    Damn, crazy how they had so many lined up like that and perfectly timed the demolitions for this shot.

    That must have taken at least five full minutes of preparation!

      No, don’t be silly. It’s a left to right timeline. They exploded that stack into existence. It’s much quicker than building it brick by brick.

    It’s significantly more interesting while backwards, but why?

      I’m pretty sure it is actually the fastest chimney construction ever!

      See?! It even forms a dust cloud around the workers because they work so fast!

        German efficiency at its best.
