As the tallest remaining vestige of Bucksport’s papermaking history fell to the ground Tuesday morning, hundreds gathered to watch the iconic moment. Included among the viewers were BDN reporter Nick Sambides Jr. and photographer Linda Coan O’Kresik, who captured the stack’s collapse in photographs and video.
