Farmer attempts grain silo demolition with a sledgehammer

Usually, when a large grain silo needs demolishing you call in the explosives team and take it down with a controlled explosion. But the farmer in the video above decided to save a bit of money and demolish this silo on his own. He didn't have any specialist demolition equipment--it's just him and his trusty sledgehammer.

The farmer is very lucky not to have been injured as the silo could have fallen in any direction. Unfortunately for him, it didn't fall down at all. Luckily, he had a tractor with enough pull to topple the then weakened structure.

Health and safety best practices this is most definitely not.
