    I think it will take longer to take it down than it did to build it.

    Thanks for another great video. Interesting demo technique I've not seen before. It goes faster than I would expect. Those remote control hammers are also new to me. I wonder if they were able to salvage all those shoring poles they installed from the rubble?

      It looked like they were saving the poles, but tough to tell for sure from my angle. They would need to reuse them several times to do the rest of the building.

      You are welcome. Every time I film a demolition, I hope to capture something new or different. This one did not disappoint.

    John, is this building being dismantled for reclamation? It's odd to see a crew like this with no larger equipment.

    • @JohnZWetmore

      They plan to reuse the underground garage for the new building. I do not know if that has influenced their choice of equipment, but it might be difficult to reach the middle of the old building with large equipment without falling through the floor into the garage.

    New subscriber here! How do you not have tens of thousands? *Awesome video content, good videography, and sound.* Demolitions is what I wanted to do when I was a young man, but wound up finding an additional passion as a glassblower in the semiconductor industry. I can still enjoy demolitions with your channel though! Keep them coming! Hey, what kind of video gear do you use?

      Thank you for subscribing. I'm picking up a hundred new subscribers a week, so I'll get there eventually.
      I use a Canon XA-11 camera on an old Bogen tripod. Demolition is loud enough that I just use the built-in camera mic. I edit on an old version of Adobe Premiere Pro 6.

      I work for the company that dumped that vilde, the reason we use that is because a certain part of vilde would stay if we saw it all thrown away with heavy machinery we would see it done

    Building does not seem that old

      The building was completed in 1986.

      35 years old is not that old there are houses around me built in the 1800s and 1900s still standing seams pretty crazy its already getting torn down unless the building had major structural issues that couldn't be fixed

      @@tylorevans It‘s crazy, but normal these days. If an investor has purchased an office building and wants to build appartments, it‘s easier to demolish the whole building instead of converting it. That‘s really wasteful, especially if it‘s a solid concrete building with no structural damages, but just a wrong floor plan.

      @@tylorevans I agree in part but with people working from home the demand for office space is reducing , creating good quality safe homes is more important than either leaving downtown office space empty and unneeded or reusing the lot If the creation of those new good quality new home with good light , good fire safety, and access ,good sound absorption and all the other things that go into a good residential development means that the office has to be substantially remodeled so be it. No one wants a shoddy home and I'm sure the developer has looked into getting the building developed within code in the most cost effective way

      I understand that business have been on a spiral turn over over the last decade then lost of businesses failed because of covid19 I was just saying the building was young and it could have easily been converted into apartments but it may have been to expensive to do so exceed the cost of tear down and rebuild.
