  • Various clips and closeups with two cameras covering a high reach demolition excavator working away on the top floors of a 12-story high-rise building. 25 minutes of clips, with one camera doing closeups and the other doing longer shots. At normal speed, with the original audio, but of course while watching you are free to substitute your own personal favorite demolition-accompaniment music!
    Demolition week 23, set 7. From the week of April 14, 2014.
    This former luxury hotel opened in 1960 and has occupied this city block for 54 years. When it opened it was considered one of the most luxurious hotels in the city, although it was criticized by many who considered its modern architecture to be ugly. (Note that it was painted very differently in those first years.)
    It was advertised as San Francisco's "first hotel with air conditioning." During the Cold War, guests were assured the hotel had "a centrally controlled air raid warning system." It had a rooftop skating rink, an outdoor heated pool, wedding chapel and underground parking for 500 cars.
    It closed October 30, 2009 and is being demolished to make way for construction of a new hospital.

    I'm wondering why with all that broken concrete piled up, why they didn't spread it out & give the operator a road to work off of. that's what we used to do... Cool video though.

    I understand that it's very dificult to operate a crane at ten flat building high, but clue: if you cut a pilar at the bottom and at the coronation, this is done. Only rest the rebar which will fall instantly joined with the rest of the structure. Don't mess with he concrete of this pilar at that high, cut the beam and the work is done. Far easier to do this on the ground after.

    I think environmental and safety concerns influence which demo method to use...not to mention structural factors. It takes a different method to safely demo a silo located among several close barns, sheds, etc. that it does in open farmland. Dust can also be a factor when deciding between, say, either a crane with shears, or an implosion.

    The operator just can't see what he's doing. They need to work on putting cameras at the top of these rigs. What a waste of time and equipment.

    It just stands to reason for my way of thinking, to cut the support posts and pull them off of the floor collapsing the floors from the top down. Much easier to break up the large pieces down on the ground and safer too!

    Crane and ball is much better way to demolish buildings. Makes better footage too!

    • @montydaniels1054

      Lack of good crane operators, state laws & client safety concerns has changed that type of demolition dramatically over the past 15-20 years.
