That looks like a job for Fred Dibnah, he could do that man alone with some timber and a box of matches, AH the good old days before public and work place safety!
I saw this video......and thought why all the cranes and cherry pickers..... Fred would of done that, half the price more safely...and in half the time. Well done H&S.... What a bubble wrap place we work in now. Paper work safes lives now In Fred's days paper work set fire to bloody chimney.
All Fred Dibnah needed was to turn up in his trusty 25 year old Land Rover, jump out with his mate and knocks some holes in the bottom and put some props in and set fire to it all…All that would have been done with a few pints of beer in his system and a cheese sandwich and his flat cap for head protection!
Should run a competition - How many hits with Fred’s lump hammer did it take to knock the bricks out of the chimney to take it right down? Must e an arm wrestling champion now! Seriously though good to see it safely taken down, not a cheap exercise either!
Guess we'll just ruin this video footage by dubbing in some truly irritating, obnoxious, and distracting background crappy-ass "music". Well done mates!
Very poor editing, clips too damn short. By the time ur eye’s focus on location on clip it has changed to next clip. Plus reading texts, when done, clip changes. He does have great videos shots.
Poofs I tell thee, Fred Dibnah would've been up that on a set of wooden ladders and had it down in a week. I bet some bloke in a suit with a hard hat, hi viz and a BMW probably took the credit for the work on that.
It could have fallen over without help in a high wind: I've never seen such a slender chimney skin! Only two bricks thick at the top and only four or five at the base!!!
It's a shame that this old chimney had to be torn down, but it is in disgraceful shape. Was it subject to earthquakes or just very badly constructed? The type of brick seems like the type to crack easily, as shown at the crown.
@@Clowningabout001 True, but there are many things older than this in my country that are holding up. There's a. Church in my town that is 1000 years old, for example as well as various buildings 500 and less. My town isn't anything special either.
@@rustledjammies8769 😂 yeah buddy trust me all buildings need maintenance. If you abandoned even a modern house it would look shabby pretty quickly. All those old buildings in your town have been regularly looked after and maintained by someone, as nature will quickly reclaim anything man has abandoned.

In Fred's days paper work set fire to bloody chimney.
Agreed!! He did this all the time with no tech. Amazing man. God bless him.
and still being talked about all these years later 😎@@crimsonpirate1710
Definitely a job for Fred, just him no machinery required. RIP Fred.
He'd likely be disappointed at how badly maintained this was, though. Most of the ones he was toppling could have lasted another hundred years in use.
I’m sure Fred would approve
THis music really helped me with my constipation.

The good old days.
its lacking a tire fire and a claxon

Not a patch on any of the Fred Dibnah videos

Had to turn that shit off.

Did you like that!!! Good old Fred will be looking down giving his seal of approval. I bet a few bricks moved without touching them!

Bro you probably never swung a hammer in your life talking like you and Fred hung out or something...
The chimney had no vortex shedding bands (at least until the 60's) and the stresses on the brickwork joints are evident
Industrial!Omg. gorgeous drone~ see ya~ 🤘
Surely these bricks can be reused elsewhere?
Привет коллеги, отличная работа

Bloody L. Survived a good while
Dreadful isn't it? Should never have been signed off in the first place.
I was expecting something different. Maybe some dynamite with the drone following the fall.
Well by god they didn’t just blow it, I’m sure Fred would approve
Lose that awful music
Kinda looks like the old power plant just outside Kingwood, wv
I wouldn't ask Fred to take that pos down.
Something about fred
Fred would do that by himself with 20 cigs and a couple of pints daily mind.😊
Fred Would've done that on his own
There just probably just aint to many Fred Dibnah's in this world to hammer it down in 2 months.
plenty of random extraneous apostrophes, however
In a few years time nobody will remember Fred in his hey day. He will be a figure on a film. That will be very sad!
That racket that starts at the beginning of your video ruined watching this video at all. I clicked OFF your video after 10 seconds......
What a bunch of whiners in the comments. Great job lads, well done

Over 100 years old I recon you'd be showing signs of wear and tear, nothing lasts forever !

Not to diminish the drone, but the severe damage could be seen from the ground.
No booom, boring
Why the juvenile "music"?
