Grain Bin Collapse in Illinois

Dramatic video shows people running away as a concrete grain bin full of soybeans collapsed in Martinton, Illinois.

The collapse, which occurred on Wednesday, brought down power lines and sent sparks flying. Emergency crews had just cleared the area after a crack in the structure was spotted in Iroquois County.

No one was hurt, but dozens of homes were left without power, officials said. The entire power line system must be rebuilt, and there is no timeline yet for when electricity will be restored.
