You're right. Consider it a bonus of cool non-HVAC stuff falling from rooftops. (This building had their exterior HVAC equipment at ground level a short distance to the west of the building.) Here is the cell antenna discovering gravity: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2bcmaZmeJyYiZI

The RCA building was an iconic part of the Rosslyn skyline. I remember it from my childhood being so imposing and modern. Years later - would they save it? No. The demand to extract as much money as possible has Arlington re-making itself much the same as Las Vegas. But there's a reason - The views of D.C. from there are absolutely spectacular! With that, I still remain hopeful that they will spare the original Rosslyn Marriott. It was one of the first J.W. Marriott hotels and I believe was built on the land where the original Hot Shoppes was. From the original Watergate clandestine parking garage to the Marriott and Orleans House, that part of Arlington has a very rich history. I am glad to have been to all those places when they were active.

I love seeing them sort out the parts in different piles, knowing they are made of different metals and such. Some old buildings are just not that safe, and more likely to catch fire. Sprinkler systems might not work in these commercial and residential buildings once abandoned. It's nice to see how gutted in inside it before the demo, showing just how much work goes into this and people recycling materials.
