tower is a constant reminder that I have been robbed of my dad. I'm a bit choked up about it because it's a big thing for me to do."
Her father, Mike Locke, died in 1995 of severe scalding from a blast of steam.
Ms Griffiths, a mother of two, won the chance to trigger the tower explosion in a local newspaper.
She said: "It's overwhelming to think I've been given this opportunity to bring down this building.
