15 Structure Demolitions GONE WRONG 

I personally would be more worried after seeing that if I lived in any of the surrounding buildings and wonder if the same company made mine.

Man!!! I immediately ran to the comments after the Miami building.

I know! Sure got my attention fast. That must have been terrifying to witness. I wonder how many of those big Miami beach condo buildings are barely-standing deathtraps.

@@denverdubois5835 I'm sure there's a few ticking time bombs. I just really hope all this has opened their eyes to what such neglect could do. Unfortunately they wouldn't look at the people deceased from their neglect as the most important factor. It would be the possible loss of income they wouldn't be making if the building collapsed as well for their reputation. A damn shame this happened in such a modern age.. Not because of mother nature or a freak accident; rather neglect/greed. Something that could have been prevented if they looked at human life (customers life) as the most valuable thing. No, they're only $$$ signs until their neglect/greed catches up with them. Value money over human life is the motto.

Agreed, I thought of the same immediately when the presenter mentioned that the condo collapsed unexpectedly since the structure was weaker than expected, the implication being that it had such critically minimal structural margin left that normal pre-weakening and drilling for the explosives left it unable to bear its own dead load - so it's possible that in ten years time or whatever it might have collapsed on its own had it been left standing and occupied.

Wow that is crazy

Which is great if you're rich and privileged enough to own a house!

I saw something like that after a heavy rain

Like many people lose power for a few hours after a big event but I lose power from fire on my line in winter

a tree is stronger than a chimney stack

Right?!

Lol

I know right

😬

Avoid condos in general...condos suck Dick.cant do shit with them... It's like buying a piece of road and thinking you can do something with it

That footage was awful... I feel so bad for him...

The fact that only one person died though... Could have been way worse. May or may not have been that person.

The other guy next to him in the crane basket survived as the building collapsed under him and he was hanging in the basket.

They cut supports one by one instead of cutting leaving some behind, that made structure very unbalanced (one side had all supports and other had none) so the roof fell, and because it was very heavy it also made enough force to take down the wall. Tragic event caused not by mistake but sheer stupidity.

5:01 .. terrible also for the man in the basket. what a nightmare to see!

i'd be terrified

@@user-pb3jj5vw6e I'd*

@@i.dle.k i dont need to have perfect grammar but thx anyways lol

@@user-pb3jj5vw6e yea yea lol

There wouldn't have been a soul in that apartment. They would have been evacuated long before the blast.

:(

I saw it too.

Language

And he almost made it, sad.

Any info if hes the one that died? or if he made it?

It's called clickbait. Welcome to RU-vid.

Welcome to clickbait world!

Ok?

Nice that you caught that too. I lived just a few blocks away from that building, although didn’t move there until the year following the earthquake.

I have a feeling he was the 1 guy who didn't make it. He never got into the basket, the guy who lifts away from the dome was already in the basket.

He didn't make it.

that was really hard to watch ...i though the made it until i reminded it and seen that there was already someone in there.

Holy shit, I didn’t see there were 2 dudes. Man, guy in the basket definitely is going to have emotional issues from that one, watching ya mate try make it in time and not. Shit.

Yeah that guy went down with the structure, his coworker was already in the cage.

Yeah....he didnt make that.

Ya, just 3 morr seconds, he might have gotten a better grip☹ R.I.P

I didn't notice the first time around, until I slowed it down... holy carp... that poor guy in his last moments trying to scramble to that cage lift....

@@Nakira2000 from another commenter with more info on this: "If you go to Fontanka Ru channel, you'll find several videos of this day. The guy was first tied to the cage, but the rope it was too short. He was told then to go without the harness. There is even a video (go pro camera on his partner helmet) where they are talking about going without the rope." The full video without specific frames clipped out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--NTDncv0udQ.html

@@worlwr2 so unfortunate for that guy, he should have never overlooked safety.

Exactly 👍

yeah

If it's the same one I watched before I heard that people's pets were still in there

Don't they know that fire works better than explosives? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LJPuWy9utss.html

Ok

i dont remeber asking

@@bradentheman1373 bro remember* and nobody asked for ur opinion

Crimea is not Russia and the annexation was and is against international law. Do not sterilize the history of Crimea by acting as if Russia has "jurisdiction". That is spreading Russian disinformation and lies. Crimea is Ukraine.

@@Potato_WoT The narrator is the same as the one from Simple History.

I find it irritating.

@@Potato_WoT mmm l

Good ear! I love narrating this type of content. 😊

@@eclecticjon1019 Especially when he can't pronounce Dalhousie, New Brunswick correctly, the town in N.B., its university, and port Dalhousie in Ontario are all pronounced Dal-HOW-sie!

Oh yeah! That's such a cute observation!

Maybe it’s a combination of many things

Exactly what i thought! I was in Taiwan too when that earthquake happened!!

Thank you for letting people know this. Its really disrespectful to the people that died, and also clickbaity.

Tofu dreg building. May as well be the same 🤷‍♀️

So ??? Differ kutta

It’s been 10 months and this video owner still hasn’t changed it.

dude i kept watching that part to actually figure out what happened, he had to have been one of the fatalities.

@@jakerogers6366 So damn close to making it onto the lift

It really do

No kidding

Why?

You're not kidding. RIP lost souls.

I ask again, why?

poor worker :( .

I couldn't tell, did he make it??

@@brickitect420 no he didn't make

Nice catch. I totally didn't see that. That's horrible. Rest In Peace sir.

Imagine being the guy on the cage forever replaying that day of his coworker running for his life only to fall short and long.

Edit: Looks like did not make it :( There was someone already in the cage. Original: He made it, you can see him grab on! Dude, that guy went into overdrive mode, when the collapse started, you can see his adrenaline kick in, he doesn't stumble, and jumps at the last second. Talk about lucky!

Ther only just now getting to that???

Call the military... They're the ones who turned 7 skyscrapers into baby powder in New York back in 2001.

They used a scene from war of the world when talking about the Canadian power plant lol

stock powers the media universe, WTF else would you do? Decent production, learned stuff.

@@johnwebb4869 well, I would have been happier if they actually showed the destructions they are talking about (more). I don’t need to see stock footage from people pointing at plans ten times in a row.

@@benn.i true

Damn….I missed that the first time. That is just brutal….he was so close to the basket.

Everyone says that I am first then I am second 😂.

lol

I'm last

Dude no doubt. I never would of heard that without reading your comment. Ha

That's absolutely crazy that as I was reading your comment my mind just heard Charlie's voice clear as day. Is this really him? I doubt it but it sure does sound like him.

In some cases the explosion site is sprayed heavily with water to stop a possible spread of asbestos. Not sure about the US but here all the alarms go off of they find it before demolishing it (blowing up buildings is reasonably uncommon here because the structures in The Netherlands are usually not big enough to do so, but also in the way of to much other buildings to do it reasonably cheaply. We did however try it with a quay somewhere, and screwed it up by using to much explosives, shattering windows and in a couple of cases cracking walls :P

Led me to think

Not everyone needs to work and eat. Jack doesn't. Rose didn't save him. She decided to not share the enormous door she was on and he slipped under the water not even attempting to swim. Rose is worse than Carole Baskin.

Were they not wearing masks anyway? Would that not be better lol?

@ׄlife. It has to do with life.

@Bryson Gamblin yes I watched the clip again, heart breaking!😪

he was probably fine because he was on top, bigger problem for the people inside. also they would not show it if one of the visibel died most likely.

...it's an animation. That was probably meant to show the person who died.

Osha

@@deez5595 I don’t think someone’s gonna copy a comment trying to make it obvious about something..

Move to Canada, you'll have no problem living here.

Rip.. so sad :(

We don't know for certain he's the one who died. I mean, I'd be surprised if he survived but remember they said only one worker died and there were workers INSIDE the structure when it collapsed. He may be one of the guys who lived.

It reminded me of one of the jumps in Tomb Raider or the Uncharted series.

And nobody gives a shit.

Where is "here" ?

regardless of what you think, abatements are done, contaminants removed, firetrucks wet it all down and then machines can rip at it if possible. That is common procedure... Demo company i know never uses explosives, they pull out the supports after damaging the structure

Strangely they're not using jet fuel to take buildings down. 😉#9/11

Is he still fine

They should have said “no thanks”. If they took the job knowing they’d have to cut corners to meet the deadline, then they’re at fault.

@@asterix7842 it's been abandoned forever also and they had to rush to get it ready for the day it was set. Move the viewing part back I'm sure the people can wait a few more days.

Ironic cos I use to live In a Pontiac

Is it just me or does the narrator almost eerily sound like Charlie Sheen?

Thanks for the correction.

Thousands of years? The dark ages weren't even thousands of years ago.

@@SerErryk When do you think the "dark ages" were?

so you s*ck at math?

The old buildings that didn't last...didn't last

I was living in Chicago at the time and STILL didn't hear about it. Lol that's Chicago for you though. It's ironic you live in Benton Harbor too. I moved my business from Chicago to Benton Harbor about a year or so ago, and I live in Coloma right near by. Benton Harbor is so much better than Chicago 👍

@@blackhawks81H yes I would have to agree.

I’m with u, this guys talks to much

The unrelated cheesy stock footage is not a good choice of illustrating the story.

You guys know you can just get other videos of just destruction compilations

@@felixspaghetti2611 I agree, much more interesting to have some additional information about what is being shown.

That’s freakish. Should have been a sign and followed up on. ☹️

Yeah, but man was it an eyesore for a long ass time....

Top comment material right here. It's sad when not one, but TWO skyscrapers come down perfectly inside its own footprint, at near free fall speed but if you dare question anything you get the "conspiracy theorist" label. Can't have you being taken seriously or anything crazy like that!

Especially tower 7

@@brooklynyte I agree. Honestly looking back at that day it makes me wonder how stupid we citizens really are under the government's powers. And now they have us believing that covid-19 really exist this is just another operation for us to believe something they tell us. The end result is to inject poison into our blood so we get vaccinated

HELP

Well it's not uncommon to spray the demolition site with a water curtain to make sure the particles will get rained down to the ground as fast as possible.
