15 Structure Demolitions GONE WRONG

Sometimes older buildings and structures need to be demolished, to clear space for new buildings. Usually demolitions go as planned, but sometimes mistakes do happen. Let's take a look at some structure demolitions gone wrong!

"The Miami Condo collapsed on its own". Talk about a foreshadowing...

[@eonaon6914]

I personally would be more worried after seeing that if I lived in any of the surrounding buildings and wonder if the same company made mine.

[@VanitiGyrl]

Man!!! I immediately ran to the comments after the Miami building.

[@denverdubois5835]

I know! Sure got my attention fast. That must have been terrifying to witness. I wonder how many of those big Miami beach condo buildings are barely-standing deathtraps.

[@onexlifeonly132]

@@denverdubois5835 I'm sure there's a few ticking time bombs. I just really hope all this has opened their eyes to what such neglect could do. Unfortunately they wouldn't look at the people deceased from their neglect as the most important factor. It would be the possible loss of income they wouldn't be making if the building collapsed as well for their reputation. A damn shame this happened in such a modern age.. Not because of mother nature or a freak accident; rather neglect/greed. Something that could have been prevented if they looked at human life (customers life) as the most valuable thing. No, they're only $$$ signs until their neglect/greed catches up with them. Value money over human life is the motto.

[@meckelbu]

Agreed, I thought of the same immediately when the presenter mentioned that the condo collapsed unexpectedly since the structure was weaker than expected, the implication being that it had such critically minimal structural margin left that normal pre-weakening and drilling for the explosives left it unable to bear its own dead load - so it's possible that in ten years time or whatever it might have collapsed on its own had it been left standing and occupied.

[@PizzaHorse]

The fact that only one person died though... Could have been way worse. May or may not have been that person.

[@Tibs_Budapest]

The other guy next to him in the crane basket survived as the building collapsed under him and he was hanging in the basket.

[@ThereWasNoFreeName]

They cut supports one by one instead of cutting leaving some behind, that made structure very unbalanced (one side had all supports and other had none) so the roof fell, and because it was very heavy it also made enough force to take down the wall. Tragic event caused not by mistake but sheer stupidity.

I remember the Crawford plant. Wasn’t far from where I lived.

Looking at it today (at the time of writing) there’s barely anything left. With Crawford gone, there’s one coal fired plant standing in Chicago (inactive as well) and that is the Fisk Generating Station, standing since 1903. (Current units inside since 1968)

I wonder how many of these buildings contain asbestos and how often it's 'accidentally' overlooked. Removing the stuff is very expensive and I'm sure oftentimes it's illegally ignored because they know that any illness or death related to it would take years to manifest and would be impossible to trace back to them and their demolition.

[@Dutch3DMaster]

In some cases the explosion site is sprayed heavily with water to stop a possible spread of asbestos. Not sure about the US but here all the alarms go off of they find it before demolishing it (blowing up buildings is reasonably uncommon here because the structures in The Netherlands are usually not big enough to do so, but also in the way of to much other buildings to do it reasonably cheaply. We did however try it with a quay somewhere, and screwed it up by using to much explosives, shattering windows and in a couple of cases cracking walls :P

[@GizmoFromPizmo]

I beg your pardon! The CIA taught the world that in order to bring down a tall building straight into its own footprint, all you need do is hit it in the side with an airplane. This happened twice in a row on September 11, 2001 in a very public display. It worked so well, in fact, that a third building fell into its own footprint later that day WITHOUT the need for a third airplane. That's right, three buildings / two planes. So don't tell me that it's hard to bring down a building in a controlled implosion. The CIA showed the world that it happens all the time - if the politics is right.

Top comment material right here. It's sad when not one, but TWO skyscrapers come down perfectly inside its own footprint, at near free fall speed but if you dare question anything you get the "conspiracy theorist" label. Can't have you being taken seriously or anything crazy like that!

Especially tower 7

@@brooklynyte I agree. Honestly looking back at that day it makes me wonder how stupid we citizens really are under the government's powers. And now they have us believing that covid-19 really exist this is just another operation for us to believe something they tell us. The end result is to inject poison into our blood so we get vaccinated

The unrelated cheesy stock footage is not a good choice of illustrating the story.

@@felixspaghetti2611 I agree, much more interesting to have some additional information about what is being shown.

I remember that brewery complex just outside of Brisbane that they failed to demolish on the 1st go, there were running jokes that beer fairies were holding it up, as a Nation, we are a bit reluctant to knock down anything beer related.

"Russia Annexed Crimea" is an odd way of talking about war crimes...

I reckon the Royal Canberra Hospital implosion in 1997 should have made the list with one dead and nine injured. I was there opposite the lake but didn't want to wait around and went back to Sydney instead. Watched it on the news that night: they had used " a little bit" too much explosives and the people injured and killed had been on the opposite shore. Not suggesting that the ones making the list weren't interesting, I enjoyed watching it.

I am from little village and can attest to the smoke and dust. I live on the opposite side to where the building was and the dust reached all the way over to us. It was crazy

13:53... That building in Miami that collapsed on its own accord, are just like all the buildings in Miami. The greedy construction companies charge more money, but they build with really cheap materials, find short cuts, and hire inexperience workers. Casing point, Surfside Condo collapse and Florida International University pedestrian bridge.

"Why was it necessary to carry out the work in the middle of a pandemic"? Surely... What were they supposed to do then, just sit and roll their thumbs for two years? Who's gonna pay their rent?

[@fredachildress3728]

I live here in Dallas, and most of us wished that they had braced it, because we loved it!!!! The damned development that those developers are going build will be only for the damned wealthy. Personally, they would have been better off leaving the leaning tower of Dallas alone. That wasn't the only building there in Miami that came down by itself. People are really, really stupid. Greed is the number one thing on people's minds.

[@Ajwad99]

I’m just amazed at how strong some of these buildings are

Strangely they're not using jet fuel to take buildings down. 😉#9/11
