Death of the "High Rise"

[yosikana01]

しかしバカだねえ！こうなる事予想できるだろうに！スリルを味わ­っていたのか？高価な機械をぶっ壊してまでスリル味わうかね？キ­チガイとしか言いようがない！！

[gldngoddess63]

Unbelievable...a treacherous ending to an infamous building. I moved to las Vegas NM in 1980. We arrived at night and the only thing I could see in the blackness of a small town without too many street lights was this building...where many a party was hosted during it's hey day. A lot of my friends lived there.

[SameBzdury]

Machine operator is a total idiot and debil.

[ribinoct76]

what a fuckin trumpet, the jib probably saved his life deflecting the rumble coming down. Surely this idiot cant get another job in demolition.

[xXLiamisawesomeXx]

silly cristian doesnt beleive in gravity.

[drag00n77]

haha vegas is full of idiots and this video demonstrates it so well...

[xXLiamisawesomeXx]

@drag00n77 ummmm..... I think..... YOU.. Umm..... you know what nevermind it wouldnt matter

[drag00n77]

@xXLiamisawesomeXx town full of idiots......

[davisotj1]

idiot

[Sodiumreactor]

I think he did more damage to it trying to get it out than the original hit it took from the "head". Shoulda just got a backhoe and dug out that boom. Im seeing hydraulic lines blowing off like fireworks at the 4th of july

[knaxl]

@Sodiumreactor You're right. The operator very likely was under considerable shock, and not among the smartest people, to begin with.

[dany080]

did he really do that?????Type of a guy,i know it better ruined a nice peace of a machine and dellayed theyr work...Price?

[Oli92Technik]

which brand is that machine??

[seattlehawkins]

Mexicans! Can't live with em' Can't kill em'

[shizyaself]

hydrolic oil everywere!!! joker

[flagboy73]

Shut it stepulevicius, you are a fanny!!!

[stepulevicius]

mate get some skills before taking down that size buildings

[pigjubby]

He's forcing the it before the boss shows up. Now a REAL operator has to come and remove him.

[pigjubby]

No kidding, I bet if you would have asked a kid what was going to happen, he would have told you that. Really bad operator all the way. Take away the base before the top? Did anyone not see that coming? Bad operator and bad supervisor.

[pomberoi]

very bad operator!

[edcoondog]

5:33 POOF goes the hydraulic line!!! hahhaha. I'd laughe even better if at the end, a guy in a bumblebee suit got out of the machine and said "AYE AYE AAAAAYYYYEEEE!!!!!"

[stroudbike]

Is that a spray of hydraulic fluid from ruptured hoses at the end?

[bbgunfan1]

and an exavater to dont forget

[73Shakes]

Theres one born every minute.............

[pavilionking06]

What did that operator think was going to happen? I mean really.

[hunne4321]

Wie dumm ist dieser Mensch denn? Ist das in USA?

[KutWrite]

I'll bet the operator's heart sank to his knees. Mine would've.

[pastorgeorgem]

ummmm

[oSUMMITo800]

hahaha!

[Daemonarch2k6]

The terminator has been terminated! ;)

[fields911]

what i want to know is. . . . what did he think would happen if he repeated to tear away the support for the head of the building.... it would just float there and wave at him??? no...

[ChavesPatryka]

I remember when El Conquistador Hall had the highest elevator in northern New Mexico....it was brand new when I hit campus.

[Metallverarbeiter]

"Looks like it wouldn't reach high enough" Yes so it looks like.

you wold need en bigger machine

[tomstickland]

Looks like it wouldn't reach high enough. The cab was further away from the building than I was expecting though.

[xRaGxproductionsx]

@irish42matic i know a lot of children and puppies that enjoy playing in hard hat areas.

[Dibby59]

Could this be the same operator as in "Excavator Accident".

I am dumfounded how these morons can't comprehend the danger they place themselves in by sitting under an overhanging structure, especially in a longreach machine which is about a hundred times slower in slew reaction time.

[irish42matic]

What an idiot! What if there were a child playing with a puppy under there?

[Cat325D]

Der Typ dürfte bei mir nur Schubkarre fahren - und das nur auf einem markierten Kreidestrich auf dem Boden!!!

[alanjones1955]

the stupid arse should have killed him self

[conoba]

Well. That as stupid.

[lillivagabond]

i pecorai di una volta facevano piu bella figura ... nn ditemi ke questo e un escavatorista xke cambio mestiere ,,,

[15firekid]

no your doing it wrong

[britdemo]

should not be alloud to do demo,just build a pile of crush so ya can reach my 3 year old knows this,my mum,sister,gran and dog know this

[TimDriver77]

noob

[Cobra983demo]

haha this guy is a joke he needs to learn how to trip building fucking idiot

[dulciaan8]

Im not an expert but... I saw that one comin...

[Fischvore]

@dulciaan8 Yes, what a geek! He has no physical knowledge.

[victron6]

double dumb ass on you!!

[6marco5]

IDIOT !!!

[CHRISPATCH69]

what a wanker...all he had to do was make the pile of rubble that he was sitting on hire so he could reach the top...its not rockit scinence

[FFmichael109]

the problem is he couldnt reach it without getting in the danger zone which is bad hence the word DANGER ZONE so he had to undermine it

[addyracks]

why didn't he just take the top pice by pice

[hungrooster]

SEYA LATER Im goin on BREAK!

[reachingskies]

that driver should be taken off his licence - how can someone demolish a building in such a xxx way...

[Letillo1]

Pero a quien se le ocurre demoler asi???

[zatoth13]

i'm guessing the guy was a civil engineer

[qwerty123456789jhdtg]

What a surprise, hopefully he was killed, so that the average IQ in the world would increase

[zatoth13]

idiot

[brickford27]

THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!

he could have hammered it from behind to stay out of debri range (thats if the jcb couldnt reach the top?)

BOSS SAYS HERE'S YA P45 YOU'RE FIRED LOL

[hurc46]

the funny thing is that if he sorted himself out the machine is quiet capable of reaching the top of the building . he could of easily worked the top off without undermining it ..wot a nugget

[MetalGuitarest666]

well he should have been to the side of it.. i'm even smarter then that.. also did anyone notice the tubes broke? on the backhoe

[NLBanditNL]

Oooh, that's one boss who's not happy with the results .. Great advertising as well ...

[zexa84]

this is the most stupid driver in the world...that a fuck did he espect to hapend....!!!!???what a moron my god!!!!

[snedie69er]

Such a big man you are, unable to spell and all.

[realcelestialphoenix]

looking at the height of the track hoe- it isnt tall enough to reach that final floor.

[stavy75]

seems a bit over the top just for a prank they must have reenforced the cab or something, they'd be *straight *off the site if that was genuine

[otowise]

you would need a JCB to clear the shit out of the cab after that happened

[PictureHouseCinema]

Large overhanging bit! Hmm, it's really obvious. Pity these demolition guys don't share our foresight.

[rutlandplace]

This wants to die.Idiot

[mikomikokagamin]

Crazy!!　積んだ荷物を下から抜くのと同じ。

[ayrtonhathaway]

what a silly driver at least he could have done it with style us english could have had that building down quicker and safer by using two machines and smaller one to tidy up after the large rig have pulled it down it would be flaterned within a day

[kisstv1]

HHAHAHA !!!!! that machine thing got OWNED !!!! LOL

[Electrozonelectronic]

It's wierd how you can become so focused on the job that you forget about everything else. He just wanted to smash the building and would probably have used his bare hands if the crane wasn't man enough for the job.

[ImTheSecretSquare]

lol, I'm just imagining this scene with some guy yelling "Noooooooooo" at the machine operator in slow motion. He had at least two and a half minutes to think "This MIGHT be a bad idea."

[fhaker1]

mmm, not a smart man

[judgeroybeen]

Thats a neat piece of machinery

[Bretty135]

Should have used implosion.

[notacapridriver]

wot a numpty wot else can i say!!!

[crazyspiderhero]

what a freakin retard

[IBuBoNiKplAgUeI]

why didn't he push it from the other side?

[class37s]

Stupid operator......should have pushed it off from the other side. He deserved to have the top fall on his cab for his stupidity. You could see it coming.

[024reredrum]

the operator should not have restarted his machine he certainly did allot more damage when he tried to get it free.

[lbdnb]

Hes not worthy of his life.

[pcoffensive]

This is what happens when you dont educate your population properly.

[mikac4444]

what do he expect to happend when he would cut lover part of the roof, inbecil!!!

[mastifiorulamitongla]

"It's a supporting wall, Basil!"

[ponyopika]

こんなバカな仕事するのは何処の国の人間だ？

[Aprenticewoodspoiler]

Complete idiot

[ponyokana]

バカか？こうなる事くらい分からなかったのかね？どんな壊し方し­てるんだろ？作業員はド素人かな？

[Barnekkid]

私はあなたは良い結果を出すこととします。どうしてお尻詳細賢明­です。

[sorry09]

chinese hookers

[wojti29]

ten w koparce to tuman do potęgi

[firehawk072]

its not the machine its the man who is driving it! so stupid!!

[gremlinbipe]

War wohl nicht so intelligent...

[bezvezeceda]

The machine design is stupid, things like this just have to happen.

[koriko88]

Fixing that was probably some equipment mechanic's overtime project.

[CapitalNick]

Well I could have told you that was going to happen.

[ACDCgoneLEGO]

JSSTyger,your right.if you were goin to do that,you push it on the other side in stead of undercutting it out.

[limwad]

good comment anybody should of seen that wa about to happen fuckin gobshite

[constructioncartoons]

what is his freaking problem?

[speedfreakian2]

what exactly did he think was going to happen?!!! And then he stupidly tries to yank it out of there, and I'm thinking "err, I'm sure there's broken hydraulic lines in there, that's not going to work. and sure enough, they spew hydraulic fluid!I'm assuming he stopped when all the hydraulic fluid had been dumped on the ground and the thing quit working all together!

[chriswhiteisawanker]

yep those hydraulics are gunna cost a fortune to replace

[JSSTyger]

Oh nice he broke some hydraulic lines trying to pull it out.

[JSSTyger]

That was kinda idiotic. Fucking overhanging section and you start undercutting it. What do you think is gonna happen? I saw that coming from the very beginning.

[HAMMERJsn]

you gotta love the company logo plastered across the world on you tube.

Hope the insurance company doesn't see this. Of all the safety/warning stickers they put on these machines I wonder if one says " Do not operate underneath building to be demolished."

[CNJDUDE]

Hello...McFly.. anyone home..........

[juanbigone]

Stay in school,kids.

This is the kind of schmuck dropouts become.

[spikeybeast28]

but you get paid almost triple of the average wage!!!

[bonesaw08]

these shmucks are actually highly educated you fucktard. go back to flippin burgers with ronald

[rrrohan2288]

yet they still fucked up. i mean if average joes on YouTube saw that coming from a mile away surley this guy should of too

[bonesaw08]

they are still lacking in common sense

[chriswhiteisawanker]

everyone fucks up once in a while.

This might have been a one in a hundred thing.

Anyway this might have been the apprentice so he would be bound to fuck up lol

[rrrohan2288]

evryone fucks up yes as is evident in this video

[simonmitchellbird]

f*cking idiot!

[ONLYBAYINDAVILLAGE]

give me my demolition arm bac please

[LaserDarkDX]

LOL!!!

And we call those guys demolition experts.

[lmilcin]

Well... actually... they did quite a good job demolishing the excavator ;-)

[ShermanM1]

yeah they can demolisch everything and diffferent things at one time.^^

[ossifa]

was that somebodys last day?

[cooleo7777]

lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lolololololololololo

[1066D]

LOL! Nice wreck! You can buy 100 Cans for the cost of that machine. Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Domiminicans, and 250 Guats too! Give the dummies some sledgehammers and save money. They'd do a better job than that dumb ass operator. What a stupid flick. 4 Row houses, meals on wheels, and the building would be down with some hard work and less shame than that disgrace. And less cost too! That long reach machine is a huge loss. 17 third world coffins would save 59% . Do the math geek.

[real1abcda]

how is that dumb ass constrution worker if i was his boss he would never been on my team .... anyone with observation skills can see that was going to happen

[radeakins]

Buildings enjoy revenge too!

[molotov47]

It's a pity there still are some people who work at construction sites without basic knowledge of physics. Thank God it was only a demolition.

[superfly05]

it was a resident hall and had to be demoed because it didnt meet today's fire codes. LMAO "ok i think thats enough for today"

[punkoidschitzoid]

sack the bastard , u could see that happenin. !!!!!

[Plataea]

Agreed! you can actually see hydraulic fluid spraying out from broken lines toward the end~

[jimmyhillsapoof82]

You should have got wee Fred Dibnah in to fell the building or Safedem LTD Dundee.

Amateur's..

[MaxxFordham]

AmateurS (withOUT the errant apostrophe).

[jimmyhillsapoof82]

Cheers for the English lesson pal.

[MaxxFordham]

You're very welcome, Jimmy.

[stevey1fastrac]

how did u eventualty get that out of there thn looks rather trikky nd thm pipes wudnt of been cheap ouchhh

[gtb111]

Too fucking looooooong vid

[1cheshire]

Was that his last day on the job? shit happens but still a costly accident with all the broken lines.

[GutZGator]

This what happens when you use NON UNION SCAB LABOR.

UNION PRIDE!!!

[deadph03n1x]

"if i have to go, i will take you with me :P " - building

[rcman1234]

Stupid operator!

[digitalbroadcaster]

Even though I would have punched a hole at the back of that lift shaft to enable rear toppling of that structure, accidents do happen. I have NO idea how to even START one of these machines, let alone demolish at 100ft in the air. I hope the guy didn't lose his job even though everybody could see what was going to happen. This fella didn't, otherwise he would have stopped. He didn't have a viewing vantage-point as good as the onlookers. Many gallons of hydraulic oil pumping out too, I see.

[rockuzONE]

this was dumb, why not blow da muthafucker up???????

[garycalgary]

sheesh that is stupid

i am assuming that guy was yelling at you that you were too close.

smashy smashy, love it

[brett21]

Um.... DUH! What idiots!

[nicn9876]

haha this shit is funny the operator of that excavator is my brothers friend stupid yes but shit happens ..........and ps all you people who said you would kick his ass i would truly love to see that youll have another thing coming

[jba1995]

I have never seen such silliness when it comes to demolition.

[whymfrost]

Everybody saw that coming, right? LOL

[MYRDDINAPGERAINT]

Homer J Simpson Demolition PLC

[zaxis350]

Anybody have the name and phone number of the operator?? I like to reccomend him to the local union hall!!!!

[ShermanM1]

And what does he think this mashine costs? he can never pay it.

[ShermanM1]

this is suiside and i would fire him if he would do more silly things like this.

[maidenhim43]

my uncle works fot that company and he was there

[vanommen]

I have a demolitien company and if that was a machinist of us than i would kick him so hard that he would think he was in heaven stupid ass hole a kid can see that what he's doing very stupid and dangerous is he could be killed whit it and the excavator is totall los

[Signaler]

This guy was really stupid. I also would kick his ass out of my company that he wouldn't ever know if he was was man or woman.

[urretardedreject]

this operator was obviously not 2 bright! loved the hydraulic hoses just popping one after another at the end, and its not a crane but an excavator

[kirkamac]

In the fall of 1969, when I was 18 yr old, I was one of the first group of residents to live in the newly constructed, 9 story high, "State of the Art" El Conquistador Highrise dorm. It's strange to discover that 38 years later it was torn down as an abandoned, derelict, obsolete, fire hazard, relic of the past. Me and my buddies had some great times in that highrise home in 1969-70.

[darsdm]

02:58 - moral #227 - if you wanna do a little implosion you must know that you can die because of debris falling towards you

[tattoodangel39]

so sad down goes the tallest building in lil ol Vegas NM

[seka1986]

hehe, the crane got broke.

[mikediggers]

stupid driver

[afftonpimp]

Stoned operator?

[shiffty420]

Poor Hoe didnt deserve that. Hoe Abuse.

[scally1288]

that was bount to happen how stupid could that opertator get wat was he thinkin

[moderndukes]

Is there any video of this exploding?

[grassiew]

Good stuff is about 3 minutes in.
