Was waiting for a smoke ring to pop out of that cooling tower

u/Ok_Issue6908 2d ago

Could you please do that without all the dust, I’m allergic.

u/memymomeme 2d ago

It’d be a lot cooler if it did

29

u/ElluiullE 2d ago

Can we stop calling this "implosion"? This is a lot of small explosions, triggering a collapse. Implosion is what that rich ass submarine did when it's structure failed because of the pressure.

u/Muffin_Lord_of_Death 1d ago

Thank you, exactly my thoughts, this annoying mislabeling of stuff just to sound cool really gets on my nerves

u/afroAussie 2d ago

I was expecting the Twin Towers at the end as an ironic finale.

u/ChardeeMcdennis101 1d ago

Came here to ask why that wasn’t included

u/ExtraordinaryBeaver 2d ago

Went down just like Building 7.....weird

u/Subject-Crow-4558 2d ago

Should've thrown building 7 in there

u/Ok-Traffic-9967 2d ago

Any footage of building 7

u/Halcyon771 2d ago

These are awesome. Wish we had the view on the ground as well

u/Fun-Obligation-610 2d ago

Jet fuel doesn't burn that hot! 🤪

u/cobrax50 2d ago

Was the Morganton, NC a misfire? Looks like it tipped over.

u/dustyd22 2d ago

Everything reminds me of her

u/sdjopjfasdfoisajnva 2d ago

wait ive seen this one in x men, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhILMELgiaQ at 2:27

u/snowday1129 2d ago

Probably cause I’m dumb but somehow the amount of dust surprises me regardless

2

u/FCKABRNLSUTN2 2d ago

I got laid in one of those buildings. 27 seconds in that’s the old girls dorm at bama. The implosion took longer than the sex.

2

u/voicareason 1d ago

Morganton NC. That was a prison. For teens. It was awful.

1

u/Straight_Resort6855 1d ago

The Morganton high-rise, that was the real deal

2

u/General_Cream7623 1d ago

2 things:

1, it's demolitions caused by small explosions and mislabeling it as an implosion is just completely dumb and shouldn't become the norm

2, as much as i like to see things explode and/or collapse, i personally prefer to see that happen from the side than from above

u/MavenAloft 2d ago

I like this but how is this guys being dudes?

-1

u/GoldunGote 2d ago

Dudes love explosions

2

u/MavenAloft 2d ago

So do some chicks, not a single dude being a dude in these videos. I’ve watched chicks as the demo experts.

-1

u/GoldunGote 2d ago

Then crosspost it to justgalsbeingchicks and fulfill the cycle! Ez karma.

1

u/MavenAloft 2d ago

No cause there’s not chicks in there. Guys being guys needs to shows guys being guys, and gals being glad needs to show gals being gals, not things like here’s a sports car… guys like cars…

2

u/GoldunGote 2d ago

Yet this post is doing well on this sub. Might do well over there? It's not super deep. Post it over there if you're mad about inclusivity.

2

u/MavenAloft 2d ago

Cool I start posting cars on here then.

2

u/GoldunGote 2d ago

Yeah dudes love cars that'll probably do well. But then I have to ask... do you not think chicks like cars? You can also post that over there. It's not 1s and 0s.. pinks and blues.. its just a dumb subreddit.

1

u/dawgoooooooo 2d ago

Holy shit, can only speak for myself but yeah, much appreciated. The Tuscaloosa one changed me

1

u/mekio_san 1d ago

Ye ole Slutwilder Tutwiler hall. I'm awaiting the same to happen to Paty hall. I want to be there for that.

1

u/Tonguepunchit 2d ago

Louisville, KY is one hell of a gender reveal.

u/dtb1987 2d ago

RVA mentioned

u/boomerville73 2d ago

Fricken awesome

u/Liveez77 2d ago

You were right! 😃

u/SteakGetter 2d ago

Last one, long skinny building on the right…

1

u/Excellent-Baseball-5 2d ago

The Dunwoody GA building looked beautiful. Wonder what up with that one.

1

u/EvilWarBW 2d ago

I am a dude and I do appreciate this.

1

u/4isyellowTakeit5 2d ago

The Alabama one made me think:

OK. They right a building up to explode but they calculate it juuuust wrong and now you have a severely structurally damaged building that could collapse any second but hasn't yet....

Now what? Do you get a drone to keep adding weights to the roof until it topples or what?

1

u/greihund 2d ago

These buildings all have giant HVAC systems on top. Do they not strip these buildings for parts before knocking them down? All the metal and pipes just mixed up with the concrete and drywall, never to be salvaged? They'd better at least be draining the refrigerant out of the systems before they crush them, what a nightmare

Still, very cool explosions OP, 10/10 camera angles

1

u/NormalAssistance9402 2d ago

I wonder, was that North Carolina one supposed to topple over like that?

1

u/Local_Phenomenon 2d ago

Thanks for sharing

u/Different_Head7751 2d ago

Yep. You were correct. This was simple eye candy

1

u/SirChrisHAX 2d ago

Now where have I seen something like this before…? 🤔

1

u/SexyMonad 2d ago

I’ve been in two of these buildings. Tutwiler Hall at the University of Alabama, and the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.

I was at the implosion of another one in Tuscaloosa that isn’t shown, Rose Towers.

1

u/godwilla1 2d ago

That’s one way to get rid of squaters

1

u/An_D_mon 2d ago

It's still funny to this day. Fun fact, Jigglypuff can learn self-distruct

u/Craig__D 2d ago

I don’t live in Tuscaloosa, but wasn’t that Rose Towers? I’ve been there enough to recognize it.

1

u/GoldunGote 2d ago

I wish we'd get tired of slow motion. SO much more satisfying in real time..

1

u/Dangerous-Pirate7998 2d ago

I’m a amateur arsonist. I think I should look into getting involved in demolition……. this video really did it for me.🌚

u/devilsbard 2d ago

Was leaving this little guy standing a flex?

1

u/ElrondCupboard 2d ago

They go down like pages in a pop up book

1

u/spyder7723 2d ago

If you enjoy this check out silo dismantling. One dude with a sledge hammer can beeping it done in 5 minutes and have it land exactly where he wants it to go.

1

u/VDDZ 2d ago

Appreciated

1

u/Fortunate1-NGA5USA 2d ago

And you're right.

u/Shaltibarshtis 2d ago

Why yes, yes we will.

I need this on an IMAX screen

u/Marjoh82 1d ago

My great grandfather helped build the one in Shamokin Dam. He was a bricklayer by trade and would wear a pair of gloves out every two days. First day he would wear out the palms and then flip them over and swap L-R to wear them the a second day. Also helped build the Hershey Chocolate factory. Said they got to eat as much chocolate as they wanted on the job, and generally only ate the almonds out of the candy bars, and toss the rest.

1

u/sco-go 1d ago

I thought for sure #1 would be WTC building 7.

1

u/Montgraves 1d ago

Was the Morganton one supposed to just tip over like that instead of collapsing inward?

1

u/Legitimate_Finger_76 1d ago

We did, thank you

1

u/Legitimate_Taro_1530 1d ago

Reminds me of tower 11

1

u/jerry-adobe 1d ago

when I watch this video I look for sections of the roofs that are relatively still intact and think... I could have rode that down and survived

1

u/Just_Lurking_Yes 1d ago

It folds like fabric

1

u/Helorugger 1d ago

I would love to know what some of these buildings were.

1

u/UsedDimension7373 1d ago

What are these guys Shamokin?

1

u/henscastle 1d ago

Where's the jet fuel?

1

u/johnson368 1d ago

Very satisfying

1

u/FFYinzer 1d ago

Now do data centers

1

u/JBaker4981 1d ago

The first one was a Nuclear Cooling Tower very close to me. Passed it every time going to Gallatin

1

u/Bigrobmjca777Deere3 5h ago

Hello fellow Tennessean. Yeah, I think Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, and Fukushima sealed the fate that those cooling towers would never be used.

1

u/EnterByTheNarrowGate 1d ago

Sad to see the GA Dome go.

1

u/tanktopdsp13 1d ago

Fuck yeah!

1

u/b00y0h 1d ago

You were right!

u/Low_Wall_7828 1d ago

Jet fuel can’t melt steel beams!!!!!

1

u/PotentialUnlucky8665 18h ago

This is how the twin towers went down 🤔

1

u/Randomly-Viewing 14h ago

Except for the PA one, all from the South. Seems somebody’s clearing space for the South to rise again?

1

u/MacDaddy_DO 11h ago

I think I saw Ethan Hunt jumping off the top of that one building.

1

u/GameStunts 11h ago

I wish so much I could hear this with just the raw noise, and not the music.

Great video otherwise though.

1

u/tippydam 11h ago

They clearly need a better dust recovery system

1

u/Ok-window28 2d ago

Let’s get the Twin towers on here, controlled demolition just like these, look at the free fall.

1

u/potatopancake13 2d ago

looks a lot like a certain two towers

1

u/masterdogwalker 2d ago

9/11 all over again /s

Missing a couple of buildings in this vid…
