      Dangerous though.. If you do this fulltime for years then the chance is pretty big that you're going to experience some nasty situations.

    I think the use of a torch and not heavy equipment is due to 1 its in a neighborhood, 2 across from a school.

      Also as it is an all steel structure it has to be cut up to all for transport. If it were a mixed material construction they could have used heavy equipment to just crush everything much the way the did with the GM Broening Highway plant that they tore down a number of years ago. That one was a mix of steel, fiberglass, brick, concrete and more, that they still had to sort the materials to go to different disposal sites.

      I'll film factory demolitions if they aren't too far away (DC, MD, VA) and I hear about them in time. Around here it is more often warehouses and office buildings.

      UA-cam will let you run it at 2x speed. Cutting steel is inherently a slow process.

      @@JohnZWetmore It is ( slow), that's for sure...I was more commenting on the process of the Oxy Acetylene torch cutting...A plasma rig would go faster..But I imagine finding power and staging the rig in a closed plant environment is a pain in the ass...I've been in the trades for over 3 decades, I thought by the 21st century; we'd have Robots with lasers doing this by now!...:)

      I am told that the company had surplus capacity in its other plants that produce sodium silicates.

      If Maryland is like California, the cost of doing business is high and someone probably wanted to build apartments on that property like we see around 5:40.
