Demolition of Garner

[Fmaster25]

And this is the end result of demo company budget cuts! Guy workin the crane is probably half asleep while he's doing this.

@Fmaster25 that is actually very DELLICATE and DANGEROUS work. The craine swinging weight around at that hight could easily cripple and/or topple the craine...not to mentiont that the heavilyy reinforced concrete ring at the top of the structure is holding the majority of the weight and stress of the structure. explosives may have been overted due to what may lay under the building...i.e.subway, aqueducts, protected state/military infrastucture...But I bet they ate it on labor co$t alone ;-).

FLY A PLANE THROUGH IT!!! it will fall much faster that way!! lol

see you in 30 years

[hippo625]

Question? They demolish buildings with explosives even when there are building around. I see one single building ALONE away and using little effective balls. Just blow the crap out of it

one question is that, why they didnt use a bigger ball instead of the little ball

[manga12]

I like old buildings mate but the latter ones I care little about from like the 60s on anyway, the biger ball is more stress on the crane at that hight, and it could be a big ball its just the hight makes it look small.

Hello! Like the rest of the world knows what Garner is....

[CelticFireChild]

it had to be cheaper to implode that place, other than renting that giant crane for how long?

@ 2:37 ... If there was any doubt that this was Texas, the 7 or 8 almost identical big pickup trucks parked and driving past would make it obvious.

[ralphflyboy0]

me too , it looks like wimp

[Txman1996]

All you need is a 12 pack. The university could have capitalize on this by selling tickets. I think an implosion would have worked out just fine. Wonder if they will implode Steen Hall.

I had Garner roof access because I worked for housing. The view was cool and it was fun yelling at people walking to the library. Good times. Rip Garner. We won't miss your pie shaped rooms.

Screw college! I want this job!! :P

[remo2012]

I danced in front of it so it would love on forever!

[georgewig]

Wasn't that the place where you did your evolution of dance?

[Evandolive]

no more purple light after victories... how will Lumberjacks know that the Jacks have won?

[remo2012]

Too many buildings around for explosions!

[GhostBear3067]

@remo2012 I heard the issue was too much azbestos in the structure

[skeebert]

@remo2012 not at all, check out tallest building ever exploded. they implode like a 200 storey building like right downtown new york. using a wrecking ball is stupid. prolly took like 2 weeks.

[juniwilliams]

is there a faster way to do it. Like TNT or some kind of explosion

[remo2012]

Too old to fix, I guess it was cheaper to build a new dorm.

[xs1ner]

why? what was the reason for getting rid of it?

GARNER FAIL goverment WIN
