One thing I know for sure is that I will never get tired of watching these videos. They are just so satisfying to watch.
Who ever that drone pilot is, she or he deserves a bonus. That shot following the wind turbine as it fell was amazing.
All the different camera angles over the years has been amazing, but using a drone has added a whole new dimension.
Such awesome cinematography on these videos...makes a complex and destructive process a thing of beauty.
Watching the second one hit the ground blade tip first was glorious ! I wonder how many wind turbines are abandoned by failed companies and the local government has to decommission them ?
The drone footage was AWESOME guys!!!
The drone footage is awesome!
I don't know how tall this turbine was but there is an application to install 69 of them near our home here in Australia. They will be 7MW, each one standing at 280m high and 200m wide (918 feet high and 656 feet wide) and they will be built in our beautiful rural valley a few kilometres from our our historic town from the Gold Rush era. Our region is wine, grazing and cropping country are we are blessed with just about every iconic native wildlife including endangered birds and bats. For some reason our region was selected as a Renewable Energy Zone. They are halfway through the planning stages and they are up to 800 wind turbines so far. These will be included in dozens of projects along with industrial solar. We will have hundreds of square kilometres of renewables just in our region alone. It's devastating.
How deep did #2's blade go into the ground? Well done, the drone/editing guys did great too
I just asked the same thing LOL
Looked to me like it might have gone a foot or 2 then shattered and collapsed. I would be interested in how far too !
@@wdwerker Given how huge those blades are, I’d guess it buried down to whatever hardpan layer in under the topsoil. Farmer’s going to be picking fibreglass bits put of his field for years!
Part of me was hoping the 2nd turbine would just stick into the ground and stay like that, like a big knife 🤣🤣
Great Work as Always!!!
Excellent work CDI
Boom ! Yes ! 💙😎
Another perfect job by CDI.
So satisfying👏👏👏
Nice job as usual!
Wonderful video shots as always.
I really don't like adding a music overlay, especially during the actual demolition. It takes away from the stark impact of the demolition.
Great video.
I wonder how old they were?
Anyway, good show CDI!
🤠👍
The drone view @1.21 is excellent.
Green economy, yeah
The future of the new green deal on display.
Many decades of work for CDI at the rate we are going.
I'm curious how deep of a hole that prop made, or if it disintegrated as it hit the ground, or a little of both.
I’d guess it penetrated the topsoil until it hit the hardpan, then folded itself up under the topsoil. Poor farmer is going to,be picking pieces of blade out of his field for years!
CDI makes great videos they are satisfying
Dam nice....
The Drone video and the “nat” sound is great.
You all will be winning Emmys soon!
Keep up the great production.
The demolition was cool too..
Love the sound of what sounded like cables snapping in the tower.
If a structure of that size was being demolished that close to my residence, I'd sure hope CDI was doing it.
Beautifully done video and music.
Fantastic drone shots of demolition from above. This is really original. Congratulations 🏆🏆👏🏻
Super Aufnahmen . Sehr interessant .
Great drone work!
👍👍👍👊👊
Love to see the mechanical carnage close up. :)
Thanks for watching!
Wow, this has to be one of your most artistic videos! Fantastic drone perspective.
So green, so great for the environment!!! Good to see two more eyesores gone.
That was great, fantastic drone footage 👏
The drone shots are really awesome!
Maybe get a cheap drone and have it inside a building during a demolition, so even if it's crushed you can get the live video out.
Excellent drone footage - job well done. :)
Love the drone footage. .... on a separate issue... what was wrong with those turbines...?
Guessing: either there was a major component failure that wasn’t economically feasible to repair, given the size of cranes needed to reach the nacelle, or the unit was at the end of it’s service life. CDI itself likely doesn’t even know, they are just the subcontractors with the 💥💥💥💥
lifetime is very limited and prone to failure due to thunderstrikes.
The slomos are just wonderflul!
I am so happy you have solutions for these monstruosities.
The hide wires went snap and down came another wind turbine
You have a cookie facility in New Jersey yall are tearing down. I love your explosive content
Can I say perfect, or can I say perfect!
Nice work. Did you utilise the same method as Hunterston in Scotland?
Fred Dibnah would have just climbed up the outside and taken them down piece by piece! (Search for him on U Tube if you don’t recognize the name)!
It must be fun waking up everyday saying, what am I gonna destroy today?
Looked as if the tips of the blade were damaged. Maybe a bird strike? Or perhaps a well placed shot??
Only thing it remind me is call of duty black ops 2 , one of my favorite map was turbine ( there was like crashed wind turbine in the middle of a desertion area ) so much memories...
Amazing audio! Nice drone work too! Appreciate that you post regularly, because these are truly unmatched! 😎✌️
Glad to find this channel.
Question: why do they demolish instead of repair?
ive always been fascinated by wind turbines, but fully support nuclear (the current age nuclear) as the power source...can generate far more, rods can be reused in homes and are much safer
Clean and green, hey? I hope you are cleaning up all the shattered micro plastics from that venture.
It's part of the package.
💥🤯💥
Thanks for watching!
Whoa
I bet the locals are happy that these two eyesores are gone.😅
Seeing the generator break into pieces and need a major cleanup makes me think having a helicopter taking the generator off in one piece would've been less messy.
But think of the EMISSIONS FLYING AIRCRAFT PRODUCE!
LOL...
May the rest in pieces!
Brilliant. I especially enjoy what drones have done for your imagery. Out of curiosity, do you use the drone for reconnaissance of structures as part of your meticulous preparation?
1:13 10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Fire in the hole!
1:22 💥
1:26 TIIIIIIMMMBEEEEEEEEERRR!!!
Please...Pictures of the inside of the nacelles. I want to see the windshaft bearings, transmissions, and alternators after the impact!
I see you wasn't trying to save anything from this one. A longer video showing how you set up from the item going down to the dirt build up to lessen the load on the item
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
"I'm in the red"
Why are they tearing them down? Not making free electricity any more?
Maintenance runs into the millions each year.
Nice! Were these at the end of their service life?
Seems like a legal dispute between the school district and the contractor caused this
Great video, your drone operator is getting really good. Why did the wind turbines need to come down?
where they belong.
Are they just obsolete?
Sound at 1:32-33 must be guy wires snapping?
Great demolition of course, but just wondering why the need to take down a modern-day wind turbine?... seems like such a waste
Why did CDI use sad music
Relieving to see them fall. Lots of work still to do here in Germany to get rid of these relicts of failed energy politics.
Are people in Germany waking up to the fact that renewables are not fit for purpose?
Those look like Nordic machines, not Nordex
Did they both fail? Are they installing bigger ones? I don't get it, they couldn't possibly have paid for themselves for the amount of power they produced vs. their presumed lifespan?
They are only good for around 20 years. Then they need to be replaced. They do not make $. As Warren Buffett said he only invests in them because of the government subsidies. With out that they lose $.
Wind Turbines never pay for themselves no matter how long they operate. If they were not heavily subsidized with your tax dollars they would never make it off the engineering drawing!!!
I don't know why but I feel sad :(
Yeah, me too. They shouldn't have been there in the first place.
More landfill garbage, yep! green energy. Now they should put the ground back to farmland and grow food, that would be greener.
You think this is bad, you should see how much of a coal plant actually ends up as landfill. And the millions of tons of toxic coal ash that is just sitting in on site unlined landfills too. All of it completely useless, just sitting there.
But but but niiitrogen emissions.
Farming is lowly work. Everyone should focus on important work, like lawyers and real estate agents.
@@stellamcwick8455 You really need to research the cradle to grave story of wind, solar and backup batteries. There is massive amounts of toxic waste every step of the way! We are mining more raw materials as a direct result of the push for renewables than at any time in man's history, particularly coal. But many of the other materials result in far worse toxic waste than coal. Manufacturing too, particularly silicon ingots for crystalline silicon solar panels leave vast amounts of toxic waste. End of life is yet to be resolved in regard to this infrastructure. Renewables have made environmental damage and human degradation far worse than any other form of energy production in the history of mankind.
No salvage value. Just scrap.
RAFIQUE MASTOI DG Khan Pakistan 🏝🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
First lol
These things are a waste.
What a waste - it sounds like a legal dispute caused these turbines to meet this fate.
