It could ever drop the way it’s supposed to were they have digged the side or if windy drop on itself

I really thought the way this came down we were going to get a new “did you like that?” after he ran away. 😂

I was there that night and what a night it was... at this point on stage with MC Magica ❤️

Did u like that..

This was the gent we paid to come over to Scranton and drop two chimneys at the US Steel plant. Gent dropped the chimney on a cafeteria full of kids then high tailed it back to England. 😔

Went perfic !

When the gentleman drove away on his motorcycle I thought the Benny Hill skit was going to start. 😂🤣😂👍🏻✨👯

Be interesting to see how the clowns we have today in the health and safety department would tackle a chimney?

We're a bit down on tires. Ha ha.

Back when health and safety were optional extras.

Was nice of him to let David Bowie light the fire

I was amused by the comment that he had only done 1 of these before and that didn’t go quite right

A MAN IN HIS FULLEST FORM .

Nice one Fred dibnah Rest in peace a Bolton hard working legend 🌎✌️💖

I love Fred Dibnah. He was one of my television heroes growing up. I was born in 1963 and im now 60. When i see all theses young lads running about having fun it reminds me of how i grew up. Those were far better times. I still love watching his programme repeats on TV.

I HATE METAL WORK AND ENGINEERING STUFF PLUS STEAM ENGINES ETC. EXCEPT FOR WHEN I SEE THIS MAN IF HE HAD BEEN A TEACHER AT MY SCHOOL MY LIFE WOULDVE TAKEN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TURN THIS MAN WAS BRILLIANT LOVED HIS HOUSE TOO HOPE THATS BEING LOOKED AFTER PROPERLY SHOULD BE PRESERVED HOW HE LEFT IT RIP SIR 💙♥️🇬🇧

Fred and 'gravity', a potent mix.

Why the dont use dynamite?

Here I am 11 years later. Zero idea why you tube suddenly wants me to watch it now

Sir fred a hero a legend and sadly missed. A man born to late a hundred years ago he would have been a giant.

Muricans be like: "Where were the explosives? There should have been explosives! Lots of explosives!" ;-)

The levels of asbestos in this video is off the charts

Legend

I have known about Fred for 3 days. My hands are still wet. 😅

Revive this diamond of an era, stop suicidal thoughts and depression🤞🙏

It didn’t go wrong Fred was just making it easier for people to clear up 😂

Fed up with Married Life? Need a Change? Cooking for One appeals more and more? Then get your wife to Blackpool on holiday and follow the Dr Fred Dibnah recipe for marital destruction. Make your wife pass your ladders up to you as you fell a chimney in the p!ssing down rain, so long as you buy her a Kagool what could possibly go wrong? 😂😂😂 Diamond Geezer Fred, but families.......... He's sh!t 'em!

I read somewhere that the condition of the bricks was poor, so that could be a factor in it collapsing on itself. Fred would have done everything 100% right for it to fall in the right direction but it came down on its self instead. It would be difficult to asses the quality and condition of the brickwork especially when’s its hidden at the rear side of the chimney.

A pure gentlenan and a legend,godbless old boy,😊

Wow awsome,

It fell too early not in the wrong spot. That's pretty obvious because of Fred blowing the whistle after the chimney fell

The fire brigade: who wasted our time right lets just stand by m2fs from echo 222 request no further assistance at briter street over

Laws on asbestos control were already in place by the early mid 1970s. They’ve since been gold plated but it is nasty stuff.

If that happend today fred would have been in jail for 2000 years . HSE would be so far up his ass lol.

A true grafter with loads of enthusiasm …a rare sight now days

That was majestic.

Alison was best woman for him me thinks

Little did he know what that bike would be worth now, especially in that condition.

This guy is a British legend

Wow look at the community

Who's fred?

The patriarchy has been good to him.

Takes a tower down with a box of matches then goes the pub, what a legend.

Not very green!

OMG like what about climate change like. We need a lockdown

Good luck, no one is hurt

I love how the locals would pat him on back and congratulate him, that community spirit isn't as common as back in the day and watching fred you can see how much he brought everyone together...some man! No fear! But a warm and gentle man also..legend

Again.... I am ashamed of your video. Liz is vulnerable . You were taking advantage. I hope that you feel bad

Many of the health and safety critics here make more errors typing than Fred did. He was a practical engineer who followed traditional methods and learned from observation and experience. Today’s armchair H&S critics would probably shut down a job if someone hit their thumb with a hammer while knocking out a brick.

Kudos to the cameraman for filming WITHIN a tower that’s propped up with bits of wood!
