Chimney demolition gone terribly wrong in Ohio.

Looks like it worked to me.

Looks like it worked to me.

There were only four blasts, so I suspect that the larger chimney wasn't meant to drop - at least not with the four thinner ones. It dropped within its own footprint, which is uncommon with chimneys, so they should be pleased with that at least.

Found a blurb:

“Occurred on November 4, 2022 / Manchester, Ohio, USA We had contracted a demolition company to set off explosives on a controlled demolition. The contract was only to control blast 4 towers but as the 4th tower started to fall it switched directions and took out the scrub tower”

My screen had the video and right underneath was the Homemade Tools 20% off coupon. Guess the demo crew couldn't pass up the deal.

I'm betting that someone standing nearby said, "Ohh Dear".

Quick, fetch me that contract and make sure there is no penalty clause for taking out the 5th chimney
