St. Louis Helicopter Knocks Down Chimney With Wrecking Ball

[manga12]

Well on one hand I am a preservationest and like old buildings for their character, and this sounds dangerous to have a ball so high up on a chopper that could crash and hurl it even worse then if it were a crane swinging it. on the other hand this is a first time to see the use, its neat to see, and they are from indiana the state where I am from.

Now that's just cool! We had a K-Max working on a local wildfire here in New Mexico several years ago and I was amazed how maneuverable and relatively quiet it was compared to the other choppers on the job. It can carry an incredible amount of water for it's size. Great rig! :))

That gives a whole new meaning to the term high reach demolition!!
