Once the explosives were set alight, the silo did indeed begin to crumble as planned. However, the structure fell in a different direction than anticipated.
Footage shows the silo falling on a nearby cultural centre and library. Staff from the library say aside from dust on the books, there is little structural damage to the building.
No one was injured during the incident.
An investigation into the cause of the explosive failure is ongoing.
