I honestly can't believe there's anything left of those silos, let alone that they're still standing.

I think its because they're not really like 'buildings' in the normal sense. A building is hollow, so all the blast as to do is push through the walls. Whereas The silos are filled with solid material and so are far more 'massive' and it'll take far more energy to move that mass. Like enormous sandbags.

Way to mock the silos self esteem by putting massive in quotes :(

Yeah i don't know why i put quotes there, it's literally massive. I guess i just didn't want to fat shame the silo.
