Mad River stack video(s)...

The stack fell across 2 distribution circuits, and tore those down. The automatic circuit breaker recliners attempted closing the lines back instantly, and then again 15 seconds later, as they’re designed to do.

A good time was had by all.

“reclosers” - not recliners. LOL

Spell check is evil.

Amateurs....There is a film of a guy in UK that went around demolishing tall chimneys from old factories.

He had 2 prices....

Price 1...he would take the chimney apart brick by brick...starting at the top

Price 2...he would demolish the chimney.
He would shore up the bottom fire hole with wood...and take a more bricks out ,,,putting more timbers in to stabilize the chimney,

Set fire to the wood and retire from a safe distance.

When the timbers burnt down...the chimney would topple over.
