My friend's dad was an executive of Material Service back in the late 70s, who ran the quarry, and he took us down in the quarry to see it. Cool experience.
Who in their right mind would ever consider living withing 4 miles of this gaping eyesore!? I feel for y'all. I drive over this every week and finally, I take a deep dive (no pun intended 🤣) into research and am pleasantly amazed at the vastness of this project.
I've been driving by this quarry for decades in a truck. NEVER seen it with more than a bit of stagnant water in the bottom. I do remember seeing haul (dump) trucks going up and down, though ...
I thought we were going to get to see an explosion. Instead, we got Sgt. Safety and his pristine hardhat. Your thumbnail is clickbait and bilateral symmetry has left your face.
I80 at thorton Il it is /was the material service quarry it is a mile east of halsted st .this is on the north side quarry goes several miles south of the tollway .

@@tomp8871 This is actually a problem with most cities around the Great Lakes. They're old cities built when people thought you could dump any amount of anything in water and it would just go away.
That's the north one that closed. It's now used as an overflow for downtown Chicago, so they don't have to worry about flooding. They're still using the others, so that's where the blasts are coming from.
“Wanna see the most underwhelming video on TH-cam?”
“Sure, what ya got?”
Why when all office people come on to a job site with shiny new helmets they never have them on straight
Helmets? You are the office people.. 👏
It's a hardhat.
Lol
Because wearing them straight is boring

Its now 2018. Water is stagnant. On hot summer days, the stink carries for several miles.
That's just the usual Harvey stench.
What did you expect it's an open pit sewer. Im sure this came up in planning meetings, or not :)
Absolutely stupid
Stinks so bad

7.9billion gallons of water that was meant to be treated and discharged but never was

He resembles Dan Aykroyd.
Jaunty angle on the hardhat, too.

Wow!!!
"So our sewage and storm drainage systems are both ancient, interconnected, and prone to messy failures. We won't do anything about them, we'll just catch some of the mess and deal with that".
so it was a fail and waste of money?

@@thephantomeagle2 wrong sir it’s used for sewage i live on wolcott st in thornton they release raw sewage into north quarry
@@Grcoon thanks
🥂
and all those people getting paid to stand there...
This shows how worthless office people are. And last blast!? Weakest blast I've ever seen and clearly was for show because you barely moved any dirt!
That looks more like a tax payers money pit. The only thing it will do is make money for the builders.
Rather underwhelming! Best of luck!
Pay more taxes and live somewhere nicer duh
it’s not taxes! it’s still cook county and cook county has highest taxes in state
I bet that guy doesnt live near there. B.TW.wear your hard hat correctly. Mr. Side tilt.
What a waste.
Doesn't even know how to wear a hard hat?
Crap reservoir. Nice hole!
Well, that was pretty meh.
