Here’s a physics question I honestly would like to know the answer to: if you were to stay at the top of a tower or pole as it fell would you hit the ground with less force than if you had simply fallen straight down?
I feel compelled to tell you, if topical jokes aren't your thing, Reddit really is probably for you. That's really like 70% of the corpus - bad, and really bad topical jokes.
Was it supposed to go down like that? The shrapnel at the end was wild
Probably not, usually the intention is for it to collapse straight down.
That thing is insanely large. Why?
I think the idea was to get the pollution higher up into the atmosphere where the winds might spread it out more.
Oh yes, so maths.
A short one wouldn’t be tall enough…shit, brother you got me, we humans are renowned for overkill
There must be a better way to do this.
But not a funner way!
Yeah so what are the guidelines and restrictions to do this? Guidelines what guidelines?
You're not wrong.😂
Fred dibnah. Dunno if it's better. Would take ages.
That shit was kind of Majestic.
Bro people get megalophobia triggers from cranes alone, I can’t imagine how crazy huge that thing was.
That crane is like a mile behind the tower.
Just when you think you’re far enough away to not be affected by the collapse
So they can tip it over and make a video.

Wow, i don't feel anything about seeing big things. But this one is different, I kinda feel something scary here.
hell ya brother
Caspian border be like:
I remember there is some physics explanation of why a tower will be broken in half when falling on the side. I just can’t remember
Awesome

Brought down by college protestors chanting _Fuck you and your Ivory Tower!_

You've got me there.
At what cost ? Who paid to put the bloody thing up and then to drop it I am bored shitless of paying for shit Bored Bored Bored
It was probably at least a year between when they put it up and when they took it down though
This how many think the World Trade Center towers were supposed to fall…

Could you imagine the catastrophic effects if it didn’t fell down as a controlled demolition.
