Years ago in my town there was a water tower that was 250 feet tall and the town sent out invitations to bid and all the contractors had bids that the town thought was too high. Then the high school physics teacher and the high school metal shop teacher put their heads together and they made it a school project and ended up doing the job for less than 5% of the lowest professional bid. The physics teacher designed the plan and the metal shop teacher and students carried it out and basically it was a matter of making a handful of cuts in the right places to weaken the legs then run a long cable around the weak legs taking a page out of Star Wars they tied the legs with the cable and basically pulled on it. 500 high school students pulled on the cables all at once and down came the tower. Then the metal shop teacher got the metal shop students to salvage the metal and added it to the school's materials inventory for projects though they had so much that they still had most of the structural materials left over so they sold it as scrap and that brought a few thousand dollars that went to new equipment for the school. Now they have the new water pumping station and new towers in place of the old ones and that produces five times what the old pumping station produced which is more than double the town's needs.

I like that you identify the structures being demolished and tell how and why. I get frustrated with videos that show demolition after demolition with no context given at all.

Demolitions are so satisfying to watch, all the Demolition engineers do insanely good jobs dropping these structures.

It's not the weit of the radio tower that does the work ,its the high tension of The other wires that pulls the tower down. The same effect can be achieved by accident if wrong techniques are used during maintenance on the tower, the stay wires are in so high tension that an uneven slacking of them can buckle or fold over the tower

Only one lamp standard was injured in the creation of this video.

Nice to have a little video in between all the commercials!

The weighted explosive blankets, as you called them, on the stay cables are only blast shield pads. The charges are smaller and attached directly to the cables.

i do demolition for a living, we use trackhoes with hammer attachments, the destroying part is great, every little boys dream job, clean up sucks, have to separate everything for proper disposal

I'd like a two hour video of the last demolition. A nice thing to have be played in the background (for Christmas). 😁

7:38 The lamp post didn't like it ! 😁

The Romans built structures that have lasted millennia; now sadly buildings' usefulness is measured in decades !

Now a compilation of demolition fails needs to be made, such as the failed demolition of the old Broadway Bridge in Little Rock, Arkansas.

That tower landing was quieter than my aluminum ladder when it falls down.

You forgot the Twin Towers, you know, 911.

Fred Dibnah would have taken down that single chimney with nothing but wooden props, sledge hammer and a load of wood. Well worth checking out on YT

Lol at the German firefighters trying to keep down the dust. GL with that

What a surprise to see the blast in Dortmund on this channel. I live in Dortmund and saw it live at the time. Unfortunately only from a greater distance.

Remember people: gravity is not just a good idea....it's THE LAW!

I remember many years ago, I was making a delivery of timber to a site in Kent, and next door to the place, there was an old industrial building of some sort being demolished. The was one big tracked machine, with huge hydraulic jaws at the end of a long arm, literally biting the building to pieces! Now that HAS to be fun!

Germany might like to have that power plant back now.

The overhead run ways were taken down with shape charges. They simultaneously cut the beams with shape charges.

Explosive weighted blanket, exactly what I need

Shame you haven`t included a chimney demolition by the Late Fred Dibnah, an English steeplejack who would use fire to bring the structure down! He would cut slots out of the base on the side that he wanted the chimney to collapse first, hammering a length of telegraph post in it`s place. It was important that he used telegraph post timber as it was a fast burning wood with an in-built accelerant. When he had sufficient timbers in place he would set a huge bonfire at the base of the chimney and set fire to it. The natural draw of the chimney would help the fire burn quickly and fiercely and when the timbers had weakened through being burnt away the weight over the now weak and missing timbers would bring the chimney down!

@ 9:35 That was one of the biggest "WOFTAM" scenes I've ever seen.

Interesting: starting at 1:22, you start hearing a faint "whooooooo" in the background. I'm assuming it's the air being forced out the top of the chimney as it collapses.

I'm looking forward to many more of these from GAZA.

Kudos for a live announcer, not the computer generated crap. However, comma, the tall transmitting device is called a tower or a mast. What was cut is a guy wire. The weight of the remaining guy wire pulls the tower over.The transmitter is not on the mast. It is in a house near the base of the tower.

Judging by the short delay between the explosions and the sound, and the fact that we can hear people in the background, I'd say that the people were too close.

We wanted to know why firemen were hosing down water on the clouds of dust. So asked the most qualified person on earth, who said it was to hose down the clouds of dust.

"As the world moves away from coal." Except China which opens a new coal power plant a week; but climate change doesn't count in China or India.

5:02 He actually said "Zündung" meaning "Ignition"

I think it's just the fact that who doesn't like to blow things up. And me being I loved explosions

New York is missing from the list.

10:36 was near my hometown 👆

Well of course we all should know how explosives work and are placed

2:40 give me ten 14 year olds with Crescent wrenches and I could save them money.

5:01 the guy on the loudspeaker said "Zündung" which is equal to go but if you want to translate it is basically means "Detonation". Just want to leave a comment for no reason, you know algorithm and stuff

Some of these towers could have been great bat or swallow habitats.

I guarantee that those Germans wish they still had that power plant online.

The Twin Towers and WTC Building 7 should be on this video.

Way too many advertisements for such a short video. Plus way more than enough shots of how the explosions brought the structures down.

The mixing plant demolition did not do the street-lamp standard much good. Coal mine cylindrical building oops.

Did this commentator used to do those steak knife ads? "Now how much would you pay?"

We can all agree that he has never disappointed us with this content, very, very cool, I also shoot such videos about interesting mysterious facts come see☺😉

The German word after the countdown was 'Zündung' which means ignition.

11:58 я вас растрою, мост не упадет!☝️ Паробола не нарушена, уберите элементы в начале верхних опор!

Your commentary is not accurate... a half-collapsed building still half-standing is not "a successful demolition with pin point accuracy"...

Looks like the bridge, sagged as the supports dropped

Fall down go boom Go boom fall down

Another amazing video to get through the day! :D

5:00 Why wasn't this small part of the building demolished at the same time as the rest of it? Seems odd to demolish around it first, then blow up this bit.

It was not a tower, it was a mast.

Please save us from the 5 minute commercial about a “Fishing Game”……..almost lost me there!

you forgot WTC building 7

I put an adblocker on my browser yet these people embed ads in the damn videos FFS who's interested in a ad riddled game stopped watching

We will never rid the world of coal until it is gone or cold fusion is possible.

Perhaps they should have left the coal mine buildings there... we may yet need them again... 😏

Wouldn't that been extra support?

Perhaps you'll enjoy no energy. No idea how you'll make money, but GL.

I wanted the transmitter tower to make a louder, earth shake boom when it hit the ground 😂

Underworld can you put all your best videos out and with most likes and views thx.

big fan sir jee

8:44 coal isn’t going anywhere anytime soon lol

The long stick excavator became a crane. Its no biggie.... just some technical terms. If i made videos about editing you tube videos i would not know the lingo either😇. Without going back thru you're vids.... i like em.

Bet they wish they kept that power plant now.

Next time you edit this video don't forget to include WTC 1. 2, and 7.

Embarassing demolition fail at 9:00 (partial pancake).

He counts down to three, in German..and presumably on "go" sets the explosive charge off !

"Transmitter pole." Transmission tower. Plus the weight of the transmitter is on the ground in the building, NOT on the pole. Get a better script please?

5:35 mobile: mo-bull, not mob-isle…

Too many commercials.

Not a patch on Fred Dibna check him out

You can always rely on gravity!

I hate that you show everything in the video at the beginning … kills the anticipation and mystery of what’s coming next …

Those Germans could use that power plant now! How stupid and sort-sighted.

Why not simply drive a plane into it.

the German 9/11 version

I bet Germany wished it hadn’t knocked down that nuke. 🙏🇺🇸

I’ve been to a number of demos. The toxic materials released are significant, and a real danger to anyone who inhales them. Don’t know how else to do it that wouldn’t be cost prohibitive. Maybe we should be building out, not up.

3:43 wow, even the Kharkov elevator in ukraine got into the video))

Should have called Fred Dibnah 👍

meh, not bad but its not how Fred Dibnah would have done it :D

Too much commentary!

I'd like you to do Tower 7 next

Love you bro ❤

RIP lamp @7:50

SÍ SÍ SÍ SÍ 😈😈😈😈😈

Your commercial ads are out of control and ruined the video! But then again these videos are not for entertainment, they are here to make money for you! Thanks, but no thanks - blocking your channel!

Great footage, awful commentary.

You make it sound as if you are taking the video but you are not!

Aqiss And Family 👼👼

А на хуа падпорки моста узрывать 11.40, хай быб падпирали.😕😕

You forgot the twin towers.

Po co tyle razy powtarzać ??????????

Eso no es una implosión

I 1st saw from you Guys how Demolitions go Wrong...... now I saw how they go right!

you left out 9/11

Where’s the 911 twin towers!!??
