Its sad to see eggborough go, i used to work there in 2004 when they were installing the FGD as a security officer. I can still remember leaky pipes pi*sing on my head whilst trekking about the place.

I love Guy Martin and miss watching him race TT. However, if I close my eyes and listen to him, I can't help but picture a leprechaun in a green hat. :-)
Interesting. Some of the footage used in this documentary belongs to a company who were not asked if their footage could be used and or given credit for their work. Is this a copyright situation ?
Amazing. They invite a guy from Lincolnshire to blow up a power station I can see from my front door but are incapable of telling me when it's going to happen. As an aside, the boiler house was expected to turn into a heap on the floor. It didnt. Two frames remained half standing and took in excess of 9 months to be dismantled using two large mobile cranes. Did i mention I can see it from my front door?

No one begrudges coals usefulness in the modernisation of the world but cheaper and cleaner power generation will benefit forever. All energy has and will come from the sun, including geothermal, solar, wind, and hydro, the Sun powers them all. Think long term or not at all.
Me and guy martin gonna build a spaceship 🚀 welcome to the scariest conspiracy of your life ☘️🇮🇪 featuring all your road racing stars turned mafia militia 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
green washing how many people will and do die when u have only 1 power sauce 80k fighting age imergrents in uk and power lines vulnerable with no gas back up
Guy's enthusiasm is so infectious. Love the lad.
First there was Fred. Now there's Guy. And I'm equally fascinated and overjoyed by both of them.
He even said did you like that. Nice touch
Fred was on another level. The crazy shit he did will never be seen again in the UK.
5:03 nice little nod to the legend Fred Dibnah
5:03 strong Fred Dibnah vibes right there haha
Worth it for the look on his face alone, amazing
Guy is the man! I equally enjoy watching the content as I do watching him! He just about has the best gig out there!
Neat and tidy demolition! Well-presented. I liked this post so much I subscribed. Cheers.
That’s the best footage I’ve seen of a demo🤙
why u dot the devil of horns? no need for devil handsigns.
@mr. purchaze it’s a Shaka
I just knew he would channel Fred's line after the chimney went down...... he didn't disappoint.
How neatly did that lum fall.
What a perfect pile. 👏🏻
Short may the lum reek, with another man's coal
A Fred Dibnah remark, very apt….
Some pallets an truck tyres . Dibnah would of had her down in a week. May he R.I.P
Had little respect for the "dynamite lads" though 😉
@@paulobrien3102 and he even has the same speech mannerisms as Fred, and none of the alcoholism. I love the guy
@@minibigs5259 Very true, some wood and fire, job done!!!!

The lad's smile makes me smile. Bloody magnificent, job well done.
Old Fred would've been proud...
That fall was beautiful! - that would have made Fred Dibnah proud.
Love seeing so many Fred Dibnah comments. He would have been proud
Yes, Dibnah famously cared about youtube comments
Turn in your man card if you wouldn't be just as giddy pushing the button on such a textbook explosion. Love it.
While China is building more coal plants, we are left paying the price with increased prices. So these greedy companies are making huge profits
How is everyone blind to that?
Yep and that thing he just demolished even produced electricity at night time and when the wind didn’t blow
Yep, I just left a similar comment. These fools are cheering on the next stone age.
@@stevenjohns1322builds a nuclear plant on the same land
Watching people cheer on the next stone age just blows my mind. Good luck not freezing to death in the winter.
Good luck not being a tawt.
@@samuelgarrod8327 don't get me wrong, we screwed ourselves over long ago. Life is but a dream.
I know right it is a slow motion tragedy.
Great video, “fancy a brew”?
Cannot hate on any of guys videos they are amazing he's so knowledgeable and interested in everything and he draws you in with his enthusiasm
WOW.. well done lads ..
Always got to respect hard graft. Perfect job 👍🏼
“Did you like that” Fred Dibnah
A million hours, 114 years? Not bad for a power station that was only in operation for 51 years!
probably meant to say GWh maybe it was about 2 GW potential.

anyone get the feeling they might regret that,cos when the wind dont blow and the ship dont go we got barter to farter to starter......

Nobel isn't pounced Noble.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Still waiting for when they make power in the dark with no wind 😂.
Top drone pilot
That's Crackin Guy!!!
How the face on him!!, haha, kiddy in a candy shop.
Guy Martin, Fred Dibnah's successor.
The abandoning of Fossil Fuel will cost us all dearly; it will also be the biggest mistake ever made.
Stone age didn't end for a shortage of rocks
@@666t - and your point is?
How so ?
Absolutely.

good vid
Just like a kid in a candy store!
Let's be honest what man wouldn't enjoy this? Lol
I thought they skipped number five in a countdown
Yes and look how much the cost of energy has risen
He could of done a Fred Dibnah but must admit, blowing things up is more entertaining.
Fidler's Ferry shut off it's furnace in 2020, Covid related... Maybe... Well anyways, supposed to come down this year, hope not to miss it.
Did you like that.
Why do we humans like good explosions which tear things apart? 🤔
drones have revolutionised video recording
That's not how Fred would have done it.
He would have demolished it a tard bit slower.
@@m101ist And with a bit of respect for the work that went into building it
@@m101ist and would have hundreds of people about 10 yards away from where it dropped
Guy is amazing, the narrator much less so

Voice over just had to preach crap about climate change didnt he.
Guys stock just went way down with me.
Because that is the driving force behind getting rid of coal. What else did you think it was going to be because of?
Carbon free is total & utter nonsense
Sun provides and has always provided all energy
Here hear
Hate the green propaganda
cgi :)

This is terrable the Ukrainian war kicked off and if we had this coal power station we would of been better off
