A person standing on top of a large structure captured a grain bin collapsing on video.

The footage appears to be shot on a mobile device and shows the final moments before the bin comes down.




 

The video, which doesn’t specify where the footage was taken, opens with two grain bins in sight. The one on the left looks like it’s suffered some damage already as the top of it appears to be caved in in various spots.

A few loud bangs can be heard as the structure begins to crumple. After a few seconds, the grain bin folds in on itself and within seconds is completely destroyed as a cloud of dust and smoke forms around it.
