Got to be fake.. according to other videos it didn't land on him or his equipment. Therefore it's must be a fake!

Fred Dibnah invented this.

+1 for the status bar at the bottom so I'm not wondering if I'm watching it over and over again
goosenman
You should look up Fred Dibnah - he basically invented this.
MEATBALLPURSE
Must have been a nightmare climbing all the way up there with those HUGE FRIGGAN BALLS
Nathanfake
why doesn't he just use his huge balls of steel to demolish it?

Anyone who liked this. Go look up Fred Dibnah.

Reminds me of when i played Red Faction Guerilla. That shit had awesome destruction physics

Hhmm. Demolition Simulator 2018. I can see it

Poor chainsaw :(
MoreCatsThanSense
Tungsten Carbide tipped teeth chain for brick/masonary cutting. Been around for some years now. Chainsaw is fine :-)
goocie
Never knew about this, and ive worked as a lumberjack for a couple of years.
MoreCatsThanSense
I saw a builder cut a doorway in a brick wall in a house a few years back with a watercooled one, impressive, but messy! :-)
mikeemoo2071
Nah, too much safety stuff, Fred Dibnah was a bit more old school: https://youtu.be/ezX_o0H5FuE

That contraption is billiant
worstyearever
I was going to mention him but couldn't remember his name, I googled "steeplejack legend" and he was the first result, as he should be :]
GrampaJack
Wow, thank you very much. I had never heard of old Fred and what a bloody stud he was! Much obliged for the tip!

Dammit, that's even the same video I linked before I saw your post. I deleted mine.
mikeemoo2071
Some of his films are flipping terrifying!

aw hell no.

Explosives would have been more fun.
overcookedchickennugget
Can't they use jet fuel like everyone else ?
HONHHONHHONHTITTYCROISSANTS
That's safe.

Not sure it makes sense to trust steps driven into a chimney that's so brittle you can just casually push the top off with no tools.
GoodDadJokes
I feel like controlled demolition with explosives would be much faster and way more enjoyable to watch.
YouCapturedMe
I don't know. I think it's cool to see a lumberjack fell a rare Yorkshire Redbrick.
dowingba
Why not just nuke it from orbit?
muckinpattis
MI does the dyin, Fleet just does the flyin
DownVoteVerifier
Controlled?? Just use a bunch of dynamite and blow the shit out of the base. Even if you used 10x overkill to blow it, it would be timesavin
BenderThe0ffender
Hourly pay for sure
circlebreaker
Explosives are controlled, unless they were to borrow a bunch of farmer's dynamite. I assume that this is just less expensive & regulated?
PersonfromEarth
Did you not see the building below?
Nerdygasm
I didn't until I read your comment

Why demolish it shit like that in the middle of the woods is awsome
Lumpybiscuitz
wat woods
Mercenarity
But obviously brittle, unstable, hazardous, and a liability for the landowner.
GrampaJack
Ah yes, liability. Welcome to adulthood.
MisterTrashPanda
Didn't seem all that brittle or unstable to me
Mercenarity
A fair amount of brick and mortar appear rotted and pitted out. I wouldn't trust it on a 2m wall let alone a chimney.
Mercenarity
Removing it before it becomes critical is a good idea.
SpartaWolf117
and just think of how long it took to make the damn thing in the first place
Grizabellakat007
This makes me sad :(
Treblaine
Well, it probably stood for decades but is not unsafe and needs to be knocked down in a safe period.
Treblaine
*not safe / is unsafe.

Here's a +1 from my puckered asshole...

The initial overhead was freaky, but the over-the-shoulder shot just fuuuuucked me up.

StoptheInfamousElGuapo
seems like a couple of lbs of strategically placed C-4 would have been easier and quicker.....
SomeGuyWithAPlan
As we've seen, there's a fine line between "strategically" placed and "I thought it was strategically" placed.
StoptheInfamousElGuapo
that IS true....with explosives, I would say that is why hiring an actual professional would be wise choice....
crumpuppet
that look down... shit

So... Any diamonds yet?

Thanks... I'll take it!

How long were you saving that gif?

Heh, thats @thund3rbolt, one of the surviving gif masters. They probably made it in 5 seconds after realizing it would perfectly fit context

uh-oh ...they're on to me!

CHAINSAWS CAN'T MELT BRICK BEAMS
MericanFunkYeah
Maybe it's jet fueled
ihavethelowground
A jet powered chainsaw. That's something I would love too see
DenaliRaven
Chainsaw powered jet. Cuts through the air!
Shenanigans80
I've been to the Stihl museum and they have a turbine powered saw. They didn't let me run it though.

At least you didn't do it this way.

For those worried he survived with no injuries I believe. There is a video of him stepping out
calenlass
Those overhead guards are no joke. A mate on a fork had 2" steel pipes fall from 3 stories and bounce off. He's fine, and the fork mostly is

Did I just watch someone die?

Here's a youtube video of the other people there rushing over and pulling him out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-slDDFNdx8

Maybe not those things have strong chasies and the mas of the bricks is less as they don't hold well/only a horizontal section.
antivaxtumblrvegan
That must've been loud.
Anamenooneelsehas2
I'm wondering if this is part 2 of the same chimney
SomeGuyWhoSaysStuff
Of course it is, they rebuilt it just to destroy it again.
ForTheSwarm
Some people are patient enough to watch the entire post. Some people clearly are not.

That's me! He's taking about me! I'm the impatie... Hey what's that over there? Gotta go!
