I cannot describe in words the feelings I get watching these controlled explosive demolitions. It is almost like watching a choreographed super show. Thank you for giving us this pleasure.
13:06 That is the Landmark Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was demolished on the 7th of November, 1995. During the making of Mars Attacks, the real implosion of the Landmark Hotel was used, making it one of the only few movies to have a real life demolition. Currently standing in the Landmark Hotel’s place is the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Atlanta had lost their old sporting venues in those implosions: The Omni Coliseum and the Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium in 1997 And the Georgia Dome in 2017 The Atlanta Hawks now play at State Farm Arena, and the Braves now play at the brand new Truist Park in the Battery District in Cobb County
I love this video it reminds of the older compilations I used to watch as a kid back in 2007-2010 also thanks for not using the same implosionworld 2003 compilation in this I hate it when people do that.
Yeah I know. I upload random content - from EAS scenarios to making trump pass gas. I don't post very often though. A lot of these small youtubers who used to post back in the day have been overtaken by spoiled brats like Mr Beast. Don't even get me started on any more of them.
reminds me of the time i had a 5 course curry meal and 8 pints of guiness, watching these excellent videos made me realize just how my toilet felt the day after.
Think of all the workers who worked building these structures and how long it took to build them, and it all comes down in seconds ( after the explosives are loaded and arranged in just the right way ) LOL
It is incredible that from the wrecking ball ⚫, which was used not so no long ago (and I'm sure it's still used today in some instances) professional journal able to implode buildings pretty much exactly how they want to them to fall down
Some of these buildings in the video were in the Atlanta area. I added those in because it is a reference to where my family is from (the Fitzhughs, my ancestors, were not natives of Georgia) but a lot of my relatives, like my mom and my grandma were born there.
The one at 6:45 was off of N Druid Hills. I know this because I had a weird grave yard shift job that I’d worked on weekends that was there. It was on a Sunday morning, the sun was rising, the birds were chirping. I got of work, took a breath of fresh air and looked around and noticed a bunch of people standing on the sidewalk just looking up and out. Then the booms which scared the crap out me. I had no clue, what I had just walked out into for a couple of seconds. If it wasn’t for people cheering, I seriously would have lost it. I remembered laughing thinking “Why do people cheer at a building being demolished??” and Atlanta is Altlantaing again. When I say not a clue I mean not a clue. Atlanta is a magical place, it allows you to laugh at some really stupid shit…funny yet still stupid.
That's what is crazy to me about structuring the whole world around money. The man hours removing and recycling the glass and multitude of other materials here destroyed by demo are rendered not worth it in terms of money.
Some glass can’t be recycled because it would need ultra high temperature to melt it. That’s why only bottles and jars are accepted in domestic recycling.
I hate to see residential buildings imploded. What would be wrong with turning SOME of them, anyway, into homeless shelters? I mean, at least get them out of the weather!
I totally get what you're saying, but I doubt the time involved to safely remove each pane would make it cost effective. Still a shame to waste them though.
The one at 11:00 looks like it was a movie being filmed taking advantage of the implosion. Gasoline for color. No demo crew would leave explosives other than what they bring to leave laying around explode like that. That had to have been controlled.
@@CoasterMan13Official I think you hit the nail on the head. I found the clip and it looks the same, just from a different angle. Good eye, and memory!!
All of those water nozzles don't seem to accomplish much, in the way of dust abatement. The sounds of the charges firing reminds me of a full-force drums tattoo masterfully done by the late John Bonham, or the artillery barrage in the opening sequence in the old TV show "Combat!". All the structures turn to rubber or putty. When the sun's shining on an all-glass facade, the building sparkles like diamonds as they come down.
@@CoasterMan13Official "The technique involves the firing of precisely placed demolition charges in specific timed intervals that use gravity to cause the center of the building to fall vertically while simultaneously pulling the sides inward, a process often erroneously described as an implosion".
Amazing how the ancients built mega structures that have stood without maintenance for centuries. We build mega sports parks today that are often replaced every 30 to 40 years. But we let bridges stand for over 100 years. The aliens came back but their detectors showed no intelligent life form on the planet and those darn pesky monkeys mutiplied and were still messing everything up! Lol
One of these events took place in the USA, to cover up a group of people somehow stealing no sorry losing nearly 3 trillion dollars, and the silly demolition guys didn't wait until the innocent people trying to find all that money had evacuated, unless of course they didn't know, then the blame could be put on an airliner, being piloted by an untrained man, with zero hours flying time, pulling off a manoeuvre of near impossibility, that controlled demolition spectacular happened in two cities hours apart and doesn't even get an honourable mention, weird that.
I hope you guys enjoyed this video! It took me a while to find these and compile them, which explains the playlist.
Love it. No dumb music, no stupid commentary. Just perfect.

so how long did it take to build these places

Yah there's not much worse than watching re-Demolition vids
Perfect collection of perfect demos

Uh, thanks.

What kind of neanderthal has Guinness with curry😂
@@stephenwalls9277 IDK, but you most certainly wouldn't want to be standing down wind from him!
If his curry involved button mushroom vindaloo, I wouldn't want to be in the same county🤣

13:05 the landmark
I love the one bang ones
Wow implosions are so cool to watch
11:41 what stadium is this being imploded
Atlanta Fulton County Stadium.
More great examples of why CDI is the best there is when it comes to implosions.
Orlando City Hall implosion was that the one used in Lethal Weapon 3 ?
Think of all the workers who worked building these structures and how long it took to build them, and it all comes down in seconds ( after the explosives are loaded and arranged in just the right way ) LOL
What is that in building? 2:53 3:04
It's a motel.
It’s Ramada Inn
0:51 what is that?
Edgewood Hospital.
Implosion taking over my algorithms😅😅
Hey, that first one was the hospital where I was born!
Interesting.
7:43
finally a compilation that doesn't use footage from that implosionworld compilation 🤣
It is incredible that from the wrecking ball ⚫, which was used not so no long ago (and I'm sure it's still used today in some instances) professional journal able to implode buildings pretty much exactly how they want to them to fall down
Captain Obvious was running commentary in many of these demolitions.
What are you talking about?
Some of those are older buildings. Do they ever check to see how much asbestos might be in all that dust flying around?
Exactly what I was thinking.
😷
They’re cleared of asbestos during the prep work. The internals are literally stripped to the bare structure.
the building at 0:33 looks like the Hawkins lab facility from stranger things
Yeah I know. I wonder if that building was where they got the idea for the design of the lab in the series.
@@CoasterMan13Official could be but you can only imagine where they got it
Great vid nice work

Atlanta sure had done a lot of implosions in their time

I always think its a shame that the glass isnt taken off these buildings to be recycled or reused somewhere .. good video!
Yeah I know. It's crazy.

Demolishing older buildings I get, but wasting all those re-usable panes of glass, seems to be pretty dumb to me.
I totally get what you're saying, but I doubt the time involved to safely remove each pane would make it cost effective. Still a shame to waste them though.
Gee.....what a surprise that gravity still works!
DOING WHAT WE DO BEST
You could say that again!

I believe that building was destroyed in the Grab The Cat scene from Lethal Weapon.
@@CoasterMan13Official I think you hit the nail on the head. I found the clip and it looks the same, just from a different angle. Good eye, and memory!!
Looks really controlled - next up they manage to blow thinks up which hops up in waste container at the same time

I would love to be able to push the button for Madison square garden revenge for tearing down Penn station
. I know EXACTLY what you are talking about. Most won't.
Some of these sound like sporting events.
All of those explosions. They sound like loud Hollywood gunshots, one after another. Like two Americans arguing over a parking space.
So glad they use water spray to keep the dust down /s
It doesn't look like it does much good, in the way of dust abatement.
@@swithinbarclay4797 yup , I was being snarky lol
I mean those are definitely explosions not implosion
No. They're called implosions because the buildings collapse in on themselves.
@@CoasterMan13Official I guess so technically but it's straight up demolition
@@CoasterMan13Official "The technique involves the firing of precisely placed demolition charges in specific timed intervals that use gravity to cause the center of the building to fall vertically while simultaneously pulling the sides inward, a process often erroneously described as an implosion".
You think their implosions lol
I bet the homless would jump at the chance to live in any of these buildings
What about building more homeless shelters?
It is insanely sad that for all our technological hubris, we -can’t- don’t build structures that last. Such insane waste.
A lot of these aren't being torn down because they're structurally deficient, but simply because someone wanted to build something else.
We must be very well off, as a nation, to throw those buildings away
In most case something new and usually different is built on the site.
@@gerardhunt1890 That is hardly the point. This is about waste, poor quality and our lack of continuity.
Oddly enough, it's often wealth that drives the building of crappy structures, and with lousy architecture too.
It looks great when you have experts do it. Now go to the video of the fails.....
the CN building I was at that is in London Ontario Canada

It's an art form.
Down goes the Georgia Dome
Needs after dust pictures. Bite the dust.

What?
@CoasterMan13 They asked if there will be demolition in the 21st century.
@@Drakrau_TheDerg yes, there will be. That question is silly.
What a waste this practice is. All that material will end up in a landfill somewhere. Ridiculous.

What?
You've got to lay off the drugs.
I can’t tell if you’re trying to be satire but failing miserably or if you’re genuinely serious about this LSD-induced rant.
So when did this happen, never heard of that event.
So what.
