This long overdue update to our popular “This Had Great Potential, But Alas…” series is brought to you by New York hillbillies. Filmed in Lowville, Lewis County, New York, the video shows a guy trying to knock down a silo by collapsing the lower level panels with a sledge hammer. This was an incredibly dangerous undertaking and easily one of the most unbelievable cheats of death ever caught on camera. How he managed to avoid being crushed is beyond me, but he certainly earned an honorary Darwin Award nomination.
Props to Best Gore member FleshyVirus for the video:

TIMBER!
This guy played to much Red Faction. now next one on pro time! haha
Spot on reference. love that game
How I love demolish EDF shit with old pal Jankins.
I don’t know, these guys sounded like Canadians to me.
ya I had the same feeling they were canadain as well. i’m from canada myself and everyone i work with sound like these hicks.
Well, I’m pretty the guy that was doing the chopping, his sweater you can see it at 1:42, looks like “Farmington, CT” Connecticut, USA. Although it did sound like us eh?
Teaching the new guy what not to do in demolition work.
Apparently, silos fall with somewhat more of a straight downward motion than chopped-down trees. Good thing to keep in mind the next time you demolish enormous farm structures with a sledgehammer.
I’m hoping that there is a 2nd silo and his buddy records him getting crushed like a tomato. But that was pretty cool how he knocked it down with a sledge hammer….
I have to agree with you, stupid but impressive.
Fuck i hate when he put the camera down geez am i the only one who would film anything without even blinking or showing emotion? videos gotta be good and not ruined like he did but yeah awesome lol
hopefully all we missed was dust and ash. You are right tho, dumbass camera man should have stood back more. But you got to think, they are gullible so when one says they have seen it done before they all believe he is wise.
That’s why tripod exist for such occasions!
It is like jenga, you think it will fall and then when you think one more will go BOOM it falls lol
I was on the edge of my seat hoping for…….lol
The anticipation was delicious
Playing with death, I love it
I bet he had to change his underwear as soon as the camera got shut off. Lucky bastard.
This vid makes me want to sniff wet cement.
you alright?
Now it can join all the other junk littered about the place.
They sound like theyre from North Dakota or somewhere near there.
I actually grew up about a half hour from there. YES, THEY ARE THAT DUMB AND CRAZY!!!!! He was a lucky MF.
Where was this, @pammila 34 ?
Where was this taken, @pammila 34 ?
its shit like this among other things, that makes us New Yorkers look Stupid!
That and voting for Obama. AGAIN.
this is the proof that Darwin was wrong!!
I need to hire this guy to knock down the storage shed at the bottom of my garden LOL
red neks lol
Oh man! I laughed out loud when I heard where it was from! Lowville, is about an hour from the Canadian border, and the only thing there are farmers, Amish, and rednecks. My husband briefly lived there when he was first stationed in New York, lol. What a lucky fucker. lol And no, all of Upstate isn’t like that, I’m from the Adirondacks. lol
And I just watched it again to hear their voices and I don’t think they sounded Canadian…or had an accent….at all….fuck. Now I wonder if I sound Canadian…
lol …
Adirondacks vermont ????
No, New York, about an hour north of Albany.
Good job, Carl. You have surely earned this 6′er of keystone.
That is a silly silo demolition.
He needs matrix time for doing such things.
That is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen. It’s just pure luck that he;s alive.
After reading the title I knew the guy wasn’t gonna catch a tile in his dome, but still, I hoped. Just shows you that hope is worthless!
