my question is where the hell are farmers taking their grain then if all these structures are being imploded?

@garycalgary The question, where they take the grain now? Prince Rupert because of the expansion of Pacific Rim markets, and also up to Churchill Manitoba. With the ending of the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly, we are going to see increased traffic in the Port of Thunder Bay. The issue will be the capacity to handle the extra tonnes. We have around 19 grain elevators here, around 7 are decommissioned, meaning all of the guts are ripped out, and to put them back in operation may cost too much...

There is a BIG DIFFRENCE between IMPLOSION AND EXPLOSION. What happened in this video was implosion, meaning the building colapeses in on itself. Explosion means peices of the building would go everywhere. My friend Implodes buildings for a living here in Edmonton.
