Superb demolition such a amazing crowd to come and see a local landmark earmarked for demolition.

the blowdown attracted quite a crowd including myself witnessing a landmark dissappear into history

Ridiculous how this shite government has got rid of these stns so quick loads of board men out of work and contractors

Sad to see that saw it built saw it demolished worked there for 40 years 😢

Love this place, i made a similar video ✌ liked and subscribed 👍👍👍

The UK could design and build proper stuff back in the day. We could build an immense fleet of coal-fired and nuclear behemoths. Cathedrals of electricity production. Not anymore. We don't have the skills and capabilities to create equipment like Ferrybridge C today. The video, showing the demise of this great "servant of the nation", is a metaphor for the decline of British manufacturing.

Utter Madness, all for an idioligy that is simply not happening and never will, the climate change hoax....will leave us all the worse off in the end....

This is a horrendous waste of a perfect part of our power grid and national energy security. This process of decarbonisation of the power industry will be regretted n the years to come !

And now we are living through a government induced energy crisis. Thankfully government has the solution too (sarcasm intended).

This looks awesome mate 😎

So sad. We'll come to regret the destruction of Ferrybridge C in our current electricity supply crisis. When wind speeds drop National Grid cannot rely upon wind farms. Hence the remaining coal-fired power stations in the UK are on standby at present and will be for the foreseeable future until new nuclear generating capacity is available. Keltbray I am sure are doing a very professional job but nonetheless this is a very short-slighted act of industrial vandalism.

sure is a big boy

This going to go all for scrap? Or being sold Or being restored?? Would love to know

Irritates me the wholesale destruction of power stations around the world! Wind and solar are inverter based and cannot provide base load and stabilise a complex grid needing large amount of system inertia and reactive power or VARs.

Looks great Adrian 👍

Amazing how 3 years of filming can be condensed into 3m and 23 seconds and tell the story.

Thats the generator rotor and stator.

In black of tower is a eyes tower

The sound of ecomical war, baby!!!!

Cut up the turbines up at ferry bridge and the the motors and rotors and some of the hp heaters took some good pictures of the turbine hall before it got touched

1:32 That's the biggest linear shaped charge I've ever seen.

Professional videography. Well done Sky Captain 👍👍

Looks great but we are going to pay a high price in the future, no industry left so we will have to rely on our neighbours who we have just put two fingers up to !

Need that coal back now don't ya

Superb drone piloting, very close to the structures and the dust clouds produced. What a view!

Using controlled demolition to take tall things down low where they can be cut up for recycle or landfill is far safer and cleaner than much slower traditional demolition. It is far cheaper to clean up once after large explosive demolition compared to contractors having to continually clean up every day. Excellent vantage points to really see the actual 2 separate stages of explosions on steel structure. The lucky guy pushing the blast button sends a small charge through Shock Tube. You can see a flash move towards structures. Then you can see much larger line of Det Cord go off that connects to blasting caps with timed delays and explosives. First explosion is the shaped charges going off and slicing through pre-notched steel columns. That is followed by the 'kicker charges' which moves steel that has been sliced seconds earlier. Once the steel sections are moved out, gravity takes over. Like breaking legs on a table. With nothing supporting it, table will tip over. The chimney bases were pre-cut, and concrete removed in direction they are going to fall. It's like felling a tree with back and front cuts. It's always amazing to watch giant chimneys actually come apart in pieces even before hitting ground. As the chimneys are falling in an arc, they are accelerating faster and faster. The stress is enough to make them break apart in midair, no extra explosives needed. Also, you can clearly see plywood boxes and other shielding like chain-link fence, fabrics, and sand to contain flying fragments from the shaped charges and kicker charges. The chimneys also had fabric wraps and sand to contain flying debris. The exclusion zone required public to be far enough away so any flying debris could not strike them. It's really bad PR when spectators who are dying to get a closer look actually die. Gunny says "Great Job... Well Done"

Great professional job and footage Shame the governments hadn’t planned a replacement

I Loved That Night Time Sound 🇺🇸.

I would make a short... Just the moment of the explosion

This really makes you feel old, did my scaffolding improvership on these fifty odd years ago, I have photographs from the top and from the catheads with the Holst scaffolding crew.

Pretty sweet what drone did you use thanks for the all the new perspectives by drone

I have just come to this thank you very much for the upload.the best and most detailed of all the footage that has been put up on here so far so thank you very much once again.

Thanks for the footage I saw you had the drone up

Thank you very much for the upload this is the best footage so far it would have been better done at 10 a.m. on Sunday morning instead of at night time.

Amazing footage. Thank you for your continuing hard work.

Never even heard it and only live down road in sherburn in elmet

Man i would have give half of a pinky to fly there ( I fly with my thumbs anyway :D ) Awesome clip

DAMN! the way the dust/smoke rolled inwards while the drone passed by was badass. Nice one.

Bad flight

Это просто невероятно❗️❗️❗️

That’s amazing. Thank you for sharing.

Nota mil 👍

Myślę to wyburzenie?

I love the sound!

Hmmm?

What?

How?

Wow

Which station was that? Eggborough or Ferrybridge?

That was incredible. Glad to see you having fun with FPV. Great footage.
