    Thinking about the one that fell on the excavator at 8:32, the operator actually made a smart move if watched close. He tuned the vehicle left so the cab would avoid more of the drop, and the structure hit the boom, pushing the cab out of the collapse further. Very smart move, almost certainly saved his rear as the cab didn't get hit. if it had been, the construction material would've gone right through it.

    Meanwhile, the demolition of the university hospital in Denver was flawless. The crew even had piles of bricks, from the university side, the hospital portion, or the diabetic clinic portion. Found this out when, driving by, I burst into tears. Still not sure why I was crying over my specialty doctor’s office. I pulled over, and, still teary, walked up to the fence. The guy who noticed me just asked if I was a student or patient. The brick sits on my dresser…

    In Singapore, all contractors in charge of demolishing buildings will gather together to discuss on what method is the best without causing pollution. When a building is about to be demolished, small excavators equipped with demolition hammers are first brought to the site by trucks. Then a big mobile crane is rented to hoist the small excavators onto the top of the building. As the small excavators start to demolish the building, workers equipped with water hoses will spray water at the debris in order to dissipate heat coming from the demolition hammers hacking at the building. If water is not sprayed to cool down the debris, the rest of the building will catch fire and burn the small excavators and their operators, causing serious injury or even death of the workers on top of the building.

    On the building in china where only half of the building fell you can clearly see that the balconies facing the camera had all been jack hammered to create a cut all the way up the building. That would indicate that taking down only half the building was in fact the intention of the demolition crew. The cut was also continued from the balconies down the middle of the corridors all the way to the far side of the building on each floor of the building. That allowed the left half of the building to fall away from the right half without pulling the right side along with it. And that is exactly what happened. You can even see half of the corridor concrete floor remained attached to the right side of the building and can even see the rough jackhammer cut that was made to separate the building in two straight down the central corridors.
