Comment:  First looking at that smokestack, I thought it was a wonder it held up to the wind for so long, but then I noticed those metal bands holding together; kind of a clever design. Cool video.
Comment:  good video and great job! Pity it had to be done from the downwind side though, with the dust blowing all over the machine. I also think of all the man hours, effort and skill that went into building the chimney in the first place!
Comment:  Interesting to see how masonry structures fail over broad areas when outside force is applied.  Were they attempting to save or protect any of the other structures in the area, such as the silver stack
Comment: Great video.  Sad to see a brick chimney like that go down but i need to go.  Just think about the labor that was needed back in the day to build that and it took that machine probley less than a hour to knock down
Comment:  ANYONE who thinks that is easy needs to research it a bit more! working at that height and taking into account the weight of the boom/dipper is VERY hard!!! this is a job well done!
Comment:  I just think, what giant balls the people that built that dang thing had! laying brick 150' up... amazing
Comment:  They started at the top so they could better control where it landed. Start at the bottom, and the top might end up 50 meters away.
Comment:  How long does it take to demilish a chimney like that with that machine
Comment:  I always wanted to be in the demolition business. Unfortunately I would have a tendency to demolish any building or structure I didn't like the look of!
