1997 Super 8 footage of New York City's illegal demolition of 537-539 East 5th Street. People's belongings and pets were still inside, as was resident Brad Will...who emerged atop the building as the wrecking claw began destruction.

  • Guliani was a idiotic very cruel mayor who hated anyone, not lucky enough to be making 36, thousand a year or more after taxes. New York has rent more higher than the rest of the country, due to greedy crook landlords. Rent control laws have been eroded, thanks to Koch who was really a Republican, Pataki, Guliani. Dhcr since Guliani became mayor does not check to see if rates are true that landlords are registering there. Landlords are doing rate sneaking there, circumventing rent control laws.

  • this is sad, RIP 5th street and Brad --

  • Didn't brad also speak out for the community gardens in New York?

  • It is only right to want to live perfectly in an imperfect world.

  • its sad how brad blamed himself for this no one cared that they were there till it became a hazard... even though it wasnt theirs they should have been warned

  • this is exactly the kind of bullshit bullying you can expect from Ghouliani. He needs to be stopped fully and completely, he would be worse than Bush, if you can believe that.

  • ciao Brad.

  • I feel sorry for the man who lost his life indeed. I wonder where the people were who resided in this building? Why wasn't some effort put into at least saving the animals? Why was that allowed? How would the demolition team feel if someone came plowing into their home with a bulldozer and killed their pets? Guess there is no more humanity left in the world.

  • RIP brad....

    you were a great man

    will miss you

  • You know a different Spaz. The Spaz of Tompkins Square is still alive.
