Oh that one brought back a tragic memory. As I have watched all many of the previous videos, I have thought to myself how lucky many of these workers have been.

I am retired teacher from what used to be small farming community. Had twin boys in the 7th grade back in the 80's. They were playing around an abandoned old barn and brick silo. The bricks were pretty loose from the poor quality mortar. One was apparently "tunneling" through the side of the silo, the other exploring someplace else in the barn, when the worst happened. The whole thing did not come down, but it was fatal anyway.

Be careful out there.

It's unfortunately a regular occurance with kids exploring. For adults it's plain stupidity in my opinion as limited as it is.
