@@denverdubois5835 I'm sure there's a few ticking time bombs. I just really hope all this has opened their eyes to what such neglect could do. Unfortunately they wouldn't look at the people deceased from their neglect as the most important factor. It would be the possible loss of income they wouldn't be making if the building collapsed as well for their reputation. A damn shame this happened in such a modern age.. Not because of mother nature or a freak accident; rather neglect/greed. Something that could have been prevented if they looked at human life (customers life) as the most valuable thing. No, they're only $$$ signs until their neglect/greed catches up with them. Value money over human life is the motto.

Agreed, I thought of the same immediately when the presenter mentioned that the condo collapsed unexpectedly since the structure was weaker than expected, the implication being that it had such critically minimal structural margin left that normal pre-weakening and drilling for the explosives left it unable to bear its own dead load - so it's possible that in ten years time or whatever it might have collapsed on its own had it been left standing and occupied.

They cut supports one by one instead of cutting leaving some behind, that made structure very unbalanced (one side had all supports and other had none) so the roof fell, and because it was very heavy it also made enough force to take down the wall.

I remember the Crawford plant. Wasn’t far from where I lived. The twin stacks were a bit of an icon in suburban Chicago (they could be seen from Midway) and it was weird seeing the plant be disassembled bit by bit. Looking at it today (at the time of writing) there’s barely anything left. With Crawford gone, there’s one coal fired plant standing in Chicago (inactive as well) and that is the Fisk Generating Station, standing since 1903. (Current units inside since 1968)

A) It's "Dal - house - ee" for Dalhousie, New Brunswick. B) There was a power plant near me, at the Loring Development Center, that failed similarly to many of these. The stacks and first floor were blown out, but the rest of the building just dropped straight down, and stayed in one piece, sitting on the rubble of the first floor.

I remember watching the Pontiac Silverdome being built....however at least I got to catch the bloopers on its demise as well....

That one guy in the suspended cage at the St Petersburg entertainment complex as it collapsed, was like 'Wah-wah!', to that other dude.

This legit needs a warning that you will see someone die. Heartbreaking to watch someone's last moments alive.

I wonder how many of these buildings contain asbestos and how often it's 'accidentally' overlooked. Removing the stuff is very expensive and I'm sure oftentimes it's illegally ignored because they know that any illness or death related to it would take years to manifest and would be impossible to trace back to them and their demolition.

In some cases the explosion site is sprayed heavily with water to stop a possible spread of asbestos. Not sure about the US but here all the alarms go off of they find it before demolishing it (blowing up buildings is reasonably uncommon here because the structures in The Netherlands are usually not big enough to do so, but also in the way of to much other buildings to do it reasonably cheaply.

@@felixspaghetti2611 I agree, much more interesting to have some additional information about what is being shown.

We had an old iron bridge that spanned the Mississippi River, called the Marshall Ave./Lake Street bridge. It connected St. Paul with Minneapolis. The "experts" had deemed it too unsafe for more than one truck or bus to pass each other, so they could only cross one at a time, with signs saying, "Buses and Trucks Must Not Meet on Bridge". Well, the big day came when they were gonna blow it up. We all gathered to watch. ka-BOOM! Big explosion. Then nothing. The bridge was still standing there. I guess it wasn't as "unsafe" as they originally thought! 😂

Love it when a building resists destruction.

Haha the silver dome all I can thing of is Michael cole saying ahh hogan this is the super dome hahaha

You forgot the old Canberra (Australia) hospital in the 1980's. When they blew it up a piece of debris that flew a long way killed a young boy that was watching.

It was in 1997 and it was a young girl that was killed.

The demo company for the silverdome said the deadline was too soon and they had to rush to try to make it and missed something

They should have said “no thanks”. If they took the job knowing they’d have to cut corners to meet the deadline, then they’re at fault.

@@asterix7842 it's been abandoned forever also and they had to rush to get it ready for the day it was set. Move the viewing part back I'm sure the people can wait a few more days.

I went to the Monsters of Rock concert at Pontiac Silverdome in the late 80's. It was the first concert I learned you could sneak an entire fifth of Jack Daniels in doubled up ziploc bags and stay drunk for 10 hours. :)

13:53... That building in Miami that collapsed on its own accord, are just like all the buildings in Miami. The greedy construction companies charge more money, but they build with really cheap materials, find short cuts, and hire inexperience workers. Casing point, Surfside Condo collapse and Florida International University pedestrian bridge.

Interesting video, very memorizable!

Used to live in Pontiac. Been to the Silver Done many, many times.

Ironic cos I use to live In a Pontiac

I worked in Dallas at the time and drove by the leaning tower every day going to work. It was surprising to see it the first time.

"Why was it necessary to carry out the work in the middle of a pandemic"? Surely... What were they supposed to do then, just sit and roll their thumbs for two years? Who's gonna pay their rent?

Watched this after the Architecture fails video... quite the juxtaposition 🤣

Here this method of demolition is never used, and I think there are many reasons for it: - it is a lot of work to remove all dangerous materials (asbestos) - then more work to weaken the structure - then more work and expertise to place the explosives - you need to clear the area for the worst-case fall of debris - there is a lot of dust that has to be cleared afterwards - you end up with a pile of rubble that you still need to separate and move away All in all, it just isn't worth it. Disassembling the building piece by piece is as much work, cleaner, safer, environmentally friendly, etc. Even those destruction balls aren't used anymore. Better to use special equipment with hydraulic claws.

regardless of what you think, abatements are done, contaminants removed, firetrucks wet it all down and then machines can rip at it if possible. That is common procedure... Demo company i know never uses explosives, they pull out the supports after damaging the structure

17:56 give them a break, *they’re demolishing structures asbestos they can.*

Amazing how much money is spent on some of these projects only to be demolished within a generation or two.

I was living in Chicago at the time and STILL didn't hear about it. Lol that's Chicago for you though. It's ironic you live in Benton Harbor too. I moved my business from Chicago to Benton Harbor about a year or so ago, and I live in Coloma right near by. Benton Harbor is so much better than Chicago 👍
