Cool video, and awesome slowness of toppling action. Good job.

/Hey, Eli (from the video) - a hint. STOP SHOVELLING FOOD INTO YOUR FAT FARKING FACE, YOU BLOATED BUTTERBALL BASTARD.

I would like to know how subby envisioned them using jackhammers to take down a smokestack.

Is there an equivalent of Godwinning a thread for when someone turns a completely unrelated thread into a fattie-bashing one?

Because it's hard to stop in the middle of dynamiting something and yell crude things at passing women?

If you look carefully you can see the thermite and black helicopters.

It would make a great ad for erectile dysfunction medication...

That was farking awesome.

Aaaaand... I'm spent.

Look at the video again. That's actually Ricki Lake hiding out in Minneapolis until she can find a way to resuscitate her career.

Really, she looks kind of cute there.

I would like to know how subby envisioned them using jackhammers to take down a smokestack.

Also how you would set 200lbs of explosives in 20 seconds.

That happens to me everytime I see a picture of Kelly Osbourne.

Link Farked within seconds?

/Could not access it through Opera or AOL.

Oldie but goodie.

ElPresidente: /Hey, Eli (from the video) - a hint. STOP SHOVELLING FOOD INTO YOUR FAT FARKING FACE, YOU BLOATED BUTTERBALL BASTARD.

I was thinking the same thing and yes, I also like making fun of fatties even at the risk of offending uppity Farkers...

Start from the top and work your way down. Like you'd demolish any high structure in an area where explosives may be a bad idea.

Know who isn't a fattie?

RON PAUL!

Hmmm... yes, the proper term for jumping into a thread to change it into something unrelated shall be called "Pauling" in remembrance of the many many threads on Fark and elsewhere that have fallen into control of the Ron Paul follower even though the original subject had nothing to do with Paul.

/Nice find smitty... demolition videos are always fun to watch
//More fun in person
///As long as you're not in the structure

That video would have been more amazing without the 11 year old commentary.

Gee, where did they find a fat Swedish kid in Minnesota??

Use the "Bulldoze" Tool.

Reminds me a a story of how you paint a 60 ft. flagpole.

Explosives?

Did you see that?
It fell slower than gravity!
I TOLD you 9/11 was an inside job!

Youd have to run the film backwards.

Wasn't that a scene from "Cannonball Run?"

Subby:
While I get your point, there's one small problem with your thinking.

There's two main ways to take down smoke stacks. Some type of wrecking ball or hydraulic hammer, or explosives.

But when you drill out the base of a smoke stack, odds are, you'll be using a jack leg. Which is... A jack hammer with an adjustable leg for drilling sideways.


xria: Also how you would set 200lbs of explosives in 20 seconds.

I'd imagine you'd just put a detonator inside a box of powder and then RUN. :0

(mainly tunnels, but we do demo here and there)

Somehow I could tell that was a fat kid just from his voice...Kinda sounds like Chunk from the goonies....
/Someone should make him do the truffle shuffle...

Dan-
How's the tunnel going in NY? Do you miss Phil?

Who am I?
How do I know things?

FTA"About two hundred pounds of emulsion explosives were used to demolish the stack, which took about 20 seconds to fall."

Emulsion explosives, where have I heard that before?


Oh, Shi-......

/Gears of war FTW

little fat kid is going to have a short life.

Answer him Gotdammit!

Well? WELLLLL? Gotdammit I need answers, you CANNOT leave me farking hanging like this. I NEED TO KNOW!

I saw some guys do that on TV with a cannon shooting bowling balls.
I think it was a grain silo.

great stuff.

Bring down a hotel or something. Smokestacks, not so fantastic.

You're living the dream, aren't you?.

/Architecture Student

The kid sounds just like Chunk on the Goonies...

"Do the truffle shuffle"
"DO IT!"

I bet if you push that kid over he falls just as slowly.

Blowing shiat up is so cool

They're cool with explosives in the Twin Cities. When I lived there they did a couple of building implosions live on the six o'clock news. One was an old hotel with a huge sign on top of it. It ended up a pile of rubble with the sign intact on top of it.

/Agrees

There is no problem in the realm of human experience that cannot be solved by suitable application of high explosives.

There's a third way.

The Fred Dibnah (new window) way.

Requires some Yorkshiremen, some flat caps, some hammers, some chisels, some wood and some fire.
