When I was 5 we lived in the country outside of Indianapolis and our rural neighborhood did not have a nearby church. So, one day a small farm came up for sale and a bunch of the neighbors pooled their $$ and bought it. The intent was to convert the milking barn into a chapel. There was an old concrete silo EXACTLY like you have there and the men punched holes around the base then tied a rope from the top to the back of my dads pickup truck & he simply pulled it over. It was quite a show. !
Nobody died, but the potential was there. What the hell are spectators doing in the danger zone? Did anyone pay attention in physics class? I saw 1000 different Final Destination moments in one video. Glad it went the way it did, but JUST DAMN!
thy can be glad there was no forward out blast,could of hit the vehicle, lol,the roof had the potential to be driven forward by the down draft, they were very lucky,
wondering if you knock out one block on each side , run a chain thru and tie both ends to all the chains you have and can borrow , then pull from a safe distance w/tractor , would this pull out all the blocks on one side ? safer if it'd work .
@@angrybobking5083 that what i said to myself , pretty dumb , they have tractors , but use a truck . but they never pull to get the silo down ,, lucky they did not get killed
Nice job! Cleaning all that concrete up is the real job now! Thanks for sharing!
The old dude can still swing it 👍
Now it is time for all those who have never taken down a silo to tell you what you did wrong.
Now it's time for those who have a chip on their shoulder to deny common safety sense has a place in conversations.

Yup
High powered Rifle at a distance works like a Charm... Just Saying
Once she started falling, truck ought to have kept pulling.

Doing it the Dibna way!
Nobody got killed Yea...
The guy was nuts for walking behind that thing
You probably better have a cable at the top of that instead of a rope
If you have Amish in your community, they'll usually take it down in exchange for the staves.
Why didn’t you pull out the unloaded and seek it before you brought the silo down?
SpaceX could put a few rockets under that thing and launch it into space ! 🤔
why would u tear down a monument of the last farmer
Making room for a new shed.
I'm sorry was The silo crooked as long as a concrete solo is straight Make it last forever
Why?
Did you take down the siloh?It looked like it was imperfectly good sbabe , just a question
Well, it had quite a few blocks missing at the top, this is no longer an operational farm, and there is an addition to the barn being built there
are you blind?
Boys with toys.
Don't that just frost you
Can you image climbing up a high silo all the time to open a door. Dry dangerous
yes i can
A stubborn ol early Madison. Old Badger surface drive.
Yep you nailed it. 14x30
Why didn’t they take the blower pipes off to begin with?
They tried, but the ladder was not secure enough to climb up to take the last clamp off
Minigun
Sometimes they land like that then fall backwards into the barn. You amateurs got lucky. This time.
Are you a professional?
@@tordkarl No, there are a number of UA-cam fails showing what happens when it goes wrong. You guys were lucky.
@@toonertimesfour1158, I’m not one of them. I live in Sweden, was raised on a farm and know how to tear down a silo.
Typical farmer don't spend any money on anything...my grandpa from MN was a cheapskate on EVERYTHING
Well, turns out those were the paid professionals 🤣
🛌
So much done so wrong from placing the extension ladder unsafely onward.
Typical haphazard brother n cuz operators.
Stupid people. Use a tra tor to pull it over after cut was made. Dont wait for gravity to pull it down. That was a twenty minute job.
you can see the tractor in the back with a flat tire 🤷

They saved fuel ok
Don't laugh, Trump voters.
Yup, they have jobs.
@@rogerthomas169 And no student loans to forgive on a education that didn't pay for itself.
....and they grow all the food you eat
And they get the job done with little expense, in just a few hours. Rather than years, and pay $90,000 for a small bag of bushings like Biden voters.
