SILO DEMOLITION old school style
Either this guys haz BIG KAHOONAS ...or NO BRAINS...I'm thinking the latter.
BTW...there's a few four letter adjectives, nouns and prepositions

I would vote; "NO BRAINS". The guy with the sledge is very lucky to be alive!
I've only seen a silo taken down once, so I'm no expert. After weakening the structure, they used long ropes and a tractor to pull it down from a distance. It was just as exciting, but no one's life was put at risk.

Being a carpenter I do love it when I get to pick up a sledge and start dismantling things, there is just something so satisfying about deconstruction. That however, takes the fun a little bit too far I must say. My vote goes to the no brains theory.

By the looks of his sweater he was probably an arborist, and we all know how those fellows are............

Welcome back Tree, you arrived just in time!
I can read enough of the shirt to confirm through Google that this fellow is wearing a shirt from McLellan Tree Service in Farmington, Ct. Not saying he works there or anything, but he's certainly out spreading the word!
I was gonna guess Fargo, North Dakota by the one fellows accent
Being hollow, that thing sure didn't fall like a tree like I was expecting!

That makes my pushing big rocks off and down mountains look pretty lame. Wow that was insane!
