  • 28-minute compilation of a high-reach demolition excavator collapsing some of the upper floors of a high-rise. All at normal speed. A few two-camera sequences. Has the original audio; of course you are free to supply your own favorite demolition-accompaniment music as you watch!
    Demolition week 23, set 3. From the week of April 14, 2014.
    This former luxury hotel opened in 1960 and has occupied this city block for 54 years. When it opened it was considered one of the most luxurious hotels in the city, although it was criticized by many who considered its modern architecture to be ugly. (Note that it was painted very differently in those first years.)
    It was advertised as San Francisco's "first hotel with air conditioning." During the Cold War, guests were assured the hotel had "a centrally controlled air raid warning system." It had a rooftop skating rink, an outdoor heated pool, wedding chapel and underground parking for 500 cars.
    It closed October 30, 2009 and is being demolished to make way for construction of a new hospital.

    @Hotel Demolition. Great set of video's of this building getting demoed. High Reach Attachments have come a long way since they first came out. I can remember when demo companies were fabricating their own attachments, [ usually the equipment salesman would let the contractor know that they would be voiding any warranties on the excavators sold.] La Bounty was the only 3rd member & shear attachment company around.
