great video! just watched with wyatt👍

Man the dangerous shit my grandfather made us do. He had us in the grain bin using a leaf blower to push fines off of the bottom of the bin.

LOOK FOR RECYCLED METAL IN THE BIN CONSTRUCTION..RECYCLED METALS SHOULD NEVER EXCEED 50% OF ITS WORKING LOAD CAPISITY. IT WILL FAIL...

I will like too know why they build concrete because western canada many build concrete this not first time this thing happen but why!

That was really quite fascinating….not at all something one ever gets to see documentation of. Thanks !

Phil Swift showed up with some of the flex seal tape sh** and made a couple wraps around the bin, fixed it like new. Don't believe me? He made a screen door into a boat with his spray crap.

So thats where that bolt went. Whoops

Cannot believe there is an employee smoking during this. Smoking and grain dust do not ever go together

Great video. That looks like dangerous work. I bet that your business has over $1,000,000 invested in equipment.

No audio? I bet that grain dust explosions are a challenge to clean up.

DID YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU ARE ALWAYS WRITING IN ALL CAPS IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE YELLING

COOL

Cool

Narrator was clear and to the point. A lot of whining about it for no reason.

Quit the damn fading and just change pictures. It us quite annoying.

Gotta have huge balls to drive a bucket loader into a giant flaming grain bin. Wow.

I would go with the jcb pothole master backhoe

Waste of time

ITS NOT STRAIGHT

Looks like it was cold when bin gave away. Some metals dont do well in sub zero temps, it is too brittle. Doesn't flex without breaking. Steels for subzero are softer. Any chance that was a factor?

spelling was not your forte in school..and i am guessing that you never took public speaking courses either...these and your other videos would have been interesting had you chosen a better narrator..but..it is your channel..and your videos so que sera sera...

Started watching some of these videos and this one has been the most boring one BY FAR; watching radioactive decay is more exciting Thanx from the left coast near the Krapitol of California

At 8:51ish I’ve found the ignition source the guy with the hose in hand and cigarette in mouth Thanx from the left coast near the Krapitol of California

Any lessons learned here, to prevent further collapses?

Its like a corn burning funace large enough to turn a giant warehouse into a sauna

Wow that’s tough 😧 thanks for sharing. I liked and subbed to your channel

what can you use the burnt grain for after you get it out

This the result of crap Chinese steel? Interesting how that subject came too light after a hole was punched in a US destroyer that should have not failed,were it not for weak Chinese steel

Boring !!!

Narration asked at end to contact with any questions...I have a lot of questions...How much did that salvage operation cost...is litigation ongoing? Cause determined? etc, etc. BTW, I'm amazed they were able to do this in such a short period of time....fortunately, it looked like they had good weather the whole time and didn't have any rain....impressive operation....

Looks like the rotary girder failed.

2:30 ish suction machine with 3 cyclone filter to keep dust to a minimum!!! Hahaha no dust coming from it but heaps of dust coming from the discharge auge😷😷😷😷😷

I remember in the 80’s watching a news clip of a helicopter directly above a similar grain bin that was suspecting a failure. The helicopter rotated as some guy on the ground was watching. Then right there the bin collapsed. The guy on the ground had to run for it and he barely escaped. I think the weight of the air pressure created by the helicopter made the grain bin collapse and the helicopter pilot was doing something really dangerous and foolish.

Cleanup in isle 5.

Very interesting

A cheaper alternative: cover the entire silo with plastic, hook up some massive air pumps, and suck out the majority of the oxygen over the course of a day or so...any ember will be extinguished. Solved for 1/10 the cost of this operation....you're welcome.

bet the insurance company is passing hot gasses as well

scary, if you have ever been around a dust explosion you would know

What was the price to clean it up most curious

I hope they did not sent the grain to the mills and later made bread from it.....?

I've just discovered a cure for insomnia,this guy's voice.

Excuse me but I have been watching cartoons for years… fire and corn… that means pop corn… what no butter and salt… LMAO. Reality check.

I wonder if it smells like burnt popcorn?

I'm Tom Bodette..and we'll leave the light on for ya

This isn't unusual at all. When you get a cold snap and the grain is warm because it is so dense it will keep pressure on the bin while the outer bin cools and shrinks causing shear forces that exceed the designed strength of the metal. Outcome is seem failure and once it starts it is like a tin can pushed open. I was physically at a location I cannot name and watched a 1M bushel corn tank when it go super cold split while the tank beside it remained intact. The failure cause is supposition but likely accurate given that the little research I have done doesn't show tank failure in warm weather....

Dude smoking a cigarette at 8:55. Smart.

Do you fireproof the hydraulic lines of your equipment?

This feels ripe for reality tv

You know you have big silo when you can drive a loader in it

Boring!!!
