I love watching old silos go down like that. It's like they're riding an escalator to a lower floor ... and in the end they're flat. Amazing to watch. Going down!

All...seems like the general view is the music doesn't compliment the video, fair enough. However the intent was to show the destruction of the silo. Thanks to all of those with the positive comments - I'm happy you enjoyed this!

I was on crew that built those. Largest one was 110 feet. I also helped take one down that was only about 60 feet. We went over the sides, removing all support rods. Once on the ground, we moved the rods from collapse zone. Then taking sledgehammers, we knocked holes in base; 6 and 12, 3 and 9, 2 and 8, 11 and 5. Then making sure our path to hall assume was clear, we both took out 4 and 7 and ran. In less than 30 seconds the remaining bricks started cracking and about 15 seconds it came straight down in a pile.

So cool I've never seen a silo demolition before lol I wondered how people did it. Thank you for sharing cus now I know how it's done 😀😀 you guys are awesome.

A lot of crazy comments. Concrete silos are not obsolete and are still manufactured and are still used on hundreds of farms across the country. They are mostly used for haylage or corn silage, but if they're a top sealed with a bottom unloader they can be used for high-moisture corn. They're not the most efficient for large operations, but do keep the feed in a limited amount of ground space and a lot less waste.

[carlosmgonzalez]

Guys did a good job. And without the cloud of dust that always follow. But I did not see the 3 one fall or is it on a separate video? Either way, thanks.

[StepvanDan]

Running for your life laughing hysterically. My kind of people.

Sad to see them go down, those old silos are iconic

[greggyp]

I loved it!!! It looked like a comedian walking down the stairs without any stairs being there, just crouching lower and lower and lower

[videolabguy]

It has a good beat and you could dance to it! Nice job, boys!

Was that a David Brown/ Case at 2:32 ?

So, we don't need silos anymore?
