Chimney Toppling, a Great Publicity Stunt (5 pics)

Posted in Lifestyle » Cars   6 May 2011   / 5586 views

This 220 ft., 140 ton chimney in Reading, Berkshire that would normally take tons of dynamite to demolish was brought down in a matter of seconds by four Volkswagen pickup trucks. It was actually a publicity stunt for Volkswagen. However, the chimney toppling still took months of careful planning from demolition experts and structural engineers.

Probably steel cables, and you need a lot of tension to pull those taught, more than the tower could withstand

@Smert, It's just a matter of perspective.
#1, they haven't started pulling yet
#2 its all ready on it's way over, at this point the chimney is gaining on the pickups.

Check the top of the chimney in the pics.
