Ogden grain elevator implosion (video)

The best implosion videos are always the ones that have been planned beforehand with multiple camera angles and using cameras good enough to make slow-motion feasible. This grain elevator implosion is one such example.

The elevator has been standing in Calgary for 98 years, but that was brought to an end at the weekend due to it being too expensive to maintain. Owner Cargill decided the only thing to do was raise it to the ground. The work was carried out by Rakowski Cartage and Wrecking Ltd.

With the fun bit over, the site clean up is expected to take until February next year to complete.
