Man Escapes Collapsing Silo

Life on the farm can be really, really hard work, but it certainly comes with its rewards. Like this video, for instance: sometimes you have to take down an old silo, but that doesn’t mean you can’t stand back and watch it spectacularly crash to the ground. In fact, you could be like these people and record it. Then you too might receive that special honor of ending up on AFV (or even better: this blog!)

It was a windy afternoon that day on the plains. You can hear it by the interference on the microphone, sounds like you’re in one of those coin-operated wind tunnels you find at a science center or museum or something. The lady filming expresses her reservations about the safety of the dog (“I don’t want it to die”— who does?) standing within the presumed crash radius, but luckily for everyone involved, the pooch scurries to a safe distance shortly thereafter.
