Concrete Silo Breakdown - Close One!

2013 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Demolishing work, an old concrete silo approx. 30 feet high has to be taken down.

Who would be dumb enough to knock out slab by slab at the bottom with a sledge-hammer to bring it down?

And who wo stand right beside the person doing this to film it?

All actors in this movie were very lucky that the silo not collapse in any other way.

If hammer boy would have not been that fast he would probably be dead.

Indeed a Darwin Award Award Nonimee.
