Love how explosive destruction is still one of the number one forms of entertainment that every human across the world loves watching

I just found this. I’m amazed they filmed it! The cooling tower at Savannah River Site in SC. 

I was the Project Manager on the project that constructed it! We finished the project ahead of schedule, under budget, and the tower completed successfully every pre-operation test we conducted. That’s a successful project by any definition. And they blew it up!

For what it’s worth, it was the right decision for the right reasons when it was made. Still, we worked so hard and we did so well!

There was an old textile factory beside my elementary school that had been abandoned in the early 90’s when the company moved overseas. I remember sitting in the school cafeteria as my friends and I were in awe at the sight of a 40 feet tall and 200 feet long brick wall tumbling down during the demolition process. It was such a cool sight

Usually I hate voice-overs on videos but this guy has nailed the tone and humour perfectly 👌

That banging sound we hear in the video was exactly what the narrator thought it was, and I loved how perfectly it came down.

I grew up a block away from the #3 Storm and Knapp dorms. They were called the "suitcase dorms" because they looked like giant suitcases with the handles on top. Another reason they were torn down was that chunks of concrete were breaking off the sides, endangering students on the ground. When they were built the construction company used rock from a quarry that, unbeknownst to them, also had iron ore in it. Within a few years there were rust streaks down the sides of the buildings. The presence of iron ore also weakened the concrete. For the next two dorms they used another quarry. Those two are still in use.

Back in the early 80s, I worked as an Explosive Engineer {Blaster} And there is quite a bit of work and knowledge that goes into these projects, You must know what type and amount of charge goes where and the amount of delay for the blasting caps, And the proper detonation cord to use if necessary, some detonacion cord is about 1/4" in diameter and has a TNT core, if lit with a lighter, will burn slowly like a fuse, however if connected to a #8 electric blasting cap, will detonate at a set velocity, Thanks Underworld. 🇺🇸

There is something satisfying about seeing such huge structures fall perfectly down without damaging the surrounding stuff.

[mjney]

Wouldn't you have loved to see some chap carrying a clipboard shouting "Not this Bridge! Not this one!"

[Clork]

WOW THAT FIRST ONE WAS SMOOTH AND CLEAN WOW

[Peter_Vidgeon]

I was saddened by the Hudson Store demolition having visited it every time I flew as airline crew to Detroit from the UK. After breakfast I walked from the hotel to the store and took the elevator to the top floor and walked round all the departments, taking the escalators down one by one. I still have the working Swing-away wall-mounted can-opener I bought there and gave to my late mother back in the last century.

We demolished an even older bridge in my hometown on the Ohio River a few years back. It was well over 100 years old when it finally closed for good.

Part of the reason why it took so long to demolish is that it had an eagle living under it for years. It would also attack people who walked the bridge, so they had to take out the stairs leading up to the walkway to discourage people from using it.

1am fried, watching demolition videos😂 life can’t get no better!

[smgspadezz]

You, my friend, know how to make a great compilation! It's annoying when there's ALL talking (over the clips and everything sometimes), but I also find it boring when there is no talking. Nice balance and an amazing and informative video!

[LeviStoryteller]

ART IS AN EXPLOSION

[lindalewis]

It just impresses me the skill that it takes to perfectly bring down such massive structures. Amazing engineering. 👍❤️

[epicmomentshub]

I’m convinced this is movie magic! These incredible moments caught on camera are insane.

[metatechhd]

🤯👀😱 That was quite a spectacular demolition! It's amazing that you were the Project Manager on the construction of the cooling tower at Savannah River Site in SC. It's a shame to see such a successful project being demolished, but sometimes it's necessary to make way for new developments. It's great to hear that the project was completed ahead of schedule, under budget, and with successful pre-operation tests. Congratulations on a job well done!

Good video. bit too log though.... I had to scroll every so often...

I think the JL Hudson store was still active in the late 60s/early 70s. I remember their annual "white sale" was a huge draw for everybody in the city of Detroit as well as the suburbs. My parents took us there one year, and in my little-kid memory, I just remember waves and waves of people getting excited about mattresses and pillows. If the sales were any good, my dad would have tied stuff to the hood, trunk, and roof of the car for the trip home. But I don't think we bought a single thing. My mom did better at Kresge and we got to get milkshakes too. So much for high-froth sales! Oh, and mom for the win! She and her sisters were shopping ninjas with "Monkey Wards", Kresge, and at the little K-Mart cafeteria where you could get a burger or hot dog while you were waiting to see where the blue light was going to get moved to! Oh and don't forget Sears. Craftsman tools back then were the cat's ass; my dad rarely bought any other kind of tool. Plus Sears had that HUGE candy kiosk where you could get sick on "Swedish Fish" all day long! 🤣
