11 years too late I know. As an 8 year old at the time, being the curious little devil as I was, was constantly on UA-cam scrolling through every building demolition video there was to know. The moment I came across this video was like finding a pot of Gold. Every time I watch this video, it’s like I’m reliving my childhood. 11 years on and this is still a pleasure to watch. Greetings from Scotland 🏴
5:47 Is The Travelers Building The 451,000 square foot, 18-story, structural steel Traveler's Insurance Building blocked development of a valuable property in Boston's financial district. Controlled Demolition Incorporated’s team was able to complete asbestos abatement/environmental remediation, prepare the structure for implosion and drop the massive structural steel building just 2 weeks after our client's last employee vacated the premises. Controlled Demolition Incorporated's DREXS (Directional Remote Explosive Severance) System sequentially severed the 4 inch thick flanges of the buildings' support columns to drop the structure without damage to a Boston Fire Department facility just 30 feet away. The 60,000 cubic yards of debris generated by the implosion of this downtown office complex was so well fragmented that it was cleared from the site in just 6 weeks.
6:02 The Biltmore Hotel in OKC. I have looked for video of this. I was there in 77 when it came down. At the time it was the tallest building imploded.
I remember very well the old Traymore Hotel in Atlantic City (at 0:42 on the video). That was a BEAUTIFUL building; inside and out. I wish they could have saved it. We have so few buildings from the time just before and just after the turn of the last century. They sure don't build them like that anymore. Instead, we get steel & glass boxes with no character, for the most part.
@@TexasRailfan2008 You will be pleased to know that a very similar former Sears Merchandise Warehouse is still standing in Atlanta, GA. Its interior has been renovated, but the exterior is untouched. It's now Ponce City Market.
The Dunes Hotel and Casino was imploded in October 1993 to make way for the Bellagio, but I think they demolished it for a spectacular show for the opening of Treasure Island (at least I think that's what happened)
WOW! Amazing how they all those buildings no matter what size managed to collapse within the set boundry like that. Great skills and knowledge put to work. Totally Amazing - Out of This World Towers fall like a deck of cards.
i was mesmerized when i saw buildings being imploded for the first time on a littile platform called tubi on a 1-hour movie called Demolition and Destruction. immediately after i was just watching this on repeat. 7 years on and im still mesmerized
Demolish a perfectly good building (first one in this clip), which has nice architectural detailing.....and replace it with a bland glass and steel building. Progress or Regression? I'm going with the former. Unless that building had asbestos in it there was no need to demolish it
WOW ! I wish CERA had the wisdom to bring you here for the demo of our city. we have almost 800 buildings in Christchurch that have to go and some going like this would have been stunning.
The full videos of the job are great... been binge watching after work.. the Hurricane proof buildings are always an interesting watch.. thanks for posting!

You know, your childhood time on YT isn’t far off.
I have the exact same experience bud.
Exactly the same here. Around 500 views of this video is probably from 5 year old me on my dad's old old old laptop lol
Lol same, I saw this video somewhere close to when it was posted...
same

wow, can you tell me what that building was like
At 1977 wow
how is this demolition called 0:19
hotel cosmopolitan, denver, 1984
how is this demolition called 9:17
Will there be a part two some time? Absolutely admire the engineering feats that this family and company has achieved so far. Greetings from Germany.
I forgot there were two real implosions used in Lethal Weapon 3!
8:21 and 9:04

Funny. The implosion @ 8:23 was superimposed into the final scene in Lethal Weapon 3.
7:39-9:00 what song
as strange as this sounds, but this is some kind of art. great work, guys!
Watching this is like watching a beautifully choreographed dance, truly the Art of Demolition
Thank you so much!
7:42 N U K E
@7:44, the scene from Enemy of The State with Will Smith/Gene Hackman.
"what the hell is happening?"
"I blew up the building!"
"why!?"
"because you made a phone call!"
This is one channel I always binge every time a new demolition job is posted, amazing work.
1:09 Parkersburg - Belpre Bridge (the old one)
6:22 Sears Merchandise Warehouse - Philadelphia, Pa
Shame they had to demolish it!

There is something beautiful in watching, in effect, a solid building turn to liquid.
the first one is the Hotel Cosmopolitan, Denver, 1984
Thanks 💋❤️
What the second one
Tbh I feel like the bridge hitting the water makes the same sound as the music at 1:29 lol
Please write to me who is the author (Performer) of the melody and the name of the track that starts at 9:17 minutes? Please!
From Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, it seems like my hometown has been a regular stop for you guys.
Please, give links to the source videos
Love the gentle elevator music as buildings fall
Thanks to the cdi company ,that this amazing film
Dunes North Tower Hotel & Casino Las Vegas 8:38
Why do some buildings have a large fireball ?
Why not?
8:22 Guy decided to have breakfast somewhere else...
6:28 George P. Murphy Homes - Baltimore, MD
The murder homes
Good video; it is worthy of having the word "art" in the title. Really good shots!
The implosion a 8:48 looks different than all the rest. Is the plan to use fire to bring it down
or am I missing something?
no, it was the first hotel implosion in Las Vegas and I guess they wanted it to look spectacular or something
The Dunes Hotel and Casino was imploded in October 1993 to make way for the Bellagio, but I think they demolished it for a spectacular show for the opening of Treasure Island (at least I think that's what happened)
Beautiful!!! The Loiseaux Collection... Deconstructionist Artworks of Distinction!!! Thanx for sharing your performance art... Thanx! ✌️😎👍
Thank you so much! Thank you so much for watching!
7:42
Looks like a movie scene wher the factory ruptures like a sort of nuclear bomb inside it
I think that is a movie scene but idk what movie
The movie is Enemy of the State
how is this demolition called 5:10
how is this demolition called 5:07
This is so incredible, it looks like something you would see in Saturday morning cartoons. But here it’s as real as it gets, truly amazing!
BOOM
7:44 are they filming a movie scene
WOW! Amazing how they all those buildings no matter what size managed to collapse within the set boundry like that. Great skills and knowledge put to work. Totally Amazing - Out of This World Towers fall like a deck of cards.
The segment of the video between 1:05 and 2:36 is truly legendary.
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
Mankind has always loved his buildings. But what happens when the buildings say “No more”??
Will you guys PLEASE get that bridge out of Baltimore Harbor? PLEASE!

Where were these guys when we were trying to take out the Vinh River Bridge?

Yes, it's a shame to see some of them demolished 😢
If you think about it, most of these buildings were demolished at an age that people at the time didn’t consider “historic”

And 1:20 too
the building in 2:39 is now toast
Walker Melissa Thompson Sarah Martinez Sarah
And 1:34
WOW ! I wish CERA had the wisdom to bring you here for the demo of our city. we have almost 800 buildings in Christchurch that have to go and some going like this would have been stunning.

7:42 A TRAIN?!
Yep
Very nice work. Awesome vid!
7:06 sledge hammer! Ep 1 brought me here
Mark is Muppet or should I say Puppet
My one request for this video would be to provide sub - titles that show where these demolitions took place.
Do you know the song name for the first 60 seconds by any chance, admin?
epic!
The full videos of the job are great... been binge watching after work.. the Hurricane proof buildings are always an interesting watch.. thanks for posting!

2:11 what demolition is that?
Mckenna Trafficway
Does anyone know anything about the building at 0:53? Im not sure why it just really intrigued me
That building was damaged by the 1985 Mexico City Earthquake. I may be wrong but I found that in an online list of their implosions

Oh my!

5:51 that building had a huge graphics card on the roof!
They had to use a graphics card, otherwise it would have looked like shit.
how many implosions do you do in a typical year
