OGDEN, Utah — It took only minutes Saturday morning to bring down two iconic structures that have long stood tall on the Ogden landscape.
In separate explosions, the Farmers Grain Co-Op grain elevators were both felled to create space for new development in the city.
The implosion process began just before 8 a.m., with police closing down nearby roads. After the first elevator went down, the second was demolished about an hour later.
Video below shows implosions from cameras inside Jerry's Plumbing Specialties:

Demolition of the two towers on land owned by the Utah Central Railways began in mid-February.
The grain elevators were part of Ogden's past that catered more to its agricultural past.
