    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!

    I cant remember what year (probably around 2006/2007). My stepdad brought me to some sort of "bring your kid to work day" at SRS. He was a part of the SRT. He took me to what I believe to be that exact tower, and showed me the inside. I remember the echo inside of it was crazy.

Pity he wasn’t allowed to let you climb up to the top, 447’ above ground, to see my initials, and others, we carved in the wet cement the day we poured the final load. I timed myself walking up the steps erected on the outside of the tower: 25 minutes. When I got to the top, a worker was headed down to get something on the ground he needed.

    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.

    @@robertwest3093Walmart did NOT have anything whatever to do with Hudson’s closing. The video is inaccurate in stating that the chain closed in 1983; that specific building was closed that year while the Hudson’s name lived on at local malls for quite a while afterwards. Eventually they merged with the Dayton chain. The Dayton Hudson company created Target, which was eventually split off as it became bigger than the original. Later Marshall Fields bought Dayton Hudson. Then Macys bought that. The internet killed the shopping mall, and Macys killed what was great about Hudson’s. Walmart was never a competitor of any kind to a full department store like Hudson’s.

    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. 🇺🇸

    Some people confuse det cord for shock tube... one you can hold in your hand (not advised) while the 'impulse' from blast 'button' travels harmlessly towards next stage in demo circuit branching. Det cord will immediately amputate your entire hand and part of lower forearm. Most make that mistake only once. No one gets a real 'blast' out of it.

    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.

    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! 🤣

    Recently, John Hanekamp, a St. Louis-based coal industry consultant, stated that “the incremental coal production in India and China is exceeding whatever coal-fired generation capacity that was retired in the US and Europe. Whatever policymakers thought they were achieving by getting rid of coal, they’ve effectively done nothing but increase the cost of energy,” he said. “We haven’t changed anything but make ourselves energy poorer.”

    I think my favourite, not the most spectacular or technically demanding, was the four pink cooling towers synchronised perfectly all at once. The bridge at the beginning was great, the ISU halls great, but the 4-pinks still does it for me

You haven't lived until in a banger war with other kids one of theirs goes down your rubber boot with fuse fizzing (amazing how quickly you can get your foot out of a boot ...). There has to be an immense amount of knowledge and preparation in these demolitions ...

    From an early age my mother wouldn’t let me wear gum boots (wellies, whatever) during firework season. As a young girl, pre-antibiotics, she knew a boy who ended up losing his lower leg after sepsis set in, following a burn he got from a firecracker that jumped down his boot.

    A interesting fact...they demolished the Fort Steuben Bridge that was 80 years old and they painted and put new pretty lights on the Market Street Bridge that's been in use since 1903. Both are in Steubenville ohio and were only about 1 mile away from each other but the Veterans memorial Bridge was built in between the two and I suppose since the Fort Steuben Bridge had safety issues and Steubenville isn't that big of a area one of them had to go. Another fun fact is Fort Steuben, Veterans memorial and Market Street Bridge all connect Ohio to West Virginia over the Ohio River but it's West Virginias responsibility to maintain the bridges....I don't know why.

    1:00 That video has been making the rounds on the web for at least 10 years. The banging sound is the farmer knocking out more of the concrete segments that make up the silo. As far as him knowing what he is doing... There are plenty of exemples of silos just squatting without fully collapsing, or breaking the hinge and then falling the other way. Tall round structures are particularly hard to bring down safely. 13:26 The problem with demolishing towers and skyscrapers is often the core. In modern structures, it is by far the strongest part of the building. They are made to be airtight and able to stand up to the full force of a fire so that they can serve as an escape path, and as a refuge if necessary. When you see a tower partially collapsing, that's usually because they though that the rest of the core would collapse under its own weight and underestimated just how strong it actually was. 15:25 This is a perfect exemple of what often happens with tall round structures. It broke the hinge and squatted down, but fortunately, it already had already just enough sideways movement to keep going. The second tower was right at the edge of the target zone. It really does not take much for those kinds of structures to fall the wrong way.
