excavator vs. elevator

[deathcar]

Dude, humans rule!

[flobaththegr8]

wudnt it have been easier to burn the dam thing down seemign it;s mainy made of wood?

[tommygunallday]

"Watch all the way to the end!" Yeah, fuck that.

[vivitar45]

i just burn it down be easyer

[borderraven]

@vivitar45, I agree it would take less energy to light it on fire and clean up afterwards, that to spend fuel and operator time tearing it down. Fire would have burn the wood, leaving carbon and metal, more efficient than mechanical tear down.

[bytmeh]

@borderraven I think the most efficient way is for your mother to eat it, just like she does with everything else :D

[borderraven]

@bytmeh 1

[bytmeh]

@borderraven hehe :D you have an excellent point however, the majority of the dwelling exterior was corrigated steel/metal. Burning the house in this case would use far 'more' energy as it has simply been wasted in the sky. They chose a suitable method, the owner is generally charged an hourly rate; which can be cost effective in this building type. The added benefit is actually recycling the torn material to compensate the demolition cost and removal. :D peace out

[Mrpsychotehpyro]

Yeah...i be even cheaper if you just dont demolish it, let it stay.

[PaulPreddy]

I'd jus chuk a match in ther and burn it down, its cheaper and gets rid of the rubbish at the same time.

[renton9999]

@PaulPreddy umm...they did burn it, just had to be sure the bonfire didn't fall over while roasting the marshmellows

[OK2BCK]

thats a good job

[breiteschaufel]

ein heißer Abriss wäre einfacher gewesen...

[sjaderlund]

I got.....I got.....I don't have it

[skypetey]

can of gas and a match wuda been cheaper. though, not as quick......

[GeorgeVeld]

@skypetey with all that grain dust in there ??? it would have been faster kinda like dynamite but then Ilike a big boom

[borderraven]

@GeorgeVeld, Big boom is better YouTube.

[Jense27369]

hey and how aboud to separet the wood, metal and stone ???

in germany we demolish not like this

i think you dont know recycling in the usa !!!

[MotoScootMech]

Wow he ripped that thing to shreds in under ten minutes, and thats not a small building either.

[JpnD9]

I always sorry these old houses, we always lose a piece of history.

The new houses, buildings are so ugly, sample and cheap.

[jannercornwall]

see how he caught that !!!!!? WTF you on about ? that was the dumbest demo on youtube, should have under pinned it from the other side at dippers length reach

[killer8353]

burn it.... That was fast...

[123schlueter321]

Was bringt das abreißen wenn ihr das sowieso anzündet??

[ChopsA100]

Id av started from the high side first took the bulk away from the bottom thn shoved it from the other side so it wud fall away from me!! E took no tym at all t think it thow! talk about job n nock!! Lol

[TheBenoli]

Couldn't you light the fire from the beginning?

[xatolk]

I was like omg it's gonna fall now well now, trough the whole video lol

[dlydrgr]

cowboy

[Shiover]

Cvjnhtnm c 8:10.

[mygormagr]

...this what they call recycling in america... dont know what to with it burn it...yeehaa

[9b8]

Shit, I coulda stood up there and had one last smoke before coming down! But wow he got lucky on the fall on catching it. In a machine like that you invincible, but in a heartbeat things can change. All the sharp stuff in that, there are about a few million ways to get impaled. That lil glass bubble isn't gonna stop shit.

[dozerman8114]

Allways take a corner and use that to your advantage. I don't where he learn't. He's asking for it. Lucky he's alive to watch the flames..

[dozerman8114]

[evadvalcourt]

Just sratch the bucket cylinder on that...

[wingmanalive]

In Philly one day an excavator crew came in a did a clean job of taking down an old house. Pretty quick too. Turns out the company that sent them gave them the wrong address! The guy cam home from work like WTF????

[1973RoadRunner440]

I'd hate to see this guy take down a grain silo

[1973RoadRunner440]

Wow, pile up all the wood underneath you and build a ramp as far up as you can then take it down from there. It's not that difficult.

[Arthur61987]

There's obviously a lot of stuff around this building. If they set it on fire without bringing it down first, it would burn and fall uncontrollably. I guess common sense just isn't that common. The way he caught it was very impressive.

[newjcb123uk]

I dont think he caught that love - more like it caught him...

[mehrshadvr4]

@newjcb123uk no he caught it. if you look he moved the arm back and angled it. he knew it'll fall on his side.

[jpmelsdon]

surely that would of been alot safer and easier if he had pincers or a big grab or something.he could of just picked it apart then instead of trying to pull a 40foot building towards him

[xRosieRevengex]

that bloke nust hape hes job

[huggysthejellyfish]

lol it looked like he was trying to see how much he could take away with out it falling over then was like fuck it and knocked it over :P

[greasychoppers]

I believe it is against the law to burn a standing building unless its for fireman training.

[annihilus2]

I guess that was a rental, who treats their excavator like that? A piece of sheetmetal falling from 40 feet in the air, gliding around and entering the cab from the side didn't scare him. That train looked awfully close. What place allows you to burn something like that?  If it's ok to burn that, why did they start burning it before he's even got the excavator off the pile. Why does he do more pulling than pushing? Why, like the rest of the posts say, didn't he just burn it in place? bleh

[britdemo]

thats was lucky not skillfull..all he had to do is pile up the wood to get more hight ..dont think he is a proper demo oporator is he

[llonewolff]

the thing i dont get is after all that , they set fire to it lol . why not set fire to it when its standing? pretty dumb if you ask me

[RATHAHONNI]

Skillful or lucky???

[73Shakes]

Gas?Match? TnT? But what fun would that be.

[neiderhouse]

I think I have been there before????

[AGDemo]

Next Time Fire First Then Excavator Second!!! ;-)

[staceykeeler]

That is really cool ney!!

[AnnaBearcat]

Wow! That was neat! I can't believe that old thing is finally gone!
