Bring down a silo in Fairhaven IL.

[@mikebartol2543]

Wow!!! So many things could go wrong

[@mbrackeva]

Guy should watch some Fred Dibnah videos.

[@Brucepatten]

Looks like fun

[@shakey2634]

Ive seen a bunch of these videos. How do they clean up the mess? Try and stack the staves for reuse or scoop it with cat and dump it somewhere on the property?

[@pennypeewee7093]

some recycle .

[@garyskowbo3564]

What I would like to know is why does everyone think that they have to destroy all of the these silos?

[@pennypeewee7093]

Thats a very good question.

[@mojavegold-]

Most of them are quite old - some over 100 years old - and starting to fall apart. Most dairy farms and feedlots have switched over to flat storage of silage, which is more efficient.

[@daleolson3506]

Not used anymore and are in the way

[@craigcooknf]

Older technology, more expensive to maintain, and inconvenient when they spontaneously fall on someone or some thing. Like a chimney on a house, the silo will rot and become unstable when no longer in use.

[@waynebennett8065]

Why start the hole up so high

[@willytheriot8439]

Right where he was standing

[@guapo7197]

The camera man had balls or was dumb enough to stick around. A+ camera duty

[@guapo7197]

Probably the later

[@pennypeewee7093]

enjoy and like.

[@1900intz]

Great job!

[@pennypeewee7093]

Thanks!

[@johnizitchiforalongtime]

That was a quicky.

[@christopherort2889]

Cool video

[@gredw6733]

Jesus......that looks like a dangerous job. What do they charge for that?

[@jeffwiebenga393]

Whatever they charge it better be cheap , there all millionaires and nobody is gettin any of it,

[@craigcooknf]

Probably nothing. Most farmers do what they can, themselves. Just the way things are done.

[@mikego18753]

Code brown!

[@Prehistoric_ilfe]

Imagine if you didn’t see it falling on you and you just get squished I just don’t like that

[@realamerican1555]

Has anyone ever been killed doing this 😢
