Cooling towers get the SlowMoGuys treatment in epic video.
Anyone that has spent any time on YouTube will surely have come across the SlowMoGuys; a team of young film-makers who specialise in high-definition, slow motion films of things being destroyed (we highly recommend their six foot water balloon film).
Well, they have now turned their attention to the demolition busines and, more specifically, the destruction of five cooling towers. Shot at 350 frames per second, the slow motion film captures the balletic nature of the stacks’ collapse and gives a real insight into the mechanics and physics of an implosion. Recommended viewing!
