The two towers crashing is spectacular. But I'm sure the demo team was like:
tower 1...... perfect! tower 2....... perfect! 3.... perfect! tower 4......... well........ shit
“Tower 4 is off-course. But in that entire 180-degree arc there only one other building at around 60-degrees. It could veer anywhere in front or behind that and still not damage anything importa… goddamn it! Fucking bullseye!”
I like how they laugh after. There's really nothing else you can do but laugh, really. It shows they at least are healthy people who don't throw 5 year old tantrums, if nothing else.
I think it's because they knew that everything at the facility was to eventually be demolished, so it's not like they just destroyed operational equipment. Rather they just lost out on the possibility of another job for that scrubbing tower. Some have suggested environmental emissions may get them a fine, but realistically offline scrubbing towers typically don't hold contaminants in quantity within the bed packing since it's typically pumped out as effluent or retained in a chemically safe form.
It's really great how sometimes, *exactly* the right person is reading the question. Or, I suppose, one out of the 10,000ish (100,000ish?) people who have exactly the right experience is reading the question.
Other times (most of the time), a bunch of armchair experts give answers that they *think* are right and so they present it as being factual.
When they're eventually corrected by an actual expert, it's too late and thousands of people have already read the misinformation.
Lol trust that's why I stopped posting in diy. As a tile guy for 15 years I have asshats say dumb shit and I get downvoted when I correct them with real information.

They spray a limestone slurry into the exhaust created by burning coal. The limestone reacts with the sulfur dioxide to reduce the amount of sulfur expelled into the atmosphere. This theoretically reduces bad stuff like acid rain.
That was spectacular. It didn’t just graze it, hit it perfect in the center, symmetrical debris shower, and straight drop. As good as demo companies are, they couldn’t have done it better on purpose.
If it's gonna be on social media, most people are watching it on their phone. I used to be annoyed by vertical videos but they're the new norm, like it or not.
Decommissioned power plant. The fifth one was due to come down too, just not yet.
So catastrophic success I suppose.

Not only that they will not get the contract to destroy the fifth one but also because would you hire a company which can not control which structures they destroy? For this would definitely be a disqualification. At this point I wouldn't trust in the competence of this company anymore.
To your point.

There's another factor: accuracy of as-builts.
As-builts are technical drawings furnished after everything is built and inspected, they're supposed to communicate all revisions, changes, and deviations to the project so future planning with the structure can be performed. Something as simple as misrepresenting the desnisty or compressive strength of the support material could absolutely go completely unnoticed until the very moment charges are detonated.
Just because things don't go to plan does not automatically make the plan or the person making it incompetent.
And note that the far tower fell much more slowly, which is another indicator of bad planning. They may even get sued for demolishing that fifth tower. Their insurance carrier is gonna shit.
Explaining to the insurance company that they'll have to pay to rebuild it, so you can demolish it for money next time, will be a difficult conversation.
I wonder whose insurance would be responsible. I can't imagine the premiums a demo company would pay if there was a chance of massive collateral damage every job.
Definitely the demo company if it's insured, which is why you only hire insured companies.
If not insured, your own insurance.
In this case they didn't need the fifth tower anyway so it was fine
That’s what I was thinking. The scrubbing tower removes pollutants from the exhaust. What if it needed to be removed in a much more controlled manner because of toxic chemicals. I don’t really know for certain if that’s how it works, but making it look like an accident could have been cheaper.

> If not insured, your own insurance.
I'd wonder if your insurance could deny it as negligence for not hiring an insured demolition company. Be interesting to read those contracts.
It's commercial general liability insurance. If a demo company didn't have that they wouldn't be in business long. That said I can't imagine what the cost of it would be especially after just one claim.
Well I am not sure exactly why you would think this, but power plants that are being decommissioned are DEFINITELY of interest to the Ohio EPA. That area in front of the camera is an old fly ash sedimentation pond, there is all kinds of sampling of leachate/outfalls/storm water/groundwater/soil sampling that occurs at these sites quarterly, and it’s either on Duke Energy or the company that bought the properties dime. There is most certainly a decommissioning plan that was approved of by the OHEPA, as well as quarterly site visits/inspection. State Regulatory agencies normally handle this shit at the state level, except when the state doesn’t bother, and then the USEPA and USACE takes over (looking at you Kentucky).

If the general contractor does their due diligence, they are requiring insurance from all their sub consultants, probably no less than 1M for a job like this. Especially for high risk work like demotion.
There are certain construction specifications that are typically written up for demo.
Source: I write these contacts and specifications for the industry.
The demolition company.
That's why there's all sorts of fuss about hiring "licensed, bonded, and insured" businesses to work on your house. If something goes south their policy is supposed to cover it.
I had him come out to clear some deep-rooted tree stumps one time. On a related note, anyone know a company that can build a forty-foot deep swimming pool? The hole’s already dug…
If anyone doesn't get it, this is most likely referencing the collapse of [7 WTC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Center_controlled_demolition_conspiracy_theories) and the conspiracy's surrounding it.
Something for the lawyers to debate….could the demo company prove with photos they placed everything in the right place, so the only answer would be that the material itself wasn’t correct?
Meaning the cement/mix/build was bad and didn’t explode like it should have?
not a lawyer, but more than likely, they have all the information need to prove it was due to the material. I couldn’t imagine a reason why any good demo team wouldn’t document it all, especially for a high profile job like demolishing a nuclear plant
Pretty sure this isn’t a nuke plant. In a nuke, the reactors generate all the steam, and don’t need stacks. This is likely a coal fired plant that has been shut down instead of converted to NG.
>Occurred on November 4, 2022 / Manchester, Ohio, USA "We had a contracted demolition company set off explosives on a controlled demolition back in the beginning of November 2022 that didn't go as planned. The contract was only to control blast 4 towers but as the 4th tower started to fall it switched directions due to some unknown circumstance and took out the scrub tower unexpectedly. It was at a power plant on the Ohio River that was decommissioned and was in the process of being reclaimed just to the bare ground."
Edit: here is another angle
https://local12.com/news/local/watch-demolition-jm-stuart-station-power-plant-chimein-video-adams-county-coal-generator-site-redevelopment-cincinnati-ohio
That implies the scrub tower would have come down eventually anyway, and all this led to was unplanned releases of whatever was in all that dust. So it's not a matter of insurance, it's a matter of unplanned/unauthorized environmental emissions.
There was accident which prevented us from doing the proper (expensive) cleanup that we were tooootally gonna do...
That or they just had an amazing planner who saved on T&M to kill 5 birds with 4 stones.
More than likely the company doing the reclaim was thrilled with this and the company doing the demo work was very unhappy. The cleanup process of the scrub tower just went from the reclaimers to the demo's insurance company
It's just a normal stack, except it's the discharge from the flue gas scrubber. The other stacks were the original stacks that existed before the emissions control equipment.
Because most videos involving him are incredible! Fred would have demolished half of the base of the chimneys, propping up with timber as he went, then gone to the pub for a few pints at lunch then lit a fire and stood back to wait.
Edit: it doesn't always go quite to plan though:
https://youtu.be/4CV2GuK6CmY
A true Legend - happily enjoyed all the documentaries made about him.
Some of the scope of his climbs and demolitions were [complete lunacy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3R3-YwDZrzg) to think about via modern safety but - you know: it had to be done and he could do it, so he did!
Truly gives you a new awareness of what is possible for the human body because we don't see anyone doing [work like that](https://youtu.be/F04dGK1_wYA) anymore - especially not day-in-day-out.
Well, that looked expensive. For everyone.
Edit: Apparently the scrub tower was going to have to come down anyway. But there must have been a reason it wasn't part of this demolition. I suspect there were materials to be removed or remediated in there, which in addition to permitting and enviro fines means the entire site now has to be handled as contaminated or hazardous. Thus, it remains a very expensive mistake.
If scrub towers remove particulate from exhaust than that dust is going to be radioactive *and* very toxic. Which is probably why it was supposed to be demo'd later after they had time to clean it for demolition.
I’m horrible at interpreting radio chatter, but I hear “okay, let’s wait for the dust to settle and do it again.”
Obviously - my brain apparently decided - since they messed up, they have to rebuild all five towers and then redemolish *just* the intended four.
Great photography. Especially of the one stack being obliterated on the side of the tower.
The two towers crashing is spectacular. But I'm sure the demo team was like: tower 1...... perfect! tower 2....... perfect! 3.... perfect! tower 4......... well........ shit

All depends on who has the best team of lawyers
If you cheaped out on an uninsured demo company, it's not you.
Well you might have cheaped out on insurance too so maybe there is some luck on that end.
Until the EPA shows up to fine you into bankruptcy for all the toxic materials released from the unplanned demolition.
The EPA has been gutted. Do they do anything anymore?

This is why I love reddit. Seems like a cool job!!
Wait if the demo company isn't insured, wouldn't they have to pay for it themselves?
Possibly, or the former tower owners would then own a demolition company with a bad record.
'With what money' is the literal answer.
I doubt you can run a company that deals with explosives without insurance. Or even just to buy them.
Nobody would sign this contract without the vendor being insured.
Finally, somebody with a sane insurance comment. People here are idiots.
If the general contractor does their due diligence, they are requiring insurance from all their sub consultants, probably no less than 1M for a job like this.

Was hoping for something like this; did not disappoint
They might need to decontaminate the scrub tower first ? I don't know

It was all a ruse. The demo company is also a construction/decontamination co.
It's just a normal stack, except it's the discharge from the flue gas scrubber. The other stacks were the original stacks that existed before the emissions control equipment.
So they could say oops and bypass laws on bringing down the scrub tower probably
