I'm amazed that there is a great deal of aluminium within the building construction. The operator of the wrecking machine is doing amazing task of sorting out all the other items for recovery.
What a great video I enjoy watching your videos keep making great videos I like your videos a lot keep making great videos I like your videos a lot keep making great videos I enjoy watching your videos keep making great videos
Pretty neat to see the large number of bar joists and what looks like common 1970s construction (even 1960s) - I remember when it was very common to have orange-painted girders in building superstructures.
This is about what's happening in Greenville Texas where I live, we have a historical society which tries so very hard to save some of these historic structures if they have historic value and some of them do.
As a collector of vintage 1A2 telephones and systems, I always wonder how much telephone cable is left in buildings slated for demolition. I got to go in and remove phone cable from one building I worked in back in the early 80s. Would love to be able to do that again in places like this!
Whoever is Paying For This Demolition Job, I Bet Is Going 2 Take A Good SCREWING! ESPECIALLY IF THE CONTRACTOR IS CHARGING 4 EACH MACHINE USED AND TIME ! BUILDING GOOD HAVE BEEN DEMOLISHED ETC. A LOT FASTER ! AND COMPLETED BY THE USE OF ONLY 1 PIECE OF HEAVY EQUIPMENT, THIS CONTRACTOR IS GOING 2 USE MULTIPLE PIECES OF HEAVY EQUIPMENT
This grouping of buildings has a dark history. One of these buildings housed the "Monkey House" of now defunct Hazleton Laboratories. In the '90's I lived down the street in the Chestnut Grove Condos where I learned the past about the Monkey Ebola outbreak just down the street. By the time I was there the Monkey House was gone and the surrounding buildings that remained were used for a fitness studio and a daycare center! To this day I'm like "yikes" whenever I think about it. I thought at the time "How could scientists be so reckless to risk housing animals that could harbor a deadly virus in a residential neighborhood?" Luckily that version of Ebola was more harmful to monkeys than humans. The Army did not know that at the time however and took decontamination very seriously. I don't recall it that it even made the news until years later. None of the locals knew of the danger just down the street.
The Monkey House was the building just south of this one. It looked a lot like this one before it was torn down in 1995. The replacement building houses a Kindercare facility -- the children were lined up at the fence watching this demolition, and you can hear their voices at one point in the video. boundarystones.weta.org/2018/02/13/ebola-comes-reston
@@JohnZWetmore Thank you for answering and explaining a 30 year question of mine. Which was, where was the actual Hazleton building and in what proximity to the child care center? I lived in the area after this all happened, heard all the stories but never knew where everything was. Wow, so the child care center was built on the old Hazleton elevation. Now I know after all these years!
That must’ve been the Ebola story I heard about as a child. I remember being scared as my dad was fear mongering about it. We were living in Burke at the time.
How does tearing down and abandoned out of use building put people out of work? who knows the condition of this building. Could be full of mold and what not.. no longer wanted, no longer needed, time to tear and down and build something useful there. I wouldn't want to put a restaurant in a building that looks like a school.

So what do they do all with that metal recycling
That guy is a master operator.
But ruin. Will they build a new building or will it stay that way?
I lived across the street from that place for 10yrs
Wish I could have all that scrap metal.

That looks like it could've been some storage warehouses but I can't be sure though
In 2019 this end of the building was a Montessori school. You can see some of the playground equipment in some of the early shots.
It is surprising how fragile man-made structures are.
The orange beams are rather flimsy.

I go to school a tenth of a mile from here haha!

How stupid to tear that building down
as in SIR Isaac Newton?
They could have put a restaurant. There why tear down a building and put people out of work .that is a shame
