Its TOTALLY AMAZING how steel workers do this, cut this part, OBVIOUSLY will cause the opening of the two colums and collapsing the crane OVER YOU

poor workers and poor cameraman

Too bad amongst all those onlookers there wasn't anyone to film it collapsing. Even the guy who filmed everything BUT the collapse, didn't have enough pixels to challenge Pong to a match!

Struoooth Sheila. 😅

That looked like a very efficient way to demolish a crane. :-)

Couldn't see video ,red flags all over the screen,whata mess

When u try to make a V stronger than an A.

I also appreciate all the surplus personel in the danger area for the vital task of wandering and staring at the one guy doing work....

We do this in formwork, it's an art called drop stripping...

That's nothing. You ought to have seen how they built this crane from the top down...

What are you whinging about it's down isn't it? It just happened a bit fast

"Well, it's demolished ain't it? What more d'ya want mate?"

Anyone sure this is Australia???

morons

Good job the camera got that puddle.

Where and when did this happen?

Camera man really? Go home!!

Darwin's and Newton's laws hard at work.

It's only termites holding the damn thing together.

What happened the camera guy shit his pants and messed up the whole thing . rip to the crew. The guy welding new something was gonna happen why not stop and say fuck this boss.

Looks like the early 90's

I don't know who was worse..the burner or the cameraman.

Unfortunately some people don't know what they are doing, and occasionally death is the result!

Bad that man. Been in that situation. Not nice.

Far from the action and no possible instance of being injured and still CANNOT stay on target with the camera.

how many deid

3.46

Safety wasn't at the top of the list in those days

These men at work all had vegemite sandwiches for lunch

Little did Sir Isaac Newton realise how much trouble he was unleashing when he invented Gravity.

It splits at 3:45, set it on slow and you can see it. I think what these doofuses wanted to do was to weaken it and then pull it apart from a safe distance. Pity, none of these fools are engineers. I mean three more guys just standing there in the danger zone.

*That moment when you realize it's everyone's first day on the job and that the company was only founded yesterday.* 🤣

AMATEURS !

I was there that Day...standing on the wharf...nobody died ..guy cutting the Aframe jumped out of boomlift and landed in a hollow spot left by a bogged frontend loader earlier in the day...engineered demolition....NOT....still gives me nightmares

Who is worse? The camera man or the demo team?

Not enough women working construction!!! Where are those feminists????

How many men died in this stupid crap

believe it or not ....no one was injured that day ...I was one of those standing on the pier that day ..very very lucky guy in the boom lift

This is not a professional demolition company at all. I believe a professional company would have used shaped charges and C-4 or a similar configuration. Takes a little bit to set up but when the button is pushed it all comes down. While everyone is safely well away from the collapse.

Alrighty and it's off to the pub.

goblok

PUT IT THIS WAY........Idiots start at the bottom first.....Should have stripped the top assembly first.... They wanted a quick , cheap drop , quick , hmmm yes , cheap ????... Blow the trunnions off and it will just fall like a baby into your arms.......Di*k head with the forktruck.....!!!!!!!

1:03 wonder why, the forks could have been closer together? That guy is an accident waiting to happen! 3:55 VERY NICE!

What the hell

How many were injured/dead?

*that's some shonky business right there*

insane contractor . How many died there?

Unglaublich... soviel geballte Dummheit... 🤦🤦🤦

Looks like the Dean Brothers at work... Ha ha ha. I just can't believe the lack of intelligence and safety on that site. Maybe it is a remake of the three stooges.
