That looks like a job for Fred Dibnah, he could do that man alone with some timber and a box of matches, AH the good old days before public and work place safety!

Definitely a job for Fred, just him no machinery required. RIP Fred.

He'd likely be disappointed at how badly maintained this was, though. Most of the ones he was toppling could have lasted another hundred years in use.

I’m sure Fred would approve

Not a patch on any of the Fred Dibnah videos

THis music really helped me with my constipation.

Guess we'll just ruin this video footage by dubbing in some truly irritating, obnoxious, and distracting background crappy-ass "music". Well done mates!

Very poor editing, clips too damn short. By the time ur eye’s focus on location on clip it has changed to next clip. Plus reading texts, when done, clip changes. He does have great videos shots.

Should run a competition - How many hits with Fred’s lump hammer did it take to knock the bricks out of the chimney to take it right down? Must e an arm wrestling champion now! Seriously though good to see it safely taken down, not a cheap exercise either!

Surely these bricks can be reused elsewhere?

Poofs I tell thee, Fred Dibnah would've been up that on a set of wooden ladders and had it down in a week. I bet some bloke in a suit with a hard hat, hi viz and a BMW probably took the credit for the work on that.

its lacking a tire fire and a claxon

It could have fallen over without help in a high wind: I've never seen such a slender chimney skin! Only two bricks thick at the top and only four or five at the base!!!

Dreadful isn't it? Should never have been signed off in the first place.

The chimney had no vortex shedding bands (at least until the 60's) and the stresses on the brickwork joints are evident

Something about fred

Lose that awful music

Kinda looks like the old power plant just outside Kingwood, wv

Industrial!Omg. gorgeous drone~ see ya~ 🤘

There just probably just aint to many Fred Dibnah's in this world to hammer it down in 2 months.

plenty of random extraneous apostrophes, however

I was expecting something different. Maybe some dynamite with the drone following the fall.

I wouldn't ask Fred to take that pos down.

Fred Would've done that on his own

Привет коллеги, отличная работа

It's a shame that this old chimney had to be torn down, but it is in disgraceful shape. Was it subject to earthquakes or just very badly constructed? The type of brick seems like the type to crack easily, as shown at the crown.

@@rustledjammies8769 😂 yeah buddy trust me all buildings need maintenance. If you abandoned even a modern house it would look shabby pretty quickly. All those old buildings in your town have been regularly looked after and maintained by someone, as nature will quickly reclaim anything man has abandoned.

In a few years time nobody will remember Fred in his hey day. He will be a figure on a film. That will be very sad!

Not to diminish the drone, but the severe damage could be seen from the ground.

What a bunch of whiners in the comments. Great job lads, well done

No booom, boring
