Love how explosive destruction is still one of the number one forms of entertainment that every human across the world loves watching
And you hear the exact whooping hollering cheers and claps no matter which video you view or what country. Everyone loves a good boom. Unless it's war, of course.
As long as it's planned anyway.
And with older building you can get nice dose of asbestos inhaled.
SHHH, people will think we’re bombers😂 (absolutely NO racist intent, meant as a joke)
Humanity loves a good kaboom.
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.
@@user-pp3jo6zm6u If you saw any natural draft cooling tower AT SRS, I assure you it was this one!
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 asked him how long it’d take him one way: 9 minutes!
As is life, we build it, use it, and tare it down... I'm sure it was a magnificent structure. You have to admit though, it is impressive to see the power of explosives take it all down in a matter of seconds.
Gone Green😂
thank you.
There was an old textile factory beside my elementary school that had been abandoned in the early 90’s when the company moved overseas. I remember sitting in the school cafeteria as my friends and I were in awe at the sight of a 40 feet tall and 200 feet long brick wall tumbling down during the demolition process. It was such a cool sight
There was this time an asteroid fell from the sky and shit it was a cool experience bro
where is building 7??
Ask CDI.
That banging sound we hear in the video was exactly what the narrator thought it was, and I loved how perfectly it came down.
In the movies I watch, you hear different banging sounds.
@@1337fraggzb00N lol
1am fried, watching demolition videos😂 life can’t get no better!
That's what I'm doing
true that but 2am for me

Usually I hate voice-overs on videos but this guy has nailed the tone and humour perfectly 👌
What about HAL 9000 (2001: A Space Odyssey, released in 1968)? His voice sounds so calm in my opinion...
Jerry Jones was the death of the Dallas Cowboys for me. I haven’t watched them since he bought them.
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 used to wrap igniter cord around a big tree to mock it down. Then a couple of sticks of dynamite under the stump would get rid of them. Had a lot of fun. Farmers could buy dynamite tears ago.
That’s so cool ☺️ my father is an electrical engineer and I love learning
@@SJR_Media_Group Valuable Information, Thank You Sir.
@@josephpacchetti5997 Thanks for comment. You gained some info from me, and I gained some info from you. That is what is so great about TH-cam.
Wouldn't you have loved to see some chap carrying a clipboard shouting "Not this Bridge! Not this one!"
no not really
Don't worry, I would have
No
That would be funny as he'll. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
STOP TALKING! JUST SHOW THE VIDEOS

@@robert-fz3kuSHADDUP, CORNHOLIO!!! 😂
I couldn't agree with you anymore, but instead of sitting through him talking you could just fast forward to the clips
The Twin towers and building number 7 were a controlled demolition
Don’t be mean
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.
Yes, would have been wonderful to have seen in in the mid 1950's in its heyday . and people use to dress up to go out shopping . The women wore wonderful clothing . Looked like Doris Day
@@stevenphillips3466. True, though I didn't start flying there until 1967. I wonder if they'll ever say that about Walmart customers.
Another classic retailer put out of business by Walmart.
Yea its kinda sad to see old architecture being completely replaced by modern designs. Especially when its still perfectly good.
@@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.
Good morning from Sydney Australia
Good morning from Ohio U.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.
ART IS AN EXPLOSION
WOW THAT FIRST ONE WAS SMOOTH AND CLEAN WOW
That’s what I was thinking
Well , this was a blast -
It just impresses me the skill that it takes to perfectly bring down such massive structures. Amazing engineering. 👍❤️
Right? 9/11 amazes me every time i think of it....
@@tom-vf1xv That was terrorism, not engineering.
Bringing down the Hudson Building is a total waste of manpower and resources. No small wonder we have global warming these days.. So they couldn't find a use for the building or re purpose it ? Have these idiots any idea how much it costs to fire just one single brick ? I guess not.. We do not need to pull down buildings.. We need to keep them and give them an over haul .. its a lot less costly to you me and the planet.. AND THATS A FACT.
… yes … like the WTC on 9/11 … another astonishing controlled demolition…when 2 planes brought down 3 buildings
@@jamesbond8191 so sorry if it's late
There is something satisfying about seeing such huge structures fall perfectly down without damaging the surrounding stuff.
Bit like 9:11 huh?
and finally.. REAL "FOR THE BOYS" CONTENT on this platform
I can’t wait for the day to come when everyone unanimously understands that it’s not okay to film vertically. JUST. FLIP. THE. PHONE.
I fear the world will never catch on. So irritating.
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.
ah yes, the classic battle that everybody knows, humanity vs literally EVERYTHING else... this time it was the eagle's turn to pick a fight with humanity, and yet somehow, we still succeeded. top marks for the effort in trying to stop us from blowing the life out of a century old bridge tho!
What result in a more powerful explosion, one that blasted a crater 15 feet deep & 15 feet wide... or blasted a crater 8 feet deep & 30 feet wide ?
Watching stuff blow up is entertaining to everyone
🤯👀😱 That was quite a spectacular demolition! It's amazing that you were the Project Manager on the construction of the cooling tower at Savannah River Site in SC. It's a shame to see such a successful project being demolished, but sometimes it's necessary to make way for new developments. It's great to hear that the project was completed ahead of schedule, under budget, and with successful pre-operation tests. Congratulations on a job well done!
I think you meant to reply to another comment but couldnt
You, my friend, know how to make a great compilation! It's annoying when there's ALL talking (over the clips and everything sometimes), but I also find it boring when there is no talking. Nice balance and an amazing and informative video!
4:20 The charges did not go off "in perfect unison" all at once. The charges went off "In sequence" one after the other. Not the same thing,
Have a nice day, thank you for the video.
I was there for your #1 demolition ..as a kid I shopped at J. L. Hudsons with my Mom and Grams..you should have scene their Christmas set up on one of the floors..something to behold as a kid...glad it made it into your Video.
Thank you for not calling them "implosions".
there are 3 famous buildings that are strangely missing from this...
Going over so many hundreds of comments I only find 3 mentions of the most obvious and amazingly professional jobs done. I figured all the comments would be about the missing demolitions but I guess not. One of the comments about it was written in Russian, otherwise many were blocked probably.
@@bobchiggs I bet countless of them have been blocked. I have to say things without saying them to get them to pass Mao-tube's filters...
I did end up finding a lot of comments - pushed to the back, and many with dozens of likes. But most had a standard type reply attached "debunking" any idea that it could have been anything other than what the MSM told us. I'm sure those replying wear their covid masks, are well vaxed and believe that Oswald was a lone shooter too.@@perseusrex614
i think they didn’t want to because the crazy people getting offended would kill him (not trying to take it lightly at all, but it’s not like he’s disrespecting the towers, just showing them.)
@@aquaspaws you are probably right, that has to be a factor. that, or the uploader isnt awake yet...
Hudson department store, the most iconic store in the world....never heard for it.
Very good presentation! The replays from several angles are very good. 🙂
I watched many games in Texas Stadium,,,,I was their when Leon Lett slid on that blocked field goal that cost Dallas the game in the snow,,only time it ever snowed in a Cowboys game,,still have that ticket stub,,Cowboys later that year won another Super Bowl!
Having been a fan of the Red Faction Guerilla Video Game; controlled demolition was my favorite part of the game, such as trying to direct buildings to fall into each other for maximum effect. It was amazing how they managed to make it so that you could control directional collapse in the game.
What about mecenaries 2 world in flames
@@kingdomross8974 never played it unfortunately
@starlightdragon2665 Good game
1:14 that looked dope
Just sat on the toilet, algorithm passed the vibe check.
The 11th one was so relatable lol 😂
I hoped they safely removed those bees before they blew up the cooling tower. Save The Bees!
They definitely would have tried....first smoke it and then find the Queen and her brood and take out that chunk of hive(if it is a honey bee) and take to a bee hive...and put in there. Which means most of the bees will not fit but that is OK, the Queen can hatch more worker bees. Apiarists know what they are doing.
13:30 Scotland's finest giving their considered opinion on the fact that 2 of the towers are still partially standing 😂
Not playing 1812 Overture on this video feels like a massive missed opportunity.
It is amazing that a building that took a few years to build can be completely demolished in just a few minutes. 🏭
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! 🤣
That was back in the day of everyone prospering from the auto makers industries!
Don't forget about the 12th floor Christmas displays!
This narrator and video is full of false reporting and ridiculous "facts" but hey, they made $ because so many watched
When I lived in New York, there was a pair of structures (some sort of pressure towers or gas towers...) about 3/4 of a mile from my house, that were scheduled for demolition. I wasn't able to go watch it in person, but was watching it live on TV. It was a bit weird when I saw it go boom on TV, then about 4 to 5 seconds later heard the boom from the outside.
@Bruno Friedrich I was completely expecting this comment, but no, I was already gone from New York by then.
@@shakawhenthewallsfell8570 Yeah, it's coming haha I think the towers were definitely a Demolition job. Those "Eastern Students" that were taking pictures inside the towers 2 weeks before the attack "unknowingly" snapped pictures of a bunch of boxes inside the towers, if you look up that one letter and bunch of numbers that's on the side of the boxes, it traces back to a company that manufacturers detonation fuses. If you look at the pictures, you can clearly see it's inside the towers also,, just by the windows and the buildings outside the windows. Wonder why detonation fuses were inside the towers right before the attacks 🤔
@@shakawhenthewallsfell8570 I've watched footage of interesting things that happened that day, and the planes didn't have windows in them or numbers on them that I saw, and the fact that many people heard explosions prior to the collapse of the towers, and the 3rd building coming down some 7 hours later, also the temperatures involved in melting the steel would have been greater, {Think Thermite} This leads me to believe that these were NOT Terrorist attacks, But orchestrated by the U.S. Government, I realize this is an extreme assumption, and a lot of people will be upset by this statement, but I call it like I see It.
Temba, his arms wide.
Great comment. Sound travels 1 mile in 5 seconds. When watching lightning, right after the flash start counting. Divide those seconds by 5 and get distance away from you. 5 second count is 5 secs / 5 = 1mile for example. Or 15 second count = 15 / 5 = 3 miles away.
yes, somehow destroying the tower stops it from being a 80 million dollar waste of money, the logic of that remark escapes me
Good thing there was an intrusive narrator to tell us what was happening. I turned the sound off.
Very good presentation, much, MUCH better than any I have seen so far. Looking forward to viewing more of the same from you.
Thank you for this great tutorial on how to stretch a 7 minute video to 25 minutes xD
Thanks youtube for recommending this to me on September 11th 💀
Bro said 25 min of videos and put 20 minutes of only his chirps! I was out here expecting a good sleep.
Such an impressive thing to watch. The precision is second to none.
Tbh they could’ve repurposed the Hudson building. That was a piece of architectural art and history that seems like it was wasted
Deidara, Megumin and Bakugou approve of this video!
So satisfying to watch this.The guys who do this must be stress free.
As a Combat Engineer, I sure do love watching things getting blown up.
Just helping gravity do its thing.
Don't leave without saying R.I.P to the bees 😢
Your comment gave me a buzz.👍🏾
1:07 I love how it just slid down
nyooooom gone
never knew someone could ruin something as satasfying as a building being demolished.
Controlled chaos
That's the natural of successful demolition. There are television programs, where you can watch demolition experts do this stuff. ❤️
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.
that 1998 JL hudson implosion is always the most insane one, so big they didnt expect the dust cloud to go through downtown like that
This was such an excellent video. I like a bit of demolition at times, but this was head and shoulders above the usual bang & dust cloud fare - enjoyable though that is.
Providing the history and context of the buildings turned this video into History proper, some of it fascinating, some of downright poignant or even rather heartbreaking, in the case of Detroit.
Superior stuff all around.
Who really could say no to having a huge beehive?!! Especially knowing they help grow our food! I at least hope they removed them before demolition. 😢
Yes I hope they were removed
I was thinking the exact same thing. Terrible waste if they did not. Bees have enough problems as it is.
Exactly my thoughts!!
Don't worry folks, all the bees came to my front yard after that blast. Seriously! 🤔🤭
i suspect whoever was in charge of the county or city didn't want it because it didn't come with a lot of lobbying cash or an opportunity to become a lobbyist after he retired from government
There's an art as well as technical know-how here. Myself, I never got past "Light blue touch paper and retire" on the squibs and bangers when I was a kid. 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.
Every building was harmed in the making of this video!
Facts
Most of the material can be reused instead of blowing it off.
But these ppl like to blow things up
These were all super cool but I’m kind of sad I didn’t get to see the demolition of the World Trade Center towers. That would have been so cool to see!
Are you sick in the head or just stupid?
I thought you nutjobs had moved on to watching Dylan Mulvaney videos.
You are NOT funny
Typical distasteful 9/11 conspiracy theorist nutcase.
Something about these demolitions looks very familiar to me.
Makes you wonder 🤔
Cough 9/11 cough
more like building 7
It's amazing that people are so ignorant.
Glad somebody said it! I was thinking it... 😮
This is top of the list of types of video that do not need commentary
The fact that you just sat there and didn’t try to help…
Great vid op. On the vibe of the Glasgow, Scotland demolitions,there was another in Glasgow,1993 (queen Elizabeth flats,not the tallest,but I think the longest/widest block in Europe??) A woman spectating,was sadly killed by flying masonry whilst spectating (Luckily I was in a safer spot) a spectacular,but tragic day😢
23:27 they should have kept the Hudson’s building and turned it into lofts etc. it looked fantastic
6:01
I just witnessed a grain silo walking down some stairs now i’ve seen everything 😂😂😂
Smokes not the only thing rising to the heavens. Rest in peace pigeons
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
Great video.... Would have loved to have seen how the land lay after the dust had settled x
You gotta love that Kraft Mac and "Cheese" that most other countries won't let them sell to 😃
I wish 3 rivers stadium made the list. Lived in Pittsburgh for 19 years and watched the demo live on channel 11 news
How come wtc7 and the twins arent on here..those were PERFECT DEMOLISHIONS!!
Because the twin towers was a terrorist attack
I would have loved to gone through the JL Hudson building and do an interior video of interesting things left inside such as design, construction style and art from days gone by.
That first bridge wasn’t disposed of, it was ‘scrapped’. That metal likely went off to a large furnace to be melted and sold for reuse. It’s a precious commodity, believe it or not
that was someone with a sledge hammer on the silo. They literally chop them down like trees.
Where's world trade 7?
Yes, Professor Leroy Hulsey proved that WTC7 was a GLOBAL collapse, and NOT a progressive collapse.
What this means is that the ENTIRE building collapsed AT THE SAME TIME!
This means that fire did NOT cause the collapse. This is because fire-induced collapse is always uneven, never symmetrical.
Thank you
They left out the most famous demolition in history, the Twin Towers!
I would add the telecommunication tower demolition in Yekaterinburg, Russia, my place of birth, in 2018.
Great to see Glasgow on this list 🏴🏴
Please join us for next weeks episode of "Countless Hours of Wind Turbine and Solar Panel Demolitions Because It Takes On Average 3 Million Solar Panels and 430 Wind Turbines To Replace One Nuclear Power Generator"
It would be nice to see what's left after the smoke clears..
It's not smoke. Those massive clouds is dust and other construction materials powderizing while the building or structure grinds against itself as it crumbles to the ground. I don't hang out for demolitions; I wouldn't want to be breathing that crap. One particular demo in this episode made so much dust, I thought I was starting to smell it here in front of my monitor!
@@justaskin8523 Some of it is smoke from the blasting charges -
That silo falling over like that was kinda neat.
Why didn’t they just turn these power plants into giant museums
Stupidville ohio? 1:47
I was on a pub crawl in ironbridge many years ago. Standing outside the pub next to the river and looking up and seeing those towers was quite creepy. They were very overbearing over the top of the trees.
Wish I knew more about why business stopped for those cooling towers. I thought they were a great site nestled within those Ironbridge hills.
That grain silo gracefully floated down to lay its weary brow upon the ground...
🇿🇦
Imagine having a job where you get to calculate how to destroy a building with 100% satisfaction
Makes sense
Majstersztyk, absolutne mistrzostwo to były te dwie wieże WTC w Nowym Jorku.
Też o tym pomyślałem
You forgot to add in WCT tower 1 & 2, along with WTC building 7 in NYC 2001 USA.. but that would have prevented you from being monetized
Blowing stuff up is the best job in the world. 💣💣💣💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥
4:04 imagine somebody was doing a 24 challenge inside
You forgot those two big towers and the smaller one that all fell the exact same way on the same day.
Sir
Too bad it wasnt 25 minutes of u not talking
4:00
I love America, we all love our community bonding explosion demolitions
12:50. I'm from Glasgow and it's so surreal to hear anyone say "Red road flats" in anything other than a Glaswegian accent.
