The demolition of Redcar Blast Furnace

[@richarddutchholland4780]

Me and a mate came up to Redcar from Port Talbot steel works in the early 2000’s to do some work. Have to say we met some brilliant people there

Great footage well done 👍 liked and subscribed 👍

[@sird2333]

Wow. I’m sure it was like hell working there, but still saddens me to see stuff like this destroyed.

[@212MPH]

A CRIMINAL ACT.. WHO EVER AUTHORISED THIS SHOULD BE ROTTING IN PRISON.

[@stillightdrones]

Nicely done, glad you managed to catch the blowdown.

[@sbfpv3606]

[@212MPH]

Very sad sight. All those skilled men out of work and a perfectly reusable blast furnace gone for ever. I just don't get it.

[@ashleighwatson8635]

its because of the totally corrupt teesworks and ben houchen...total destruction and wiping clean of teessides past. shameful

[@ashleighwatson8635]

bearing in mind that land is so toxic that nothing can be built on it for at least 25 years...the Lord the lone knows what they will do with it!

@@212MPH absolutely..and they have the cheek to say of course we believe in bringing new jobs..cross our hearts and hope to die..we believe in these things .but we do not like the old way of working..just hand it all over to us...we will do more of them...we will do them better and the most important part is doing them will not cost anybody anything!
