    I believe blackpool pleasure beach did the wrecking ball job on the wild mouse ride in February 2018, the wild mouse was a crazy but historic ride built in 1958

    The hotel was vacant for six years because that's how long it took to demolish it.

    Weird how that staircase is designed. How you have to exit the building and cross a balcony to get where your going per floor.

    Salut. Bonjour à tous et bienvenue.
    J’aimerais bien savoir pour quelles raisons là que ces immeubles ont été démolis. Ça m’intéresse beaucoup de me renseigner. S’il vous plaît, est-ce que quelqu’un peut me donner les réponses et me dire pourquoi ces immeubles là ont été démolis ? De quelle raison exactement ? En quelle année ça avait été construit ? Et démoli. S’il vous plaît. La réponse sera très gentil de votre part ? Merci et à très bientôt Guillaume.

    Was it even worth making the video considering how short it is. I wouldn't even call it a "highlights" video, a few bumps of a wrecking ball that barely did anything apart from knock a few bricks off the building. Is there a long/full version showing all or most of the demo job?

    That old timer must be loven that. You don't think so but it's actually a real talent to use a wrecking ball. Sounds dumb but if you don't do it right it will mess that crane right up. But one thing. That ball should be hooked on a truck tire in between the chain and ball. Takes the shock off the boom and crane.
