    My hair was growing gray for the first five or six minutes of the film, however for historical interest and finally watching it fall oh, it was worth the wait. You did a great job calculating where it should fall. Thank you for making this video.

    Damn, not often you see an expert operating a machine - no false moves, no second tries or screwups just do it right the first time each time.

    This is an example of professionalism. The operator was careful and methodical. No drama, no accident. Efficient and no one got hurt and no unintended outcome. But the title is misleading.

    it seemed ages watching this vid for the stack to drop, why after taking a large amount out of the bottom he just went round the back and give it a gentle nudge at the top of the stack to send it on its way

  • @raypitts4880
    @raypitts4880 Před 3 lety

    also further to my comment below. there has to more weight over the hole to make it fall as there is more weight in the back so you have to go beyond the middle to make it topple.

    Seriously, the whole thing was way over dramatised. A couple of cuts across the side in the direction of the drop and a shove from behind and down it comes...any good operator or skilled demolition expert would have had this down in a mater of minutes with no damages or anyone hurt.

    I think the operator isn’t very experience at this or he just wanted to drag it out.

    • @jedidiahross7447
      @jedidiahross7447 Před 3 lety

      Blocks stacked one on top of the other. They used rebar bands to keep them set. So, once you get a few rows going and then the weight gets going it folds it up.
      The tension and nerves involved is amazingly high, as you never wore know where is going until it starts. And then it's just going.

    i can see why he is so slow doing 12 in. at a time he gets paid by the hour, and he drove all the way around when he could have turned a little to the right then swung the turret all the way around to get to the same place.
