- Thundering explosions toppled two cranes Sunday that had loomed precariously for days over a partially collapsed hotel in New Orleans, in what city officials hailed as a success and said efforts now would focus on retrieving two bodies still inside the ruined building.
The fiery afternoon explosions sent up massive clouds of dust and sent one crane crashing to the street while the second fell in a way that left much of it resting atop the hotel where officials said it was "stable" and could be removed piecemeal.

Cantrell says the first mission now that the cranes have been toppled is to remove the last two bodies from the rubble. After the bodies are removed, Cantrell says, the building will ultimately be demolished. www.wwltv.com/article/news/local/orleans/cranes-demolished-what-happens-now/289-5aa7260f-3ff1-4493-af57-df1bae3293a1

The contractors were probably professionals on paper.
The problem starts when you hire professionals and get amateur results.
Man, these contractors are incredible! Never have I seen such failures all around.
@Righteous Right. Everything's Trump's fault....stupid comment.
@Righteous idiot
I'm a tower crane operator. Those liebher cranes are like the Cadillac of cranes. This could not have gone as planned. Now they have a unstable crane laying on top of the building. What a mess
Pool Watcher - The one near Canal (on top of the building) seems to me to be more stable than it was. It is no longer in danger of falling on another building (the theater). They will cut it up and haul it off in a week, I suppose.
My concern was it falling off the building. The way it's laying over the building chances are it won't happen. Also, it's going to be dangerous for men to be entering a partially collapsed building to cut up the crane. Maybe it would be best to implode the structure with the crane in it's current position.
@Righteous The racism density in your comment is pretty good, but I think we can squeeze a little more in there...maybe add something about women next time? I'm just spitballing here.
@@mvp922 If you're right, then @Righteous's satire game needs work.
Analog, sad truth is he said nothing false. America is becoming 3rd world. You have not traveled far yet to see how bad USA has fallen.
Not able to speak English doesn’t mean you are stupid, it means there are COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS. One trapped person they had to get a translator for. How can these guys relay information when it is literally a Tower of Babel? The Hindu Foreign run construction company...corrupt as sin itself apparently. List of prior problems including cutback on materials from jobs to use to build mansions for their sons. Skimp on job materials of the main project, you can build a mansion too at no extra cost. It is the socialist way.
Also, city money for this project was done in a trust apparently vs a bank. Great for tax evasion purposes and taking a little here and there for other things.
This is what happens when the job is awarded to the lowest bidder. You get what you pay for.
How do you know the lowest bidder one the contract?
@@AARONANKRUM How did you misspell "won?"
micthekwik This is what happens when let a developer who is a convicted criminal build a building in your city.
@@AARONANKRUM Somebody who takes his job seriously wouldnt have caused the collapse of the construction in the first place
This crane implosion is stupid and dangerous. They could have taken then apart the correct way.
0:20 this lady is so calm
How did they possibly think that would work with only 3 charges on each crane. One charge in the middle is not going to make it implode. Where did they think that arm was going to fall besides right on top of the building directly below it?
They planned for the cranes to fold in and both fall onto the building for further controlled demolition. The one that fell on the building went nearly as planned. I don't think it was supposed to end up hanging over the street though. The one that fell in the street is the one that did not go at all as planned.
edoh - They didn’t “implode” it, they cut it, like you would cut down a tree. It was supposed to fall on the building. The crane near Canal St. did more or less what they wanted it to do. The other crane was a little wild, but no significant harm was done.
Hit the settings icon, set the sped to .25, then watch it again. It looks like two charges per crane. One to cut the support cables for the jib and the second to do something to the counterweights, perhaps just downward force. They should have used beamcutters on both sides of the jib at the vertical support structure. That would have caused the jib to fall straight down. The .5 seconds or so later, blow the cables.
@@Stephen2846 I see the second explosion now, but don't you think they should have been farther apart?
First fail = Building partially collapses due to shoddy construction crew
Second fail = Only one crane comes down due to shoddy demolition crew
Third fail = ? ? ? .......... Anyone?
Hahaha they were all MADE IN CHINA 😅
Actually, 4 years later we now know the collapse was not due to the construction crew, but rather the engineers who designed the building. The crew was actually reporting the issues and were worried that the building was going to fail, but when reported they were told to shut up and get back to work.
Un. Believable. 😳
New Orleans construction companies are bad at their jobs.
Iim a highrise crane operator 4 years now based in Toronto Canada. Every once in a while im tagged or shown videos like this. And this is my only fear. Everyday on duty when im in the skies i pray before the shift in hoping God is withe that day
How????
They probably be touch electrical wire
Waited all day for this crap! And it didn’t go right! Help the families recovery there loved ones!
Just can't catch a break all around... 😣
$5 million for dat?
well that did not go well
The timing was completely off. On the taller crane the second (lower explosion) should have came later to allow the boom and counter weight to settle instead of pulling it away like it did. The second (lower) crane would've fell the same way if it didn't get caught on the structure.
So were these "engineers" or just kids with big firecrackers and "degrees " who have no intelligence or common sense. About as "educated " as the architect or engineers who designed the building.
Both crane are now accessible for cutting and removing in sections safely they are not moving with wind gusts the cleanup of the cranes can proceed very quickly from this point on
Jim Goodwjn - That’s what I think. Removal will be easier and safer from here on.
good work, let's call it a day
it not going according to the plan, not good.
Saint on
If ONLY the Demo guys had slept at the Holiday Inn! 🤔
Huge fail!
Totally went as planned😶
no it not, bad, hope thing get better later.
The explosions were almost equivalent to 8 illegal full stick firecrackers (or M-1000s) going off nearly at the same time.
Ear plugs lol
illegal for you, legal for me
You know in Europe we do things other way, right?
That ish was powerful.Less than a block away
Should have used jet fuel, though maybe they didn't want the whole building to fall.
Both did not go as planed FTFY---the one on the left just inverted closer to the ground not much gained there
rps57x - What was gained was removal of the boom without putting a crew on the structure.
No one did not go as planned
Ok boys job done = let's go get another cold one !!
Angry birds 2 be like:
Demo done by the lowest bidder? LOL
seems lo be a theme with this developer.
$5 millions
@ Thats the worst indian accent ive ever seen typed
The developer is a convicted criminal Enough said.
The demolition was not awarded by bid.
Kailas Citadel builders, Why are they still on this job sight? Where the city fathers, ???? Help was offered, crime after crime after frailer after crime, what could be next,
Don 808 - You are still flogging for your freelance crane mechanics? Give it up.
They both did not go as planned 😂
Mayor Cantrell has got this covered...LaToya has got her "best people" on this...They said "..it could not have gone much better" In light of these statements I don't see how you cannot see the reality of this situation. We Good!...actually poor old New Orleans..We need better than this.
It looks like a professional ,coordinated demolition....It's New Orleans 🙈🙉🙊
What a screwed up demo job and who from Morrow Equipment who owns the cranes advised where to lay the charges, now with bad info their partially on the hook for this demo disaster. No charges to separate the main jib from cab connection they got lucky on the taller crane because the jib was higher and took longer to contact the top of building not so for the lower crane and you can see when the counter jib separates from cab connection the crane falls forward and stays on top of building. Embarrassing engineering info given to demo crew.
What a fucking disaster this whole project was
.....
That one on the left just went for a fling.
Cheapest bidder strikes again. I hope this bankrupts that scumbag developer cutting corners every chance he could.
Next time, hire the Loizeaux group/Controlled Demolition Inc.
Otherwise, hire cheap amateurs, and this is the result!
My friend was in there , he’s texting me right now
This look like sun 1 detonate it
This is why they should not have a Bring Your Child To Work Day in the demolition industry.
This is what happends when u put a woman in charge

( Mohan Kailas ) Cantrell, Citadel, all controlled by ( Mohan Kailas ) owner, developer, contractor, criminal, the person responsible for the deaths of the construction workers at Hard Rock, New Orleans Louisiana U.S.A.( Mohan Kailas ) is now orchestrating the demolition of his building failure, and the two tower crane demolition failure, this criminal is allowed to continue, ? what the @#$% is going on, what is next,? all in ( Mohan Kailas's ) pocket, WOW
I guess non of the overpaid engineers noticed that well made steel structure directly under the crane. You know, the one that is now propping it up. I'm sure a worker saw it and was dismissed as uneducated.
Thats Why You Call In:SEALS,GREEN BERETS,P.J"S & FORCE RECON'S😤
GET THE DAM JOB DONE😈
Well at least the furthest is down on the ground and can be started cutting torched in smaller sections and the other is anchored on the elevator beams! BRAVO!!!
I know you love your conservatives, Louisiana. Please bring in somebody with a calculator from the elitist east or west coast.
New Orleans is run by Criminal Democrats !!!
You do know what city this is right? I'll give you a hint. Former democrat mayor now serving time called it a Chocolate City.
@@AMadScientist You dope. The contractor who was building this refuses to work with union labor. Conservative dream world right there. This is your usual republican calamity. Take a look in the mirror. This is your world.
Mike S Nah. Nothing ever goes wrong with union labor. Shaad Up moron.
There is ZERO indication that the “labor” was at fault.
It's a democratic city and state numbnuts!!!
FUN FACT: THIS WAS INTENDED!!!!! The crane was already leaning that way after the collapse, meaning it coming down on the hotel itself was nearly impossible due to simple physics. Their solution was to cause the counterweight to swing onto the hotel and then the lighter crane structure to collapse onto protective padding set up on the street. This went exactly as planned, and they had the road closed and all kinds of protection set up for when it fell. This was not a case of a lowest bidder doing a shitty job, this is an example of people smarter than any of us in these comments planning something to a T that looks chaotic to the rest of us.. Maybe we should all just shut up and let the experts do their thing sometimes, m'kay?
Sure .. like the so called "experts" who changed the design on the upper floors and put in undersized beams, insufficient column spacing to support the undersized beams and then put in thinner floor sheathing under the poured floor concrete.
You must be an "expert" yourself; defending the incompetence
@@TheFiscallySound Dude, they literally had thick padding on the road where the crane fell, they knew exactly what was gonna happen. Did you see the crane leaning that way already? Also, conflating the absolute abysmal planning of the building pre-collapse with the planning of the completely unrelated contractor brought in post-collapse is a big logical leap at best. It's like blaming the people who took cleaned up Ground Zero post 9/11 with the collapse itself.
¿ Lower them down to the street with ropes like everybody else ?
Somebody likes special effects and fireworks a lot in that company :-)
