When the demo crew is paid by the hour not the job!

Im surprised the crane doesn't fall apart before the building is knocked down this must put a lot of stress on the framework of the crane .

The more I use heavy machinery the more I see how crazy-dangerous this method is for demolishing a building.

Had no idea these contraptions were still being used in demolition…crazy!

[amandahiya]

Oh the patience required for this! and to watch to but its so mesmerizing somehow.

[kaystephan]

The wrecking ball is much smaller than expected

[cruzanmongoose]

One this is for sure whoever built that building didn't skimp on the rebar

Not only the demolition process is painfully slow, you must also salvage the wrecking ball sometimes too. 😆

"They say he's still out there swinging to this day"😅

This seems like a job where no matter how long you've been at it, it looks like you don't know what you are doing.
It also looks like a job where no matter how new you are at it, it looks like you do know what you are doing!

A Hitachi crane in Germany? Blasphemy!

[vinnienowhere]

These European buildings make the American ones look like they’re made with paper mache.

[Silverado]

Anyone else think they could use a bigger wrecking ball?

[screwsnutsandbolts]

Great footage, I could watch this all day ! 😁

[brucemartini]

if this was hours long, i'd watch whole building come down

[mindyschocolate]

Controlled demolition with explosives would have had that down in seconds

[dodge]

I always thought it would be more satisfying to watch... But it takes forever to actually make stuff fall :D

[alanculbert]

Time consuming, but we know that the wrecking ball will win in the end

[travisnull]

Nice catch on the wrecking ball recovery! I’m pretty sure that would be frowned upon here.

At this rate it will take longer to tear it down than it took to build it.
