Very informative video. I found it quite amazing the way that you go about your work.

That was really quite fascinating….not at all something one ever gets to see documentation of. Thanks !

Holy crap it didn't just derail those cars it shoved the rails and ties sideways at least 10 feet.

WOW THAT WAS COOL

Who was the manufacturer of the grain bin?

Strong work. Did a railroad recovery company move the derailed cars?

Nice!!

What was the price to clean it up most curious

that was a Lott of grain wonder what the cost of cleanup was

Narration asked at end to contact with any questions...I have a lot of questions...How much did that salvage operation cost...is litigation ongoing? Cause determined? etc, etc. BTW, I'm amazed they were able to do this in such a short period of time....fortunately, it looked like they had good weather the whole time and didn't have any rain....impressive operation....

Yea same with, Was the recovered grain good for human consumption or what happened to it? What happened to the rail carts, many broken beyond repair?

Any lessons learned here, to prevent further collapses?

62 lb corn with a rail next to it , the train vibrates , the corn settles , and the bin zippers !

Vern Goossen 62# spring wheat. A mass that huge doesn't vibrate from a rail car. It's like a fly landing on your foot

RJ 1999 the ground vibrates...the finely structured wheat most definitely settles & applies more pressure with each train that passes (my whole house shakes a ½ mile from the tracks) & in an industrial complex like this the trains run 24/7.

M. S. L. Your body or house doesn't have near the mass a bin that big being full has. Your talking millions of pounds, it's pretty difficult to make a mass that large vibrate enough to make grain settle. It's a good theory but in real life that's not what caused it

@@m.s.l.7746 I doubt a mass weighing 46.5 million # shakes much with a train going by. Not only that bins are built along railroad tracks all the time, they don't fail. It was either bolts that were not to grade, or poor engineering on the bin mfg.

I remember in the 80’s watching a news clip of a helicopter directly above a similar grain bin that was suspecting a failure. The helicopter rotated as some guy on the ground was watching. Then right there the bin collapsed. The guy on the ground had to run for it and he barely escaped. I think the weight of the air pressure created by the helicopter made the grain bin collapse and the helicopter pilot was doing something really dangerous and foolish.

Wow 62 pound spring wheat. Never heard of such heavy spring wheat. Winner yes Spring no.

Cleanup in isle 5.

What can this high moisture screened wheat be used for after recovered?

Unless it's organic!!!!

This isn't unusual at all. When you get a cold snap and the grain is warm because it is so dense it will keep pressure on the bin while the outer bin cools and shrinks causing shear forces that exceed the designed strength of the metal. Outcome is seem failure and once it starts it is like a tin can pushed open. I was physically at a location I cannot name and watched a 1M bushel corn tank when it go super cold split while the tank beside it remained intact. The failure cause is supposition but likely accurate given that the little research I have done doesn't show tank failure in warm weather....

Looks like the rotary girder failed.

I will like too know why they build concrete because western canada many build concrete this not first time this thing happen but why!

I hope they did not sent the grain to the mills and later made bread from it.....?

Can the corn be salvage, make whiskey or moonshine. Just wondering.

Phil Swift showed up with some of the flex seal tape sh** and made a couple wraps around the bin, fixed it like new. Don't believe me? He made a screen door into a boat with his spray crap.

I took a chance on a spray can of Flex Seal for a camper roof leak that always came back and it's been good for three years now. No cracking, splitting or peeling like the other $200 worth of worthlessness I bought.

Started watching some of these videos and this one has been the most boring one BY FAR; watching radioactive decay is more exciting Thanx from the left coast near the Krapitol of California

LOOK FOR RECYCLED METAL IN THE BIN CONSTRUCTION..RECYCLED METALS SHOULD NEVER EXCEED 50% OF ITS WORKING LOAD CAPISITY. IT WILL FAIL...
