@@TheLoizeauxGroupLLC I was in the demolition field for 30 years here in Detroit. When I was with Adamo Wrecking, I remember watching your work, when you guys were in Michigan, and a few out of state as well... CDI is the best by far... Thanks for posting the video... MD...
Poetry in motion. It never ceases to amaze me how gravity takes over, after the blasting, and pulls the structure down apon itself. Thank you for the great video.
My favorite utube channel. Every year your videos get better and better. Just one request for the future.... add the name of the city so we can look up before and after views on Google Earth.
As always, great stuff… it’s truly amazing to see carnage under control.. couldn’t imagine the possibilities of what could go wrong in such a confided space…. AND! all that mirrored glass just wasted.. I would have loved to get a dozen or so big panes..
Another absolutely fantastic compilation. I picked the wrong career - I should have gotten the education to work for you. What an incredibly awesome job!
C.D.I. you are all amazing. people think you just drive up and slap some explosives on the columns and press a detonator button and walk away and collect money. from watching the show you once had on T.V. and all your videos i know how much hard work goes into one of your jobs. even before you start and work , going out to the job looking it over. more hours of engineering looking at blue prints from the people that built the structure in the first place , thinking about how they built it , the materials they used and what they were thinking. after all that you spend hunderd's of hours of your own engineering and then you add the most important ingredient , your years and years of experiance. then you hand it over to the men and woman in the field to prep the structure . all you have to do to see the engineering is to look at the steel cables tied off to the columns to keep them up and not falling wrong. how you place the shape charges on the columns and box them to stop them from cutting detonation cord to other charges . were you place the dynamite kicker charges on all of the main support columns in the basement . checking all the work before the shot .its not just 5,4,3,2,1,fire to make a perfect out come, what you do is so awesome and your daddy would be so proud of you. you are doing things that he never dreamed of doing and doing them safely and on time. you are all awesome from the top to the bottom and you are an american company top of the line. keep it up and hand it down , god bless you all and keep safe every one . thank you for the great videos and please keep them coming.
Greatest implosion building in throwback and Present Day Raw Footage, intro and end clips ever. I like the 12:41, it gives new Guiness World Record. You should put the clips of implosion building during movie film of "Lethal Weapon 3", a mini movie while the Dunes Hotel & Casino imploded & "Demolition Man".
When other blasters say it can't be done... CDI asks when does it need to be done by, and then get it done On Time and On Budget. CDI the Art of Demolition...
I have a question: why do some buildings come down without a noticable delay (like at 6:33), while others have a large delay between the initial detcord explosions and the main explosives going off?
Wow, really wanna see those unseen videos that yet to be uploaded. Even some buildings you showed in "CDI The Art of Demolition" video didn't upload yet.
Oh, man! I saw the Sears building in Kansas City in this compilation! Got to see that one from about a mile away, and got some pretty cool photos / video.
I’m 10 months late to this video I’ll try to do better next time. Thank you for sharing this video y’all do good work even in difficult circumstances. Again thank you
Those are timed charges being activated. If the charges were activated as the sequence began, the det cord would be cut and the demolition would be interrupted.
Thank you for sharing this compilation. Could you be so kind to subtitle the videos? Or, at least, tell us where those buildings were, and why they were imploded and by who(m)? Tanx!!
Are the any of the old Atlantic City hotels available? Like the Traymore? Thanks. I worked for Suburban Sales in the 1990s and enjoying meeting Doug and Stacey as well as other associates. Stay well!
I was in the demolition field for 30 years. Conventional Demolition, not like CDI using explosives... CDI was the contractor on a few of the jobs I ended up going on. I still remember being in downtown Detroit to watch. And on that day, the wind picked up and must have been blowing at 25-30 mph, and it certainly helped take care of the dust that day as the building fell... Below is a sorta short story of what happened when one of the owners of the company I worked for decided NOT TO USE CDI... One of the owners of the company I worked for was approached at a bar by one of CDI's competitors, so when that partner, (his name was Garavaglia, and a very well known man in Detroit), made some goofy bullshit agreement with the contractor, the day of the job, the building was setup wrong, and a bunch of charges didn't go off, then to add to that mess, the guy running the job put a lot of the shape charges in the wrong place for some reason. The guy blasted the building, but nothing happened. So he took a small crew back into the building to locate all the charges that didn't go off, rewire them, and then he added more charges inside the building. Next he went to blast the building for the 2nd time, still nothing. So we ended up having to start using a crane and started taking the building down with a Wrecking Ball. All of a sudden, the building started falling, HOWEVER lol, it fell backwards and leveled the 4 buildings behind our building. When the other owner of the company I was with came out, both partners got into a very long & loud argument. The last thing I heard the one owner say was, ''I thought you had an contract agreement with CDI to do the job, then he got into his car and left the job site. Although the job was a total mess, we ended up working about 14 hours Saturday & Sunday, to clean off those 4 buildings that were leveled...
Curious about series of smaller explosions at beginning of each job. Are they done to weaken certain places before the main explosions? Btw, I enjoy all your videos. It's amazing how the buildings fall in such a small footprint.
Is there any way you can make some videos that explain how to understand what's going on, when we watch these? For example, the basic steps in the sequence, how each step is triggered/timed, and how the order of steps is chosen... is it simulated in software, first? It seems to be a bit of an art, especially the critical safety aspects, and prevention of collateral damages.
Awesome. It would be cool if you guys could show where and why you place the charges and how the timing effects the process. Guessing the first set of charges weakens the structure, then the last are what finishes the job?
They've been the subject of numerous TV specials and series over the years that show the whole process, I'd be surprised if you couldn't find some of them posted here and there around the web.
My favorite is still the shot you did on South Padre Island. This building was an embarrassment to all of us in the area. Never finished before being demolished. Sad. Reminds me of the Fashion Mart in Miami: build with concrete using sand from the beach. Rot the Rebar and tear the whole thing down shortly after opening. Idiocy.
Just think some buildings are imploded very close to buildings at all sides and I'm greatful for the people who put the explosives in the right places.
Chop out the core columns with a few shaped charges, before a few well placed perimeter charges finish off the remaining structure so that in can collapse in its own footprint. Nice to look at all the same, not with standing other implications....
Nothing like a CDI compilation! Nobody does it better.
Thanks you so much!

One of my favorite of your implosions. Love the glistening and sparkles of the glass as the building comes down!
Came here to say this!
@@runswithbeer YES!!! lol....Sometimes I feel sad when I see all that beautiful glass come crashing down.
This is the most viscerally satisfying form of art, and nobody does it better!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Perfection at its finest, for the weeks and months, and sometimes years that such a demolition takes, CDI is the best at what it does
Thank you so much!

It’s like watching a fine concert.
Thanks for watching!
Very well put together video of buildings being very well taken apart. 14:50 is the icing on the cake.
Thank you!!
A great portfolio for any other property owner out there that needs a structure to be blasted down to rubble.
Thanks for watching!

Doesn't this demolition company do most of the controlled demolitions in the world?,excellent video
Thanks for watching!
Excellent compilation! The only thing extra I would like to see would be the "after" picture when the dust settles.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the feedback.
Next should be a video of an implosion, followed by a timelapse of a new building going up in it's place.
Absolutely amazing work.
Thank you very much!
CDI thanks for sending videos of demolition
Glad you like them!
When I saw this come up in my feed, I knew it would be good.
Thanks for watching!
I have a question: why do some buildings come down without a noticable delay (like at 6:33), while others have a large delay between the initial detcord explosions and the main explosives going off?
The amount of explosives needed is baffling to me. A building can remain standing even after severe damage
10:29 is the Pirate's Cove Holiday Inn on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. I went there for Spring Break 1996, I'll never forget!
Aw this was awesome!! I have so many favorites! The only thing that would make it better is the place and maybe even the year. I'm a map geek!
Thanks for the feedback! Good idea! Thanks for watching!
PERFECT, CDI did it again!! As the name says Controlled Demolition?.

What are the small blasts at the beginning before the blasts that topple the structure?
Those are timed charges being activated. If the charges were activated as the sequence began, the det cord would be cut and the demolition would be interrupted.
@@andymoore5187 I wondered for years what that was but never thought to search that up. Thanks!

You should make a time stamp list of the implosions.
