water tower bomb

[Endevour1995]

good shockwave

[CopyCats00Official]

another reason nasa sucks

[avrovulcan617]

typical yanks...pure overkill.

[lilvietjr901]

broke my glass of wine >.>

[McdonaldSpecial]

fucking idiots. Surprised they've never heard of shrapnel. That glass coulda been his face.

[FloridaSeverWeather]

@McdonaldSpecial it wasn't even shrapnel from the explosives, it was the sheer pressure of the shockwave that shattered the glass.

[bikingforbrie]

That was my tax money you blew up assholes; buy a pair of metal cables next time.

[1crazyfocker]

that was cool. a great example of why the pro's takes so long to prep for a controlled demo. where this was a simple case of engineers doing what they do best. blowing stuff up, they dont have to worry about other buildings, ppl, or any of the others stuff the pro demo companies have too. besides this was a safer way of doing it and cheaper. it was not to much, it just all went off at the same time..lol

great video

[saddest]

@DickKnowsBest

me too ! the reason is the small preview, right? :)

[RFS97322]

Did you use enough dynamite there, Butch?

[oldfart387]

Was surprised it stood at all.

[RetSquid]

This controlled demolition looks exactly like the Twin Towers.

/sarc-off

[budy1314]

test Bomb? take the water tower down? or take the water tower down with bomb? that's stupid. they are nothing better to do

[Mr3wheeledbike]

I get so much joy the sight and the fowling tower even the shock wave. What bliss

[1BlackFox20]

What was the point of this? Did the water tower offend them?

[jabadog12]

@1BlackFox20 I was there for that one, we blew it up because the Talbian was using it as an aiming point for rocket attacks on the airfield

[xtremha]

sorry but i dont got a water tower at my home

[TheHanfiHanf]

don´t try this with home^^

[AZtwoNE]

Note.. four pounds of c4 may be a bit.. excessive

[OnnomonnomonnO]

LOOOL :D:D more destroyed windows than towers left by that demolition company

[134275869]

massive shock wave destroys 4 windows

[StarCraftCrazy]

i love how the laws of physics dictates that the some has to be later den the event itself

[DOCTOROCTAGONAPUSS]

When in doubt, explosives.

"Hey man, what should we do about this tower"

"...i have an idea....."

[nathanixslade]

Kids with guns 

[danksmoker1100]

THE MARINES.......OHHHH YAAAAAA!.

[mrepicman77]

DUDE NICE SHOCKWAVE :D

[MindPaniC]

gañanes

[phubans]

I like how the shockwave broke the sound barrier.

[timotoki30]

hahahaa fire in ma hole BAAAAM!! (glass breaks everywhere) hahaah that was sweet :]

[SuPaFlY171989]

tax dollars went to this? Worth it. :D

[theantiquegarage]

Wow, NASA really had their budget cut.

[MrMittendorf]

Dude, if you're going to film something, film it.

[drconnole]

It was Obama's fault

[stepembino]

[conradcicero]

[KAiiSER321]

It made a bloody mushroom-cloud!!!

[R3MUS2007]

[Maxables]

Haha. I thought, "Well, that was overkill" until I saw the military uniforms

[EscapistGaming]

@Maxables lol, me too

[kulste11]

[kulste11]

@xivid1234 hell yea lol

[MrUranus100]

i herd faling gass

[nydamc69]

ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE MILITARY EXERCISING 2 MUCH POWER

[Enterfy]

Nice shockwave broke your glass windows.

[dadnapt24]

mini nucular bomb

[SittingMooseShaman]

... an old rat-tower out in the middle of a sparsely populated area is the formula for a fuggin' fun time- as area involvement becomes the least concern and how much explosives one uses is determined soley by how much money one wishes to splurge on a good show...

[1996TheRocketman]

Holy **** that was BEAST i like when things go boom/ except 9/11 not good but this was good nice.

[skeebert]

@1996TheRocketman Fuck you, 9/11 was sweet, dickweed.

[TheBanaphsh]

military assholes 

[J4M3SPR]

@TheBanaphsh haha you're paying for em

[InsanoCouch]

I saw tower and bomb in the related videos so I auotmatically HAD to make a 9/11 inside job comment...

[DopeOwl]

that was coolio

[DonBringer]

ASSHOLE ON THE HOLE! ASSHOLE ON THE HOLE!

[Frequent2001]

hahaha i like how these idiots were standing right next to these big glass windows

[bethabutt95]

[50sChevyKING]

[bethabutt95]

@50sChevyKING ok ??

[DTevr89]

Awesome! Do it again! Do it again! Do it again! Do it again! Oh, wait...

[bethabutt95]

@DTevr89 hahaha

[nartnayr]

[boomboxbadboy1]

why do yanks shout 'fire in the hole'?it sounds so fucking dumb

[A10pilot617]

@boomboxbadboy1 why do brits always have something to say about americans? it sounds so fucking dumb

[DoTheShuffaloShake]

@A10pilot617 Why do you yanks have to avoid any questions we ask and then invade foreign countries? it's just so fucking dumb

[A10pilot617]

@DoTheShuffaloShake you DO realise that england is involved in this war aswell... dont you?

[DoTheShuffaloShake]

@A10pilot617 After the US though, we followed you because our government were pathetic and were scared to say no.

[A10pilot617]

@DoTheShuffaloShake ur government is the SAME as americas... england and america entered into iraq at the same time... you didnt follow anything we went together

[braaaaaap2234]

@boomboxbadboy1 why do you fucking pussy britts always say pip pip cheerio... its so fucking dumb....

[AbdallahProductions]

@boomboxbadboy1 and why do brits keep calling americans yanks, sound funny

[boomboxbadboy1]

@AbdallahProductions ooooh get her!

[AETutorials42]

@boomboxbadboy1

Eh, pip-pip and cherrio, off for some tea and crumpets with me mates at the pub! Not after I spend my tax dollars on a royal wedding, right right?

[mgarc79]

so thats were my taxes are going

[xieper]

too much explosives methinks

[ekuLpsaaH]

That thing looked so old, they probably just could have shot it down! :) lol jk.

[HarithzBlizzard]

waw that was sweet

[vivitar45]

just be easyer just take one of your tanks and just put a shell to it

[IstasPumaNevada]

Looks like the wrong type and/or wrong application of explosives. If done correctly it would've been more efficient and much less dangerous.

[tryithere]

Kind of like the Wizard of Oz witch, she's there and a puff of smoke and she's gone.

[camaros65]

think their bored

[sonnytiger]

yeah lotta over kill

[tampabaybucs7]

SHIT!!! Thats My Water!!

[volopok]

overkill

[robloxiaman13853]

Do you know what would go with this vid? The 1812 overture.

[buzter123]

They are lucky they didn't get some of that shrapnel.

[Shack11]

Secret Soviets strike again....

[Ncp546]

Look at the wave

[15ssimnitt]

TERRORIZM! lol jk

[sorsorsor11]

[c4boom100]

buna explozie:) =)

[foad1337]

hehe overkill

[boilers2010]

gotta love the little shockwave caused by this thing!

[johneastmond]

The best part is; it barely fell over!!!

[fairyheli2]

holy shit thats a big bomb

[the182fan]

Could of pulled that down with dental floss lol

[bombercat123]

HEY DUMB FUCKS THIS IS A VIDEO ABOUT A TOWER FALLING NOT POLITICS DUMB SHITS and when people demolish buildings they need to just put a big ass bomb on it likke this

[tmac9938]

@bombercat123 fucking republicans.

[hooplablahblahblah]

@tmac9938 When did he say he was a republican?

[rayjr62]

@bombercat123 Controlled Demolitions are complex as they are intense as there are many steps that need to take place — including removing hazardous or regulated materials, obtaining necessary permits, disconnecting utilities, and development of site-specific safety and work plans. A simple minded "welfare-in-uniform" clown like you is obviously too dense to comprehend such an activity. You'd be too ignorant to make it in the real world.

[jason4852]

Wow no one can shut the fuck up and injoy this video STFU AND LISITEN jesus you all act like 4yr olds

[bombercat123]

wtf? looks like they just put a bomb there not precise pllaced tnt

[bc16canada]

Overkill

[Zei33]

Cool

[thebrainsbehind]

haha, they barely managed to actually knock the tower down.

US Military - all bang, no brains.

[squirrelgecko]

more like they perfectly measured the right amount of explosives to take it down.

[Deke101]

thebrainsbehind: I guess we can translate your name into butt-brain, then? Seems like these guys knew what they were doing. Safe distance, three shout warning, detonation right on time, use of cover from debris, right amount of explosives for the task, objective destroyed. Yup, looks like they win and you fail. Cheers.

[thebrainsbehind]

Haha, squirrelgeko, Deke101 - sensitive!! It was a joke. I couldn't give a hoot.

You've gotta admit though - excessive bang for the job in hand - I wouldn't say it was perfectly measured, more misdirected overkill. And if you want to be picky, those railings (0:21) are not what you or I would call cover either. But really, that could be any military having a lark, not just the US so chill yourselves -I appreciate the personal efforts of every good soldier out there.

Great films list Deke.

[thebrainsbehind]

errr, how!?  Nope, just costing you a lot of money.

[surfingsuicune]

Oh, so kind of analogous to all the little programs Obama and the Senate Dems have going right now? That $23.7 trillion to pay for all these programs? Sounds like a lot of money to me, you smug, Bill Maher emulating piece of shit.

[thebrainsbehind]

YES, analogous, you're being fucked AGAIN!

Lol, you made a massive leap to assume that because I think the last few years of military spending is fucked that I somehow think Obama is better. The US is just being ripped off again, people are duped into thinking Obama is new and progressive but he just represents Wall St rather than oil and military companies (although Afghanistan is keeping the latter happy).

It's a LOT of money and it's yours - unlucky! No wonder you're so angry, poor kid.

[werf4]

you're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off !!!!

[072623515]

o_o wooooow

[IamTheShermanator]

holy crap the shockwave o_o

[jezzr101]

The ripple from the shockwave that goes out looks really cool.

[HairyGamer]

lol

"fire in the hole, fire in the hole.... fire in the..."BOOM!

[mepiffi]

Awesome Shockwave :D

[DOMO93608]

i luv explosions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[anupamthecreator]

PWNED!!! FIRE IN THE HOLE!!

[kylecorreia]

i think they overdid the explosives it didn't need that much to take that down noobs

[CWK922]

It depends on the type of foundation and supports and the explosives used...

[MonkeyBoy2194]

I'm guessing the camera's about 780 metres away (I'm going to be scientific for once) about 2 seconds after seeing explosion you hear it and the speed of sound is about 340 m/s so times it by two and you get that =)

[personz123]

good i love that!

[rajngla77]

thats how marines do it...

[ydoc9000]

god damn how much explosives were they using to cause that big of a shock wave lol for an old tower like that just take out 2 legs and its comeing down

[LeninfromUSSR]

@ydoc9000 well considering their military, a shit ton

[Abricialio]

Lol glass breaks x'D

[kenfo0]

i just couldn't take your advice. i built a water tower in my yard, drilled a well to fill it, let it age 50 yrs, then blew it up. looked EXACTLY like this vid....scary.

[ajmcdavis]

check out the clouds

[DMagers]

The guys filming this are luckier than they know. If you watch between the road and the camera position you can see shrapnel hit the ground in several places and continue toward the observation point. That may be what broke the windows instead of the shock wave. If it was, that sure wasn't sweet...

[xronisxronis]

that must be noisy!!

[jabadog12]

I was actually down the road about a quarter mile when that went off and i felt the air from that blast......that was alot of explosives for a little water tower haha

[igotbored44]

all that for one little tower!

DAMN!

[WickedAt9Ball]

awsome

[BandGeek827]

LOL

[ComradeMartin]

OMG MY WATER!

[brianchris4]

thing looked almost fake at first then you see the smoke and the windows break out :O

[pyrotaco]

dam that was big

[Togood4uf00]

i fart better

[Dementedbreakfast]

dbcoolnl. Your science is worse than your English. Light travels faster than sound.

[dbcoolnl]

You heard the sound later than it explose ore somthing srry fore my bad english.

[gromell]

where was this? iraq?

[wildyowner5]

yh inladens house

[Kcy101]

Best video on you tube....I LOVE IT
