    This has all the earmarks of a controlled collapse of the tower. Around here, nearly all of the pyramid type towers are being replaced with column type. With potentially millions of old towers coming down nationwide, there had to be a lot of trials out in the boonies on bringing them down quickly. Looks like that was discovered for this type.

    Well something is not right with the video. I watched it frame by frame. Frame #'s 1-28 are identical except for some odd movements, perhaps the camera, or poor positioning of the frames in a fake video. Frame # 29 then shows the joints have "jumped" apart a significant distance. Frame #'29-54 are again identical except for either camera movement or sloppy video editing. Finally at frame # 55 the tower begins to fall, accelerating as it goes travels downward.

    It is very possible the real frames 1-28 and 30-54 were removed, and replaced with copies of frames 28 and 29.

    I am not sure the motive for doing this but, some people have too much time on their hands. Maybe I am one of them for even taking the time to do this..

    It is possible that someone could have edited it with a program like Handbrake to reduce the file size for posting on social media.
