Chimney getting excited!
Good morning!
Arnold Palmer ain’t dead yet!
Remolition.
Ftfy
God damn it! How I hate stupid people who put 'before-and-after'-pics in the wrong order!
Fuck OP!
Praise Trex202!
Some languages read from right to left. Maybe the original image was from one of those places.
Damn, crazy how they had so many lined up like that and perfectly timed the demolitions for this shot.
That must have taken at least five full minutes of preparation!
No, don't be silly. It's a left to right timeline. They exploded that stack into existence. It's much quicker than building it brick by brick.
Smh my head, it's so obvious now!
Construction companies hate this one weird trick for quick jobs!
I own 22 buildings thanks to random piles of rubble and explosives!
No that's fine, just steal my joke why don't ya
It's significantly more interesting while backwards, but why?
I'm pretty sure it is actually the fastest chimney construction ever!
See?! It even forms a dust cloud around the workers because they work so fast!
German efficiency at its best.
Not to be a know it all, but I believe that there is a chimney remolition. It’s where they implode one together.
Wait. No. It is a demolition. We’re just looking at it from behind.
First i was like "Why are there so many chimneys in a row?"
Wow the whole tall thing just fell right down into its own footprint.
"Diddja laak tha'?"
Fred?
From the thumbnail I thought it was actually a row of chimneys gonna be dominoed over. Now I'm kinda disappointed...
