Although he’s probably fine, I wonder how many people each year film their own deaths instead of assuring their own safety.
I remember when this happened at a local grain co-op in Iowa. Metal silo split causing the two on either side of it to fail too. They thought 2 guys had been buried until they came back from their lunch break.
Hi, I manage a place like this. This may not be what happened but this is my industry and my educated guess based on past experiences. This bin very well may have been structurally compromised before they added grain.
Central Illinois weather has been dry. Very dry. So dry that a lot of soybeans have been coming in at 7.5-9% moisture, which is way below the 11.5-14% that normally occur. When you put super dry soybeans or corn in a bin, they run the risk of picking up moisture and **EXPANDING** in volume. If the operators filled the bin to the top with dry beans or corn and then ran aeration fans to cool the crop down, they could have introduced air moisture (humidity) to the grain and caused them to expand 2-5%+ of their initial volume.
Now, you’re thinking that’s not bad, it should hold. Concrete doesn’t have bend like metal does so it cracks, hence why some rebar is in the concrete to help give a little bit of flex to the structure. If a bin holds 100,000 bushels of super dry grain and that moisture makes those expand by just 5%, that is like trying to fit 5,000 more bushels (5 semi trailers worth of grain) into a space that doesn’t exist. Basically, there is nowhere for that pressure to go and you get grain bins blowing out sides, ripping apart, collapsing, and blowing roofs.
I couldn’t watch the video is too grainy
When “Ohhhh!” become “Oh shit”, things just got real.
I’m an engineer and can tell you with 100% certainty that silo collapsed
Where is our hero!?
Seeing rebar is usually a bad sign

A few minutes later
May be a dumb question, but is this the type of scenario where a spark could ingte fine particles in the air and potentially cause an explosion?
Wheat grains can’t melt steel rebar
Camera guy had ONE job….

Lucky the grain did not combust. The person recording would have been in a world of hurt.
I see where your problem is… it’s that big hole in the side.
Who watches something self destruct in real time without moving back to safety before its inevitable collapse?
Feels like my hernia.
all that money right down the grain
Tariffs killed the contract so a smart farmer is getting his money for the beans/ corn from the insurance company and a new bin etc
Pretty gnarly. People aren’t going to realize how dangerous and probably avoidable an incident this was. I imagine that silo was visibly compromised prior to them filling it this season. Would be interesting to see what the insurance discovery on this would look like.
Oh, there it goes. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh shi—–
Lucky it didn’t blow up
Homer that better not be your pig crap silo
They were lucky there wasn’t a spark. Grain silo explosions are thing.
Bart:
Milhouse. You were supposed to be the night watchman.
Milhouse:
I was watching. I saw the whole thing. First it started falling over, then it fell over.
They’re so fucking lucky it didn’t light up with those sparks that flew.
Now they can collect insurance on it and write it off instead of being stuck with it
The middle fell off.
They spilled the beans.
Video is to grainy, needs more seeders.
Oooh, so thats a cornhole
People always get too close to stuff that is unstable.
Ze thinnest wafer…
I thought it meant close-up like “damn cameras are good af now”, not that this guy was standing 30 feet away from the thing lmao
So instead of panicking and running when witnessing this, he pulls out a phone? Sounds about right for this timeline
The front fell off…
Is insurance gonna cover that?
Kind of a good metaphor for America
