Skydiver Almost Struck by Meteorite

silo collapse

A news item appeared about a silo collapse in Washington and possibly trapping a person inside, or more than one person. Probably trapped in a building attached to the silo. None of the articles had photos so far, but there sure are a lot of photos of collapsed silos. It's a thing. Grain all over the place.

A friend of mine owns such a silo, participant in a farmer's co-op, so socialized farming, he said the farmers use the silo as a bank. He told me all about silos and how they come into being on the landscape.

This collapse makes me think maybe a better shape for grain silos is a a cone, like the pyramids constructed in the shape of a collapsed edifice, a mountain, so when it collapses it is already in that shape, and there you go. 

You cant have that collapse in Washington so have this one instead. This one is  planned, prepared, photographed from two angles. Not an accident, but weird.

Take care when you fall.
