Finally, a thumbnail that wasn't clickbait or make me wait.
Thank you sir.

Gotta love how the engineers made the claw look like a dragon head. Looks like a steam punk dragon tearing a building apart. Awesome.

Somewhere there's a mechanical contractor who's saying "thank god I don't have to work on that POS anymore".

Whoever is running that thing is an artist! Moved ammo for a living way back. Thanks, enjoyed your vid.

I'm an HVAC commercial engineer and I truly enjoyed this video. I wish that I was the demolition equipment operator.

Glad to see that it looks like most of those units had the refrigerant removed ahead of time :)

What a dream job. Sitting in an ice cold cab destroying shit all day.

All the work that went into building these buildings, there's something special a certain feeling one gets by watching th being demolished. I myself moved away from the big city and now live in a country town but even now there's way too many houses being built and too many people moving here. I need to movie further inland here in Australia 😭😭

"And here we see the stegosauratron gorging on (what looks to be) ventilation units, its favorite snack, as two curious human males watch on while guarding their tower from predators."

The RCA building was an iconic part of the Rosslyn skyline. I remember it from my childhood being so imposing and modern. Years later - would they save it? No. The demand to extract as much money as possible has Arlington re-making itself much the same as Las Vegas. But there's a reason - The views of D.C. from there are absolutely spectacular! With that, I still remain hopeful that they will spare the original Rosslyn Marriott. It was one of the first J.W. Marriott hotels and I believe was built on the land where the original Hot Shoppes was. From the original Watergate clandestine parking garage to the Marriott and Orleans House, that part of Arlington has a very rich history. I am glad to have been to all those places when they were active.

Couldn’t those chillers be resold? It’s nuts to think that those units were working at one point and now they are being man handled by a crane because the building is being demo’ed….

Teacher: Billy's father.. what do you do for a living?

Billy's father: I tear apart buildings.

My company deals with ventilation and air conditioning systems 😢
This is such a lot of work and knowledge!

This video combines the satisfying event of building demolition with the unsatisfying event of air conditioning systems of various sizes and complexity destruction. I love it.

HVAC is the most valuable peice of scrap on a building that’s why they tear to out and save it for scrapping
