Video – French water tower imploded…

Spectacular film captures final moments of French water tower.

Sadly, like the vast majority of my fellow countrymen, I am hideously and unforgivably mono-lingual. Sure, I studied French at school but the only word I remember is guepe (wasp) and the only phrase I have ever mastered is “le singe est dans l’arbe” (the monkey is in the tree) which is from an Eddie Izzard comedy skit. Neither of these serves me well in a demolition environment.

As a result, the commentary on the video below (featuring Arnaud Demolition) means very little. But if a picture paints a thousand words, then a video can paint a million. And this film speaks for itself. (and you can skip forward to the 2.22 mark if you’re equally cursed linguistically:
