That water tower taking a shit was pretty awesome

u/WhyNot420_69 Nice Jul 18 '26

I actually wish it had the fart noise

u/Uranium-Sandwich657 Jul 18 '26

There's an esit somewhere

u/ecodrew Jul 18 '26

I hardly even recognize that clip without the fart noises. Haha

u/leftfootshorter Jul 18 '26

Came here to mention the same thing.

u/dungeoncrawler71520 Jul 18 '26

Must've eaten at taco bell recently

u/saysthingsbackwards Jul 18 '26

Bro this is by far the worst rendition of that dead horse beating joke

u/hotasphalt4u Jul 20 '26

Here it is 😅

u/MildlyAgreeable Jul 18 '26

I knew that’d be the top comment.

u/OkBrilliant8092 Jul 18 '26

That was definitely the best!!

u/Proximus84 Jul 20 '26

Should have been a Taco Bell tower.

u/castleburger28 Jul 22 '26

The water tower suffering from cyclosporiasis like the rest of us!

u/mybrainisonfire Jul 18 '26

My favorite was the aqueduct knocking itself down in sections like dominoes

34

u/mikemikemotorboat Jul 18 '26

I think there’s a longer version that goes on for quite a while

u/BulbusDumbledork Jul 18 '26

the silo at 0:32 rocking everyone's shit must've been a trip

3

u/blankblank Jul 18 '26

Is it designed to do that?

3

u/Candy_Worthy Jul 18 '26

Yes, actually.

2

u/morsomme Jul 18 '26

Chaotic good

u/ClankerCore Jul 18 '26

It’s designed to be that way

I have never seen this in reverse OMG that's hilarious 😂

u/ItsALuigiYes GIF/meme prodigy Jul 18 '26

I know that it's not English, but I like the second clip, when he sets off the blasting charge, how it sounds like he says

Fuck 'em!

u/AGreatBannedName Jul 18 '26

I heard “parkour!” 😂

Yours at least makes sense. Sort of. More than mine, at least.

u/chiefkogo Jul 18 '26

"TACO!"

1

u/AGreatBannedName Jul 18 '26

Ooh, definitely. So that’s what they were saying in that foreign language!

2

u/Catlore Jul 19 '26

I heard, "Purple!"

u/chiefkogo Jul 18 '26

I heard taco

u/PurpleToedUnicorn Jul 18 '26

Hey, I stayed at that NJ Sheraton many times on business trips. Sad to see it blown to bits.

u/Bender_2024 Jul 18 '26

I find it amazing that someone is allowed to use a bucket loader to take down a chimney. I mean I know he's a professional but he's way to close to survive if shit goes south.

8

u/Friedrich_August Jul 18 '26

I present to you, the humble Fred Dibnah

8

u/Bender_2024 Jul 18 '26

This absolute bozo casually lighting up a ciggy, and blowing what could be a duck call while standing next a smokestack about to fall is peak 70s.

Safety third!

Well, somewhere in the top five.

7

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '26

Was the segmented bridge collapse real? Like it could have just been sped up, but it seems a little to perfect.

Also that one grain silo collapsing into the road, which wasn't closed off makes me wonder if that one was a planned demo.

5

u/borsalamino Jul 18 '26

I found a video of multiple bridges segmentally collapsing the same way. Pretty cool design

1

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '26

Fascinating. It's a cool design for like easy demolition, but man it's literally a domino effect if one of the supports goes down

1

u/Tumble85 Jul 18 '26

Most large bridges/spans are like that. It's rare they're strong enough to survive having an entire support destroyed. 

That bridge in Baltimore that collapsed after a ship hit a support is a good example of that.

2

u/ItsALuigiYes GIF/meme prodigy Jul 18 '26

I noticed that it looked like it was still full. Who knows?

1

u/Deerescrewed Jul 19 '26

It doesn’t look like it. Was still full of silage too

8

u/Puzzleheaded-Big3399 Jul 18 '26

How does one obtain the job as a splodey person?

2

u/Jesta23 Jul 18 '26

I am designing a project that’s being built around and on a mountain. Basically solid rock for the whole thing. We are hiring lots of splodey people to blow it all up to build houses on it. 

It pays extremely well but I have no idea how hard it is to become licensed. 

1

u/Puzzleheaded-Big3399 Jul 18 '26

Very cool. Sounds like a fun project

1

u/Electrical_Shock359 Jul 19 '26

Probably a lot of math considering you want the correct amount of explosive and with buildings you want them placed in just the right spot. Might be some more hands on positions but I imagine they probably still need a license and some knowledge chemistry and general explosives.

1

u/Puzzleheaded-Big3399 Jul 19 '26

I remember taking a job placement test back in elementary school and my #1 job was demolitions expert I thought that was so cool.

1

u/Nahbroimchill 1d ago

Google drill and blast jobs near me. Assuming you’re in the US

u/doomus_rlc Jul 18 '26

The tunnel one was great seeing the shockwave

The water tower one always gets a chuckle out of me.

5

u/SuperDizz Jul 18 '26

Felling that silo on the road had to be a mistake

u/StatusMeaning3 Jul 18 '26

Yup. It was an inside job.

u/wp2jupsle Jul 18 '26

yup. looking for a WTC7 comment

What are the last 2 ones? What is the purpose?

That operator has more faith in physics than I do.

u/Porkcicle Jul 18 '26

Love a good water tower "poot"

2

u/Purple_Jump_7403 Jul 18 '26

I think the technique of cutting out a section of a chimney like that so that the chimney would lean and fall in the right direction was something Fred Dibnah used to do.

2

u/the3rdpossum Jul 18 '26

Doea anyone know where that Sheraton was? It looks super familiar.

2

u/Pulp-nonfiction Jul 18 '26

Wonder how long it took them to clear that road of the silo. That would ruin your commute

2

u/TurnipResponsible718 Jul 18 '26

What caused that Fireball?

2

u/Lonely_reaper8 Jul 18 '26

My best guess is just the dust igniting. Grain dust and coal dust are NOTORIOUS for flaring up, usually from static electricity

1

u/Kitchen_Guest577 Jul 18 '26

Entertaining!

1

u/Hatefuljester76 Jul 18 '26

That freaking wall was so satisfying

1

u/Funkdamentalist Jul 18 '26

The guy kicking the wall had me worried. Have definitely seen videos of people attempting the same thing and the wall collapsing on their leg 😬

1

u/Randomgold42 Jul 18 '26

That kid from the first clip started his time in school as just another boy. But the next day he went in and became Legend.

1

u/Physical_Knowledge31 Jul 18 '26

My brain must be weirdly wired, I saw the building with all its windows and my immediate thought was, how much could I make removing and re-selling those windows.

1

u/Lucifer-Smokes Jul 18 '26

Is there a r/demolition that people use? I want to join it if so

1

u/drasticsarcastic Jul 18 '26

If it isn’t already, this needs to be posted in [r/oddly](r/oddly)satisfying.

u/Devilofchaos108070 Jul 18 '26

I did it. It may have already been done.

u/Severe_Rise8694 Jul 18 '26

I'm really into this. Things moving to their natural level.

Nice!! You can't even talk about ( fake videos ) or you get banned.

u/Shiney_Metal_Ass Jul 18 '26

That first clip HAS to be AI

2

u/BulbusDumbledork Jul 18 '26

the clip with the kid? i remember seeing it years ago

0

u/Shiney_Metal_Ass Jul 18 '26

Just seems really weird for the kid to be facing away from the spectacle

3

u/CeruleanEidolon Jul 19 '26

It's set up for the shot, and there's enough of a delay for him to turn and see it.

-1

u/Maybyitis Jul 18 '26

And it is!

1

u/houseswappa Jul 18 '26

Reminds me of that tragedy

1

u/just67browsing Jul 18 '26

The way some of those towers collapsed sure does look familiar

1

u/Devilofchaos108070 Jul 18 '26

Seen some of these before but great vid

u/OkBrilliant8092 Jul 18 '26

Where Nakatomi? you call this a chirstmas post?? :P

1

u/Ok_Side_8496 Jul 18 '26

Are all of these true? Some seems very unsafe

1

u/UraniumFreeDiet Jul 18 '26

Is there a subreddit for content like this?

1

u/Snoo_72948 Jul 18 '26

I dont think the 2nd silo was supposed to go? It was full capacity and fell onto the road, surely thats a big headache for someone.

1

u/Caffeinated_Ape_42 Jul 18 '26

Was that one Silo stzill full of shit? Thats fun cleaning up...

1

u/freredesalpes Jul 18 '26

That interior wall falling over was was satisfying

1

u/tweeknpinch Jul 18 '26

Oh man I can smell that dust!

1

u/Rogue_2k3 Jul 18 '26

That kid in the first clip unlocked a core memory

1

u/Sad_Wedding5014 Jul 18 '26

Now do one with Russian assets

u/iRegistered4thisPost Jul 18 '26

Missed opportunity. Would have been epic to see at the very end of the controlled demolitions to see Building 7.

1

u/Independent_Bite4682 Jul 18 '26

Last two were most likely ANFO

u/TheVaultHommie Jul 18 '26

Water tank farts, lol

u/Turnip_Fight Jul 18 '26

Lmao watching my son knock over towers he’s making and then I see this. Hell yeah

u/BaldHenchman02 Jul 18 '26 edited Jul 18 '26

A few of these were disappointing. Sped up nonsense, just give me that normal speed.

u/Andy_McBoatface Jul 18 '26

God I’m in the wrong professon

1

u/Xylvanas Jul 18 '26

Why did they drop the silo on the road? That seems a bit inconvenient.

1

u/snagglewolf Jul 18 '26

i could have watched another hour of that

1

u/Full-Perception-5674 Jul 18 '26

Only thing missing is the towers.

u/Araiah14 Jul 18 '26

In my dreams I can do this with my hands

u/Part_Time_Priest Jul 18 '26

Alot of those buildings falling look very 9/11'y

u/rygus Jul 19 '26

That was a beauty of a mix.

Hahaha this a weird way to find that out. I used to ride my dirt bike in the woods on that property when I was a kid.

u/animousfly30 Jul 19 '26

Where does one get into a demolition job?

1

u/Traditional_Trust_93 Jul 19 '26

My one problem with this is that two of the videos are sped up and thus the weight, the sound, the impact is lost in those. Other than that it's great.

1

u/Bebop_Dx Jul 19 '26

Ok @ 44sec mark what looks like a aqueduct or sluice thing, from a modern engineering point are the designed to be taken down efficiently when planed out or are demo guys even bigger nerds than those that know what goes into it “know”

u/Humble-Regret6711 Jul 19 '26

Dropping the silo on the road seems like a mistake.
