WOW Demolition 1,000 feet up. Gotta see this! 

I agree. I do small demolition jobs and every day I can't believe I get paid to have fun tearing stuff up.

I don't know. I had to work with some real assholes during my 30 years in demolition. But for the most part it was good. Interesting video.

But are you occasionally tempted to demolish something you should not when working in demolition…?

I just got laid off from 11 years of scrap work by the worst company owner i know. Best day of my life in the past 4 years.

Isn't that Canadian Tire still there? It says its open and reviews are still being posted. Am I getting it confused with another? I get kind of sad or more accurately sentimental when buildings are demolished. It's quite intriguing how fast structures can be completely dismantled while they took ages to design and build and many years of use and events. Its interesting to see how others feel about it, including someone in the industry like yourself.

I met my wife in Montreal in 2004 and one of the high rise hotels had a revolving restaurant at the top. Awesome.

@@bruceg.6282 Nice. . Googled. Portus 360. Met my wife at CN Tower 360 in 2002 , she was a head hostess back in the day. Eloped to las vegas 2006 and had our 2 person reception at..... none other than Top of the World revolving restaurant. Expensive. Who wants to pay to eat at a revolving restaurant especially when you work at one. Jokes aside it was Amazing. Side note we're no longer together. Doesn't mean revolving restaurants are cursed.

Where did the time go? LOL

@@arricammarques1955 My thoughts exactly

No I fell for it too

same here

Click bait so good I fell for it. Still interesting.

Me two

Made You Click!!! Yep me too!!

For what reason??, they got paid, that is all the company need do, the age of greed is upon us, people are never satisfied, if you dont like your job go get another that makes you happy.

Canadian, we're too stupid to support our own, it seems.

I see it as an advertising channel aimed at construction companies.

Canadians are not so nice after all eh

pretty much zero chance of falling through, even if you somehow got past the first layer the second would stop you. been up there many times.

My wife refused to walk on the glass floor, but it didn't bother me though.

@@James_Knott I remember as a kid my mom had to push me onto it, I did the same thing to my partner last year and it was hilarious.

thats gonna be exspensive project and hopefuly there budget be enough lol

Pity them? How much work in riding up and down instead of working nonstop on a sing story gut out? A guy could get fat quick working 15 minutes then go for a ride down and back up for 30 minutes. It wouldn’t surprise me if they loaded the elevator then step off and get the next load ready. While someone on the street level empties their cart and returns it to the elevator.

That's funny. You would be surprised how riding an elevator constantly can mess with your equilibrium. We did a library project where we were moving books from 4 upper floors into a compact storage facility in a sub-basement. To facilitate efficiency and make use of staff who could not perform physical tasks for long stretches we had elevator operators who kept the automated operators from being a problem. We soon learned that most people could not ride elevators for more than 2 hours without suffering dizziness and loss of balance. Even after walking out of the car they would have problems for a half an hour. As lead on the project I insisted on doing all of the tasks and learned first hand what this was like - and this was just run lengths of 6-9 floors. I don't know how people managed in the age of manual operation. I had a cousin who was an elevator operator, but they had to let him go - he couldn't learn the route. (sorry, couldn't resist.)

"constantly listening to "The Girl from Ipanema" each trip." That's cruel and unusual punishment!

I guess they're not touching the other 2 levels in the main pod. There are also the microwave and broadcast levels. I have worked on the microwave level a few times and only 1 of the 3 elevators stops there. When I went there I had to sign in at the security desk, which was downstairs, below the main concourse, and when I wanted to leave I'd take the stairs up to the observation level where all 3 elevators were available. Otherwise I could have a long wait.

the floor window is dope!! people are like little tiny ants below you

It's okay Thomas we don't need you here!!!

if it was unsafe it wouldn't be there thomas

@Nick Brock: Understood. I just don't enjoy it, whether or not it's safe.

@@thomasstambaugh5181 I'm with you. It messes with you depth perception and give you the feeling that you could just walk off the edge. Not a good feeling for someone with vertigo.

Sky pod has an amazing view of the GTA

@@arricammarques1955 The Greater Toronto Area? I love that game!

@@punchline43 Gentrified city!

My work occasionally took me to the microwave level, which was behind that white "donut", below the main observation level.

I saw the concrete tower going up in the summer of 1974, as I drove by it every morning and evening on my commute to Sheridan Park. Years later I met the fellow who designed the construction hoist for that project.

the rogers centre was not under construction then. the skydome was. it will always be the skydome. f that roger guy

When the tower was built, the entire area on the south side of Front, west of Simcoe, was one huge parking lot.

I'm glad that you are honest that speed and cost come before safety.

@@epistte Nah, that's just an industry joke...We are ALWAYS more conscience of safety...It's the smart way to operate...Accidents cost money, down time, manpower, client dissatisfaction as well as you can get in legal trouble which nobody wants...Only idiots work unsafely and we know there's no more of those types around anymore... ~eye roll~...:)...

@@godbluffvdgg I'm also aware because I am a mechanical engineer. I thought that your quip was funny.

@@epistte Really high tech job. Just smash it all up and skip it!

@@PreservationEnthusiast You need to have your wits about you so you don't damage something else in the process and that everyone goes home at night.

I'm with you on that! For the same reason I would not go bungee jumping or sky diving. For similar reasons I dislike new bridges.

Anthony esporas Dear Anthony, Believe me, there are a number of things I’ve done that do not qualify as good living, but I thank you for your kind words! My advice is that you live your live with an eye on the future, when you look back over your life, and not ‘regret’ some unbecoming word or action! May God bless you!!!

@@shygaifu3592 Hes not a boomer hes 89, leave him alone. Good on him for keeping in touch with new technology. People like you ruin the meme.

Kero Thank you for your reply to Anthony! At my age, it will take more than a slight jab to upset me!

@@davidsolomon8203 I don't know what to say except for sorry.

@@shygaifu3592 Thank you, for not justifying yourself! May God bless you- from my heart!!!

That must have been on the old airdrome 👍🏼

@@stusmith1074 yes it was, used to also build scammel lorry cabs, six wheel landrover fire engines and bouys for trinity lighthouse..also urinals lol

@@stofffpv3128 you made some interesting stuff there, it must have been in the 80's? My late mother worked there in 1960 she was in admin think it was to do with a company that serviced aircraft, I notice on one of her letters to my late father she put Wymeswold Aerodrome which is apparently the Commonwealth spelling, Airdrome is apparently American spelling.

The height isn't the problem - it's the sudden stop when you get to ground zero!

@@royfearn4345 True.

In other words when the USA govt isn’t involved

Yes because we all know high angle heavy demolition is best accomplished by baristas and produce stockers

canadians sometimes not get stuff done too

Try walking on the Grand Canyon Skywalk, 4,000 up from the Colorado River!!!

Same here Bro. Same here. No amount of money in the world could get me to do this. These guys must be superhuman or something. Nerves of steel. Absolutely, nerves of steel. My Best. Out.

Me neither. I get dizzy just wearing my wife's high heels on Saturday night...no, wait. Skip that.

Marston Davis Lol.

They built another tower next to it and took them over to the other side by a gang of trapeze artists

@@lancemc1977 Same with all the old concrete,they dug a big hole and buried it.

One of my uncles, worked up there, installing the antenna all the way up. It was carried up there with an helicopter. That uncle, died installing his winter tires on his car, heart attac :( ...

I used to work for CN Telecommunications, in the old Toronto Stock Exchange. I'd go up to the observation level of the TD Centre to watch the helicoptors. As a CN employee, I got a free pass when it opened and have been up several times years later with my work. Of all the times I went up, I only had to pay once, when I went up with my wife and her cousin. I also watched the work on the Skydome (Rogers Centre), when I was working in the CN Telecom building at 151 Front St. W, which was a block away and there were no other buildings in between.

@@James_Knott Nice! lucky you!. I went up in the tower 5 times over the years, 4 during the day and once at night! I looove going up there!. Seeing the tower flex (but you can't feel it), when it's windy :)...

@@ronbradshaw7404 At the 1500 foot level, that's the little bulb just below the antenna stack, you can feel the swaying of the tower. Stand at a foot or so way from the railing with your feet together, and place one finger on the railing. You can definitely feel the tower move below you.

When did they Say that?

@@SlowedByMaple 2:06

I think there would be a shit ton of people pissed about seeing a dump chute all the way down the side of the CNN tower lol, would be very visible.

Lol whoops, went too far, now there's a hole out the bottom!

Ground level must be fine but I see your point 400 feet up.

400 feet!!!!! Try 1440 feet.....

John Kepa Skypod is higher than the observation deck.

It's not 342 meters either. This is the United States. It's 374 yards, or 1122 feet. As Abe Simpson aptly said, "The metric system is the tool of the devil. My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead, and that's the way I likes it!" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z5-s-4KPtD8.html

@@ClayLoomis1958 Uh.... Last I knew, Toronto is in Canada. As I text this in Michigan, it's 68 degrees outside. Across the river, in Windsor, it's only 20!

@daAnder71 An extremely cold winter that hasn't happened yet. Detroit's absolute minimum in the last 100 years is -24°F, or -29.4°C.

Yeah but how much is that in dog years ?
