Clips of BC Place deflating put together

Here are all the clips of BC Place deflating strung together. BC Place deflated today. I work next door in the Pivotal building and happened to be in the right place at the right time and got some great footage.

It never occured to me that the other clips were 'annoying'. I thought that people could forward this clip on to other people if they really wanted to see the whole thing strung together. If they want to forward just clip number 2, for instance, where it really rips open, I thought that it would be cooler to give the user the option of just forwarding that clip. Do you really think I should take all the other clips down?

it's just the fact that there are sooooo many clips that going from one to the other is annoying. besides, its much more interesting to see the whole thing than just a small clip. why just forward clip 2 when u could forward the whole thing? its only 2 min. in length.

[skonenblades]

Well yeah, exactly. That's my point. Forward *this* clip to people you think would find it interesting. I don't think I'll take the other ones down just yet. Thanks for your comments. I'll probably take the other ones down in a week or two.

now why didn't u do this in the first place?

[skonenblades]

I didn't have the software. And I was preoccupied with getting them to the television station as quick as possible. It was all pretty rushed. I didn't have the capability to do this until a day or two later.

Excellent. Great to see you've put this together.

[skonenblades]

Cheers. Looks good. Watermarked and strung together. Should have done it like this in the first place.

@vancouverlifeguard you're not a cso by the name of John is it?

[alirodah]

Very good coverage.

[vancouverlifeguard]

A public enquiry is needed to investigate how the original roof was damaged. The Crown Corporation intentionally allowed ice to form on the membrane, which contributed either wholly, or in part, to the 2007 collapse.

[vancouverlifeguard]

The stadium operators acted contrary to their Duties to use heat and ensure zero accumulation of ice on the Teflon Fibreglass membrane. The $320,000 cost of using heat was redirected to bonuses. These acts and/or omissions could have killed someone.

The roof needs to be certified by an Engineers.

i thought this was a complete video, no gaps.....

[darvel58]

Its so the viewers can see the progression in it deflating... It wouldn't be cool just to watch something already deflated just sitting there....

[canadiancatgreen]

this is damage caused from a storm

[paynemacleod]

Controlled deflation? Right. With all the pieces flying out of it.
