| Don Webber posted times up...Champaign County. Il. Brad LaPayne: If it's that strong to hold up while being tipped over, there must be a lot of damn good lumber in it! Probably enough to build a house! Danny Frye: The reason it stays together like that is the way the wooden bins are constructed. The planks laid horizontal, not vertical, in layers (like bricks) to form the bin box. The structure is then covered in metal to protect is from the weather. Jerry Walch: What year did the demolition happen? Don Webber: 2011 |

| Don Webber commented on his post and it made it to the ground intact...then |
That old elevator is not the only thing that got torn down. A current satellite image shows that all of the bins are also gone.
