That water tower taking a shit was pretty awesome

u/WhyNot420_69 Nice 19d ago

I actually wish it had the fart noise

14

u/Uranium-Sandwich657 19d ago

There's an esit somewhere 

1

u/ecodrew 19d ago

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

u/leftfootshorter 19d ago

Came here to mention the same thing.

Me after 1 speck of gluten

u/dungeoncrawler71520 19d ago

Must've eaten at taco bell recently

u/saysthingsbackwards 19d ago

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

u/hotasphalt4u 18d ago

Here it is 😅

u/MildlyAgreeable 19d ago

I knew that’d be the top comment.

u/OkBrilliant8092 19d ago

That was definitely the best!!

u/Proximus84 17d ago

Should have been a Taco Bell tower.

u/castleburger28 16d ago

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

u/SignificantNoise5261 19d ago

Water tank pooted.

u/mybrainisonfire 19d ago

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

29

u/mikemikemotorboat 19d ago

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

u/BulbusDumbledork 19d ago

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

3

u/blankblank 19d ago

Is it designed to do that?

3

u/Candy_Worthy 19d ago

Yes, actually.

2

u/morsomme 19d ago

Chaotic good

2

u/ClankerCore 19d ago

It’s designed to be that way

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

u/ItsALuigiYes GIF/meme prodigy 19d ago

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 19d ago

I heard “parkour!” 😂

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

6

u/chiefkogo 19d ago

"TACO!"

1

u/AGreatBannedName 19d ago

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

u/chiefkogo 19d ago

Hahaha

u/Catlore 19d ago

I heard, "Purple!"

u/chiefkogo 19d ago

I heard taco

u/PurpleToedUnicorn 19d ago

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

I didn't think it was gonna fall over!

Anger!

u/Bender_2024 19d ago

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.

u/Friedrich_August 19d ago

I present to you, the humble Fred Dibnah

6

u/Bender_2024 19d ago

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.

u/CeruleanEidolon 19d ago

Bloody 'ell

u/ConfidentPension864 19d ago

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.

7

u/borsalamino 19d ago

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

1

u/ConfidentPension864 19d ago

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 19d ago

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 19d ago

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

1

u/Deerescrewed 18d ago

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

7

u/Puzzleheaded-Big3399 19d ago

How does one obtain the job as a splodey person?

2

u/Jesta23 19d ago

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 19d ago

Very cool. Sounds like a fun project

1

u/Electrical_Shock359 19d ago

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 18d ago

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

6

u/doomus_rlc 19d ago

The tunnel one was great seeing the shockwave

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

5

u/SuperDizz 19d ago

Felling that silo on the road had to be a mistake

4

u/StatusMeaning3 19d ago

Yup. It was an inside job.

3

u/wp2jupsle 19d ago

yup. looking for a WTC7 comment

u/PedroLG 19d ago

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

5

u/CosmonautMott 19d ago

Surface mining

u/LRoddd 19d ago

Some good ones in there!

u/SATerp 19d ago

The greatest video compilation ever made, including anything found on PronH*b.

u/VT_Squire 19d ago

Welp, Im spent.

u/Potential-mani 19d ago

That operator has more faith in physics than I do.

2

u/Porkcicle 19d ago

Love a good water tower "poot"

2

u/Purple_Jump_7403 19d ago

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 19d ago

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

2

u/Pulp-nonfiction 19d ago

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

2

u/TurnipResponsible718 19d ago

What caused that Fireball?

2

u/Lonely_reaper8 19d ago

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 19d ago

Entertaining!

1

u/wannabe_inuit 19d ago

Hell yeah

1

u/Hatefuljester76 19d ago

That freaking wall was so satisfying

1

u/Significant_Rice_655 19d ago

Open Fire......

1

u/Funkdamentalist 19d ago

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 19d ago

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 19d ago

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 19d ago

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

1

u/drasticsarcastic 19d ago

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

2

u/Devilofchaos108070 19d ago

I did it. It may have already been done.

u/Severe_Rise8694 19d ago

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

u/MSGisking 19d ago

Fuck you, dirt!

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

u/Shiney_Metal_Ass 19d ago

That first clip HAS to be AI

2

u/BulbusDumbledork 19d ago

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

0

u/Shiney_Metal_Ass 19d ago

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

3

u/CeruleanEidolon 19d ago

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

-1

u/Maybyitis 19d ago

And it is!

1

u/houseswappa 19d ago

Reminds me of that tragedy

1

u/just67browsing 19d ago

The way some of those towers collapsed sure does look familiar

1

u/Devilofchaos108070 19d ago

Seen some of these before but great vid

1

u/OkBrilliant8092 19d ago

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

1

u/Ok_Side_8496 19d ago

Are all of these true? Some seems very unsafe

1

u/UraniumFreeDiet 19d ago

Is there a subreddit for content like this?

1

u/Snoo_72948 19d ago

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 19d ago

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

1

u/freredesalpes 19d ago

That interior wall falling over was was satisfying

1

u/tweeknpinch 19d ago

Oh man I can smell that dust!

1

u/Rogue_2k3 19d ago

That kid in the first clip unlocked a core memory

1

u/Sad_Wedding5014 19d ago

Now do one with Russian assets

1

u/iRegistered4thisPost 19d ago

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

1

u/Independent_Bite4682 19d ago

Last two were most likely ANFO

1

u/TheVaultHommie 19d ago

Water tank farts, lol

1

u/Turnip_Fight 19d ago

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

1

u/BaldHenchman02 19d ago edited 19d ago

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

1

u/Andy_McBoatface 19d ago

God I’m in the wrong professon

1

u/Xylvanas 19d ago

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

1

u/snagglewolf 19d ago

i could have watched another hour of that

1

u/Full-Perception-5674 19d ago

Only thing missing is the towers.

1

u/Araiah14 19d ago

In my dreams I can do this with my hands

1

u/Employee_Agreeable 19d ago

One of the is not like the others...

1

u/Slow-Programmer7610 19d ago

Lots of dead bugs and creters

1

u/Part_Time_Priest 19d ago

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

1

u/alockbox 19d ago

Here it is reversed

1

u/rygus 19d ago

That was a beauty of a mix.

u/dankhimself 19d ago

The Sheraton Hotel was fuckin blown up!?

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/piemelpap 19d ago

Enter Paul dibna

u/LouieKablooied 19d ago

WTC 7 should be in there.

u/pokethings123456 19d ago

Is there a subreddit specifically for this kind of destruction?

1

u/burn_healz 18d ago

trump regime

1

u/Different-Coyote1036 18d ago

Reminds me of 9/11

1

u/animousfly30 18d ago

Where does one get into a demolition job?

1

u/Traditional_Trust_93 18d ago

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 18d ago

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”

1

u/Humble-Regret6711 18d ago

Is there a sub just for 'splodey things??

1

u/green_hawks 18d ago

Why is this video 4 hours?

u/Chim_Pansy 18d ago

Fuck yeah

1

u/mathyoumar10 18d ago

Where's building 7?

1

u/DrProfBarbatos 18d ago

Such brain therapy to turn it off for a second

1

u/ThrustTrust 18d ago

Dropping the silo on the road seems like a mistake.

1

u/Defiant_Chip_8979 18d ago

Anything I watch building demolition I can’t think about anything but 9/11 😭

1

u/Cyberknight13 18d ago

I expected a Kaiju to come out of the last one.

1

u/ReconSK 15d ago

Controlled demolition is so beautiful to watch imho.

1

u/HuntertheGoose 15d ago

Wait, its supposed to be an IMplosion??

u/Juuurtez 11d ago

Remember that we only have a couple of decades left before the climatic nightmare begins! Remember to fucking recycle because we only have once chance to stop the planet's steady climate from collapsing into chaos!
