Have the feed up on another screen.

You're right, Brian, that taking down this sort of structure has seldom gone 'as planned.' The Fisher silos in Tacoma kept refusing to go down - started to look like it would take a nuc strike to take 'em out.

Be interesting to see if these co-operate.

 

Haha, i saw video of that... all those tries and it just would not come down at all!

There were videos on google and yahoo that I watched that simply refused to come down... CDI is the only company i know that has successfully brought silos down.. of course there isn't anything left after those since they overpack them ;)

 

Ooh.. some activity..

Firehoses have been brought out and putting water on the ground and on the silo.

 

like we didnt have enough rain to keep the dust down lately??? lol
watching the feed now... static for audio..... and water going into a bulding thats next to the towers...at least thats how it looks....

i kinda know that area... bad angle tho.. cant get a good fix on where things are in relationship to the towers...

 

Same, i know the area but I can't place for the life of me where the camera is at?

 

c'mon, blow it up already, geesh
They keep up the watering and its going to start growing, or sink into the ground from the weight of the silos and the saturated ground, lol.

 

tick tick tick tick....waiting....

 

and the feed goes dead....

and now it's back....

 

Two concrete towers that were part of the Georgia-Pacific pulp mill in Bellingham are being blasted down this afternoon. The scheduled time has been delayed, but the demolition should happen soon.

 

I am beginning to think that the video feed is looped, see the same birds fly by screen at same times, quick, drive up and see if it has happened yet, lol.

 

TIMBER!!!!

 

and just like that, its gone

 

Heheheheh... Yup.

 

and down they go! Short, quick... they all came down

Later on this summer the rest of GP will be imploded.

 

welp, thats my excitement for the day, lol

 

haha how funny, all those posts within a minute of each other hahaha
