I had never stayed in a high rise flat before and learned that the building was made to bend or it would just crack and collapse, what a scary experience that was 😮
Very interesting video. Ferrybridge power station in Yorkshire was a very iconic place. There are two more power stations in roughly the same area; Drax and Eggborough. I loved them when I lived in Yorkshire. 😊
Perhaps the power stations should have stayed, in light of your current struggles? That being said, I am far away in Cali so I have no clue about the situation.

Yep building 1 fell in its own footprint so did building 2 then add building 3 that had not suffered any damage also falling in its own footprint, sad but its not the first time the American government has pulled off such things. May those that lost their lives on that day rest in peace. Am not American but what I saw was controlled demolition probably military grade thermite , wont say what that explosive was but HE versions of it exist, 2 many anomalies about that scenario exist and add into that the light plane that crashed into the Pentagon, strange no wreckage was found at hat event also strange how no forensic investigation was done at the WTC site and all the rubble was conveniently shipped out without analysis, by the way most of it was shipped to China as scrap steel but I digress, I find it bizarre that suddenly passports where found from the alleged hijackers at ground zero, explain that one to me, yeah one jet motor was recovered I see red flag ops all over the whole event.

I remember seeing the the Contenental National Bank building in Fort Worth go down. I was about 2 miles away. I knew it was going to be imploded and I was showing a friend where it was. They had announced a time for the demolition about an hour later than when they actually did it. We stepped outside so I could point out which building it was, and just as I pointed, the building fell straight down. Then I heard the sound of the explosives, followed by a giant cloud of dust. Had I waited for the official time I would have missed it. It was the first building in Fort Worth that I ever saw. I was 6 years old and we were driving west on the old turnpike (now I-30), and I saw the clock which showed the time and temp. For years it was the tallest building in Fort Worth, and you could see the clock from almost anywhere in town.
One of the things that I would have done different in my life if I had the chance to do it over is, I would have become a demolition engineer. i love watching things implode!
3:41 since those buildings were square when they fell over, they still had the same height as they did when they were originally standing so we accomplished nothing but a very cool video.
If the towers hadn't been hit by planes and building 7 hadn't been partially collapsed to begin with, they probably would've been. My Dad worked in that building and lost a lot of his coworkers that day...and I nearly lost him myself. I'm glad the WTC wasn't included.

The first 23 seconds is the short version. No need to watch further if you're in a hurry. And the physics is badly explained around 24:40, the "higher end" does not move faster, in fact you can see it is actually lagging behind the rotation of the bottom part. If the chimney could have stayed together, the "higher end" would HAVE to move faster, but it can't so the taller items break instead.
@@davew7250 Exactly this. Cord is selected for burn rate and attempts are made for precise timings so that structural sections are weakened first, before directional ones are fired. You really don't want to mess up, as the competition is very fierce, and standing landmarks after what should have brought it all down can make getting another contract rather challenging.
