Amazing video of a botched demolition in Ohio where a tower falls onto a powerstation and onto high voltage lines. This was today (Video)
Here’s the direct link to the video you didn’t make but are using to scam blog hits:

Why do people get so weird about being sent to a blog?
Glad no one was hurt. As one commenter said, “It’s an exact science”. Am curious as to the cause. Misfire, delayed firing? Doesn’t appear to be “cracks” in the stack. It came down in one piece.
Somebody either sold the contractor bad explosives or bad timing devices.
Because usually it’s nothing they can’t take a minute to post in its entirety here, rather than just to get “hits” to their website.
Who cares?
Beats the hell out of me, but then I don't know that I have ever visited a blog and don't see a need to.
Apparently, blog pimping is some type of capital offense.
It’s an annoyance. Only a fraction of blogs are worth visiting, and a lot of the blogpimps waste our time on ones that are often links to other links they could simply post right here, like something from Youtube. In other words, they waste our time.
First, I'll not be SENT anywhere.
It's like this.
Somebody finds a video, or it gets sent to them.
Good deal. They view it and figure it might be something
FReepers would like. Great, I'm glad for that.
Now comes the bad part.
Instead of just posting the video here, this selfish scummy
stinking unwashed blogpimp embeds the video on it's blog.
It then slithers onto FR and posts a teaser, basically saying
"I found a video! Visit my blog to see it!" while contemplating
yet another day without a shower or any kind of personal grooming.
The fact is that this scum can make money by pimping it's blog.
Not much, but enough for hookers and crack and a can of ravioli.
Don't support this kind of behavior. It's bad for the Nation.
Exactly. I love when they try to ‘jack a Youtube vid and claim it as theirs (or “their” find), but you can ONLY see it or find the link on their blog.
They have nothing better to do.
More precisely, why do people get so weird about being sent to a blog on a thread that is posted in the "Bloggers & Personal" forum?
Shameless, isn't it?
Not just the nation, but the entire world. No, the entire solar system. In fact, I think it threatens the very existance of the universe.
In stead of clicking on blog posts, why don’t you try to beat these folks to the punch and find the neat videos before they do and post a direct link?
It seems like this blog found an interesting video and wants to take credit for the find.
Plus there is another video and some neat pictures at the link.
