How To: Demolish An Old Silo With A Sledgehammer

January 8, 2013 / dammit darwin, death and destruction, demolition, destroying things, let me get a couple whacks in there, mother nature, nearly killing yourself, next time maybe stand inside the thing while you're hitting it, oh man i loooooove hitting thing with a sledgehammer, really good ideas, smart thinking, so close, you dummy

Note: They drop a couple f-bombs in the video, I'm gonna have to recommend watching it at full volume while giving your boss the finger.

Seen here just moments before he should have died, some good ol' boy knocks down an old grain silo with a sledgehammer. Unfortunately for us, as soon as the silo starts to crumble the camera man panics and starts filming the ground. Thanks a lot, jerk!

Hit the jump for Mother Nature failing to do her duty.

Thanks to lucci, who agrees Mother Nature must have been off banging Father Time or something because there is no reason for that guy to still be alive right now.

    Another Day, Another Washer Tearing Itself To Pieces
    April 22, 2013
    This is a video of Redditor Aussie50 tossing some piece of heavy machinery into a front-load washer and watching it shake itself to pieces on the spin cycle. It will never top the anthropomorphic dryer eating a brick video, although this one is pretty action-packed. It's a sh... / Continue →
  • So Close: 'Photographer' Almost Eaten By Crocodile
    March 25, 2013
    This is a video of some 'photographer' in Costa Rica almost getting attacked by a crocodile. I put photographer in quotes because he's really just a jackass with a camera and a backful of tattoos I thought was a camo shirt at first. He squats by the water's edge taking pictur... / Continue →

    Not to brag or anything but I'm cleverly packaged too if you know what I mean. I mean my wiener can solve word problems all by itself. Got me through middle-school, just sayin'! The "Miswak," a teeth cleaning twig used throughout the Muslim world in lieu of modern toothbrush... / Continue →

    lol @ the ignorant morons who think they would stand still and keep a camera level as a massive silo comes crashing down feet in front of them.

  • Alex Mason from Red Faction would have done it much better.

  • Red Faction: Guerilla ?

    That dude is a lethal mix of balls and stupidity

  • Cameron Watt

    Google Fred Dibnah chimney fall. He'd drop chimneys by undercutting and putting cribbing in place as he worked his way around. When he had a big enough undercut, he would light the cribbing on fire and retreat to a safe distance.

    I read that as 'uppercutting'. That would be a sight to see!

    I seriously thought I saw someone die just then. I am really glad that was not the case. Awesome video.

  • Rynomaniac

    I've played this game. It's called Demolition Company.

    Need the level 2 sledge hammer to knock down a silo, though.

  • NoveltyFishHead

    I do wonder how funny Death's WTF look may have been.

  • cabbo

    Probably just terrifying and shame-inducing.

  • GizmoDuck

    *golf clap*

  • ODwanKenObi

    What a bunch of idiots.

  • Guest

    Irish that I would have read that they failed to film it before watching that.

  • cabbo

    You slabbrin'?

  • Cant fake those moves guys

  • This looks fake. The dude should have died because of the way that the silo looked like it was starting to fall and then of course the camera gets all Blair Witch.

  • I dunno. In the split second before the camera turns toward the ground, it looks like its falling away from him.

  • Fatmonay

    Bad video, he gets parkinson's on the footage we want to see :\

  • Oh canada

    Gotta love Canadians eh?
