Okay, sick, I’ll keep this in mind next time I need to *dispose of a skyscraper*
Write that down, write that down
ikr
It’s so hard to demolish a lego tower 😔
Noted
With millions of people escaping New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, leaving the Fascist tyranny that uses an easily-treated bug as an excuse to enslave an entire population, there are a lot of skyscrapers left behind without a population base to sustain them. This video will come in handy.

Great video, came in handy! Was about to dispose of my skyscraper but didn't know how to. This video cleared up a lot of confusion. Thanks!
This reminds me of a time many years back when a motel bought some land, they built a massive motel and after about 6 years they tore it down for what felt like no reason. The building was frequently used (so customers) and it was in excellent condition, even looked very nice. Than they started to tear the building down, folks where confused but the answer was roughly the same as this.
The land it was built on sky rocketed in value due to the oil boom in the area, what was once a relatively small town blew up over a few years and since projects start years prior to the build they bought the land for a decent amount. After building, and using it for a few years they realized it was much more profitable to put the land up for sale and wait till someone bought it for a empty lot alone. Which happened, the area was "modernizing" quickly and that lot just so happened to end up on the main strip with many companies building in close proximity (mostly headquarters, and corporate centers).
It was a shame to see such a new and relatively high end building get torn down, they must have spent millions to build it, still wonder what kinda money where they offered ... must have been a lot.
What’s with the quotation marks?
@@jacktheflash8478 it's them quoting what the other people said. "Modernizing" doesn't really mean anything without context, so it's intentionally vague.

How to dispose OF a skyscraper.
Adora Basil Winterpock good
Buildings I’ve driven past that looked like they were being built, could have been being torn down for all I know
@Evilpimp Not really.
Makes me wonder how we'll need to define what's "historic" and worth keeping vs. what must go to keep up with progress. Chicago's Marina City is undoubtedly an iconic structure, but is increasingly inefficient compared to newer technology. Is it worth keeping just for aesthetics? Even when the city population doubles yet again?
culture over literal trash
There's a point where a structure is so large and old that maintenance simply can't be kept up anymore -- many modern buildings use some form of metal such as rebar along with concrete, which is what gives them the ability to become so large. But since metal rusts and refurbishing rebar embedded in concrete is difficult, it gives most modern buildings around over a hundred years lifespan before it needs to be torn down and rebuilt.
Incredibly historic buildings can stay but with great maintaining costs, while iconic but not necessarily crucial structures can be preserved through scale models, blueprints, and 3D scans of the interior even if the original structure is torn down.
This is giving me The Arcadian vibes from himym
low quality what?
@@sovereigntyofvoyagers7380 makes me wonder why people before us creations still stand and yet ours wont last maybe 20 years after we gone... all that work and no real value through time.

@@kansasthunderman1 Leaning tower of Dallas
I visited New York last summer and pondered the exact same question. Thanks for covering this!
In my home town (Vancouver) they recently tore down a 30-odd floor hotel, took it apart piece by piece. Same with the old Port Mann Bridge, took it apart backwards to how it was built.
"To date only a handful of towers taller than 150 m have been intentionally demolished."
I can think of a couple fairly large ones.
"Fairly large" or over 150m? There's a difference. It only takes a couple minutes to Google and the statement isn't that far off.
www.skyscrapercenter.com/buildings?list=tallest-demolished
There have been 8 buildings over 150m that have been demolished if you don't include the world trade centre. There's probably a one or two others in the remaining 8 that don't qualify for the statement either if I cared to research any further.
"Only a hand full of towers over 150 meters have ever been intentionally destroyed"
The demolition of the building is like playing a video of building it backwards

Not disappointed in the slightest.
"these huge structures are in fact just as replacable as anything else we build"

"the process is highly complex, specialist and fraught with challenges."
I mean building a skyscraper is complex, specialist, and fraught with challenges to be fair
i remember watching you when you only had 100K. And i've loved every minute of every video. cant wait for you to reach 10 mil subs
I've always wondered this. However, I'm still curious what happens to the people who own units within the building. How are they reimbursed for the loss of their units?
Yes, still seems crazy though.
Demolish the floors above and then see how fast they want to sell it.
I don't think apartment complexes get demolished tho. It's all about office towers and maybe hotels, which you can never own units in, only lease. That's my guess.
Perfect recommendation. I have at least ten skyscrapers just gathering dust in my garage that I need to dispose of. Thanks for the helpful solutions

Glad you took an example where a lot was reused, it is so important to not just take down buildings but to also see the resources it contains and to recycle or reuse them! Many people seams to forget we are living on a planet with limited resources.

I wish I knew about the deconstruction of 270 Park Ave earlier. I've been passing by it since October. I only noticed there was a wall blocking the first floor, I didn't think anything of it. Now I know.
It's the world's tallest voluntarily demolished structure, ever. The replacement structure will be 70 stories (7 parking, 6 mechanical, 57 offices, with higher ceilings) that's more than 1200 feet tall and with a wider building (the prior 270 Park had a 52-story main structure and a 13-story podium on Madison). The new building and its permits have already been approved.
Or how bout flying fully fueled 757's into them, and setting detonators to go off about an hour later... that always works..😟
Moshe..yup
Fascinating info as usual, though gotta say, I'm somewhat puzzled by the industry's urge to build even larger towers...other than a generic "because we can, so we must" mindset. I think it would be far more interesting to see things built that could be more beneficial to the public at large. Thanks for posting.
Are you an idiot or something? We need space in urban centres. If you build sideways, you move away from the centre. If you build up, you stay as far away as when you started.
I literally was just thinking of this topic yesterday, didn't talk about it to anyone or search about it online in anyway, and it just gets recommended to me...
Been watching this from the start.. I work 2 blocks away from 270 Park and they finished removing it about 2 weeks ago. The steel beams they are putting up in it's place is wild! Never seen that formation before. Looking forward to the completion.
Walk by the JP MorganChase building everyday and I never noticed that whole structure was coming down 😳
I have always wondered how they were gonna deal with old skyscrapers. Like 50-100 years we gonna be having quite the problem with older buildings.
Old skyscrapers are still useful. The pyramids in Egypt are 1000s of years old.
1:15 hey, thats Warsaw! Quite old footage tho, there are twice as many skyscrapers now even in that very vicinity
Actually an interesting video, I've always wondered how engineers would go about dimolishing a skyscraper safely without causing too much damage to the local area. Seems like engineers took some inspiration from ship breaking yards when disposing of old ships by means of gutting, dismantling the super structure then breaking down the hull.
This is going into my “Knowledge I now have but will never need” playlist.

It cures Corona
Advice to demolition companies to save a lot of time and money: just start some fires near the top floors and even the tallest buildings in the world can come down into themselves.
And building #7 near by will be so jealous it will fall down too; without any raging fires! 'Think I'll just fall to pieces and land perfectly in my own footprint! WHEEEeeeeeee!"
Great video!
But as always; "the 50-100 year lifespan" is the key problem with modern architecture.
Build traditionally and a building will last forever.
tokyo has only 25
"the 50-100 year lifespan" I think it means that the building is: 1)no longer a relevant or historical building; 2) they have better plans for the space that is being used by said building... so it's 'usability and profitability lifespan' and not necessarily 'structural lifespan'.
No building will last forever without human maintenance.
Traditional Architecture is more beautiful than Modern Architecture.
@@PrimiusLovin This is a complete waste of materials and energy. With the economic crash from the corona virus.
