MegaStructures - Boeing 747 Breakdown - HD - P2 of 2

For years, when a jumbo jet reached the end of its 30-year lifespan, it would end up as scrap or rot on a runway. But at the Evergreen Air Centre in Arizona, planes past their prime are recycled. Recycling is important to our future. If we continue to take and take, there will be nothing left for our children's grandchildren. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Reduce the amount and toxicity of trash you throw away and Reuse containers and products. Recycle as much as possible and buy products with recycled content. Please enjoy in 1080p HD, rate thumbsup and comment.

An interesting documentation, but it still makes me sad to see such an beautiful and proud airplane beeing ruptured into parts... Anyway, thanks for uploading!

to those who have been working on the boeing 747, be it the designing, building or flying the plane, don't watch this documentary, it will hurt alot

@sihanling yeah i'd say your right.

@krashdown102 its all for the show. this job for this company was probably contracted and arranged by a tv producer. if the team had all the equipment then this documentary would not be exciting for the average mass of tv viewers. so they were possibly selected because they were not sized and fully equipped for the job. tv producers are very sly.

@cme98 I don't think they had the running time to show that

[pacific303]

@SPmQQse No, he meant, 'meant'. lolol

[cme98]

ok, so they separate the "iron" from the "aluminum", what about the Titanium? ---the rarest & most expensive metal on the plane... How do they separate that?

And what about the gold & platinum built into salvageable electronic & mechanical devices?Do they simply throw this shit away? i doubt it.
