I really like when you do this kind of stuff. I don’t think people understand all the effort that goes into something like this. It’s because the end product looks so great. You do a great job and have some really good friends that help you out. Keep up the good work really enjoyed this video.

The real MVP of this video is that bird who was just chillin' above the bridge right at the blast and appears to have ninja's its way out of a debris collision like a boss.

Wow man. Love these action shots. And your voice-over was flawless, as always. And what a sweet local-news reporter you interviewed there The only thing I didn't like about this video, is that it was only 16 mins. Could listen and watch for hours at these kinda Ken-Vids. AWSOME Ken!! A W S O M E ! ! ! !

Those demos are no joke. When you think you're far enough, double it. There has been shrapnel found a couple of miles away (depending on the amount of explosives and power of them) from the demolition site. No damage was done because they cleared a 5 mile radius. (In my example). I understand how upset you were having to move but I saw you immediately change your attitude seconds after the explosion! HAHA I was telling myself "Watch, he's gonna be happy they made him move.) Also, as you mentioned, eardrum damage is also an issue. I'm not sure if its because of the high decibels or the concussive force from the explosion, so if someone could clarify that for me, would be appreciated!! Great footage as usual, Ken!!

This is what makes Ken such a joy to follow. Most postings included the cleaned-up footage ... as if everything was "as planned." In reality, it rarely goes exactly as planned and often involves winging it at the very last minute. Bravo to the hard work it takes, and Thank You for sharing all of it with us.

Ken this is a great video--although you guys had a few problems, hopefully people in the community will learn (like me!). This is a great example of the power of the flying camera and how more places and company can use UAVs to not only document their work, but showcase it--and promote it. Thanks for putting this one up--this is a model for all.

I've done a LOT of demo photography for a construction company at Kennedy Airport and Laguardia and NYC. I feel 100% for you. One safety guy can change the rules on you and all that work is sunk. I always work with the OWNER of the demo company so there are no last minute "safety officers". The OWNER WANTS me to get the shots(video) so he can use it. So the owner looks out for me. But as usual whaat makes your work so damn good is your point of view and personality and fun.

Actually, the boat is a towboat. Not a "barge" (that's what the towboat pushes), not a pusher boat. But don't feel bad about it, everybody except the people who work out there usually get it wrong. 🙂

I havent done a bridge blast but i have done plenty of rock blasting & other blasts. Im a heavy equipment operator/Fpv guy. So any time we blast im usually the guy that is the closest. But im always behind a blast sheild. So if you can use something as a shield then your good. Being that i am always the operator i always get chances that alot of ppl dont. Its all in who you know though & how well uou plan situations like that. Good luck on the next one

Nice from the people of CDI to give you this amazing opportunity. They do amazing controlled demolition work and I think it's fantastic that they gave you permission to do this! They also have to think about safety which makes it more difficult for people who want to video this. But safety first.

Hi Ken! Sorry to see all the miscommunication that screwed up your chances of lots of cool video. You did "get some" though. Wasn't there any way to start the camera filming and leave the tripod? I mean, your Go Pro was right on the bridge. That way you could move away and satisfy the boat police.

It's called a pusher bridge because it pushes the barges. Instead of pulling a barge like a tug boat does. Nothing to do with where they operate.

I would usually say, well, even at a bridge blowing event, the tree's gotta be trees (d!@ks) but he ditched on purpose so it's more an assault and battery against a tree victim. Tree was like, "Man I was all set to watch this bridge that's been trolling us for years get blown the f' up, when this drone hit me!! Man, FPVs are d!@ks!!" Look for the new merch to hit soon. :) great footage, and funny video. Nice little Segway into the sponsor, but I'd also have told him he can start for free with the TRUST test, and then go for the Part 107.

Mr. KEN. I NEED YOUR HELP... Times are changing in our beloved Nashville TN. 10 years ago I could not find a location in Nashville to fly for the life of me. It seems like Nashville has gotten much more relaxed on rc aircraft. As a man of your experience, I think you may be able to tell us local viewers what's okay and what's not okay in Nashville. Parks? Downtown? Please help us local flyers. Also, thank you so much for your videos. You walk the line and I think know better than anyone what we can do and where we can do it. Thank you Ken!!!

@@KenHeron Chronos? Isn't there a web-based trigger for those? And a wired version? With my ENG/Sports cap on,.. that's not really a 'big' camera and tripod ;) I recall one used for high speed shots for sports, ENG style body with cut-outs to coolong and a bunch of ram slots on the outside, feeding four parrallel HD-SDI inputs to a modified EVS recorder, the tripod head alone massed more then my Cine camera. Thankfully things have changed this past decade :)
