New* Birkenhead Crane Explosion/Demolition

[glenn1340]

So sad to see this machinery go. This what we get when the country`s run by bean counters. In a few years we`ll have no manufacturing left. I remember a few years ago a politician saying "we`ll let others get their hands dirty while we look after their money for them" Look where that`s got us. Fucking prick

quality demolition, classic govenment tactic....dont need it now so demolish it.....but will need a replacement in about 10 years....sounds like the school demolition project

Explosive demo and then ground snip and clip is better and safer than the old way.

I would have thought it would be safer to dismantle them whilst they are standing, like they did with some old cranes at our harbour many years ago.

I would have thought it would be costly if those sheds got damaged where they fell. Did the sheds get any damage?

Great video though.

gawd didnt even know that this was happening until after it did! good job though, very professional

[RichardWhelan82]

it is much quicker to knock it down and then a group of men chop it up on the ground rather than going to the top and cutting bits off and lowering each part down.

why did they have to blow it up and not just dismantle the way it was assembled? cool vid tho.
