Wow.  Makes me think of the towers that went over like that with men on them.

Wow, and quite a complex at that facility.  Must have been shot with a drone since long shots seem to zoom in close behind a building at the end.

We had two men killed in just such a tower fall here, Clarksburg, WV, just about a year ago.
 This ipad won't let me attach copy of link but it can be found with search at wboy.com

An Oklahoma contractor was cited I believe.

This video is of a controlled demolition. If you looking at the paint bands, you can see that most of it had already been disassembled leaving just a few bottom sections beneath what must have been the bottom sets of guy wires. Looks likes it must have been a rather tall tower at one time.

From the skid which shows up in a few parts of the video, looks like it was taken from a helicopter.  Front of the skid kind of looks like a Jet Ranger's/OH-58.

Look at the closeup of the base?
Look next to it, that's a wood shipping pallet!!

Look at the size of the I beams sticking up from the concrete!!!
