[@andyharman3022]

It's a pleasure to watch experts do their jobs.

[@TheLoizeauxGroupLLC]

Thanks for watching!

[@Hydrazine1000]

Always! Doesn't matter which industry.❤

[@MrZygy3]

Impressive Job 🎉

[@TheLoizeauxGroupLLC]

Thank you!

[@StreuB1]

Absolute precision, absolute professionalism. Unreal that the tracks were all open less than 3 hours later.

[@TheLoizeauxGroupLLC]

Thank you!

It's always a treat when Friday rolls around and you find a CDI notification in your inbox.

[@domosautomotive1929]

Especially on Thursday

[@iancanuckistan2244]

@@domosautomotive1929 That's what retirement does to you, every day is the same.

[@manceraleon]

I used to work there years ago, sad it's gone.

[@danwhitaker9168]

Yep, depressing to see it go.

[@wdwerker]

I so appreciate the little extras like crew setting up the cameras, information about the job and the care taken to avoid inconvenience to the services in the area.

[@jonbicho9840]

Another job that had the home theater subwoofers working overtime. Love it. Keep them coming.

[@claudevieaul1465]

00:18 Cheers for that mate!! 😎👍😜 It's always fun to see the order in which the charges detonate - first taking out the last structural supports, and then the kickoff. A clean job well done 🙏

[@TheLoizeauxGroupLLC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@BuCket-on3mo]

CDI keeps chugging along🚂 Great work! Awesome video. Crazy how little room you guys need to drop a building. Blows my mind...

[@svenhaheim]

Utterly amazing job you guys do.

[@mrwest5552]

Sincerely enjoy the video description - teaching me it is not simply drilling holes and placing explosive charges. Well Done.

[@MarkMLl_uk]

Congratulations on another fine job, and particular thanks for the detailed explanation of the circumstances surrounding the job. I would like to think that UP also expressed their appreciation...

[@GCSol]

I'm always amazed how much dust these implosions kick up.

[@rubegoldburg7841]

CDI & it's people REALLY know what they are doing. 👍

[@toweri_li]

The gorgeously cinematic opening sequence of this video is above and beyond what you have given us so far! Fantastic story telling! [Edit: Not to mention the lowest bass frequencies retained on the audio track. My subwoofer loved it!]

[@TravisWBurton]

Another drop that was perfectly done, just as always. CDI = Nothing but the best.

[@pilotgrrl1]

I love that you've added the captions with explanations of hazards, and how you got everything set up to take the structures down. I miss the guy with the deadpan voice counting down, though.😊😊

[@larsjensen1358]

Wow, what a planning, perfect job, the building really vent down on the spot, amazing to see. Thanks for the fantastic documentation👍

[@CarbonPhysics]

Such incredible precision, that was incredible. Thank you for sharing

[@toneale]

Have watched most of your videos over the years. Much better production quality on this one.

[@thomasglessner6067]

Bravo! Always fascinating to watch your expertise. Thanks for taking us along.

[@lukestertv4337]

I was there. It was awesome. We met a guy named Bob. He was so cool. He was like taking pictures and stuff he asked questions to me he gave us cards. We will never forget him, and we also saw two people which one saw veteran Stadium come down in a airplane

[@imbok]

Very clean, professional work. Thorough preparation yields great results!

[@TheLoizeauxGroupLLC]

Thank you very much!

[@JohnShinn6078]

The eye clean and ear blowouts at the beginning made me feel fuzzy warm, ha ha. 0:17 👍🤠 Thanks CDI!...SWOON! 👍😍

[@TheLoizeauxGroupLLC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@brucebinde5303]

Professionalism at it's best. Great work!

[@busher69]

I saw a documentary on CDI many years ago, they're the best at controlled demolition. These guys are true Pros

[@TheLoizeauxGroupLLC]

Thank you!

[@craigw.miller9820]

No countdown?? You guys are awesome

[@TravisWBurton]

The countdown was there, it just wasn't as loud as countdown in past videos.

[@OldNavyAirdale]

BRAVO! I love to watch your work!

[@AndrewBeals]

A hop, skip, and a jump from here! I wish I could have watched it in person!

[@jimsvideos7201]

That building was evidently built pretty stoutly if it took that much energetic material to demolish.

[@RobertCraft-re5sf]

Amazing job 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 you can see how she fell away from the tracks.

[@ydvu4]

Thanks for the detailed explanation! Really enjoy your work and videos.

[@GreyJedi11]

Ahhhh! Now I know why this was such a pretty take-down! You guys are AMAZING!!

[@ChrisB257]

Outstanding! Could see first shot series for corner then everything else - collapse was absolutely excellent due to skillful pattern design. :)

[@vic.blaine]

"Remco reopened the outer UP mainline track just 24 minutes after the implosion." That's some seriously coordinated work and pre-planning. Impressive. As well as the entire project.

[@eliteman7685]

Wow, that was an awesome job of bringing that down!!

[@matthew9363]

nice description of the tasks involved.

[@abpsd73]

Virtual Railfan had a pretty good shot of the event with a camera they have on a building down the track.

[@dianelandis9429]

How can I find this? Also, a virtual railfan.

[@wkk9925]

All the blast in safety position great job!!!!!❤💯👍🏻🎉

[@TheLoizeauxGroupLLC]

Thank you!!

[@SJR_Media_Group]

If 'Form follows Function' then a perfect pile of debris follows CDI... nice job...

[@terencem8795]

A job so very well done. Nice and tidy.👏👏👏

[@bobbym6964]

Fantastic job!!

[@tonywestvirginia]

Another job well done!

[@TheLoizeauxGroupLLC]

Thank you! Thanks for watching!

[@mellissadalby1402]

(1) Beautiful (2) It's harder than it looks.

[@RogowskiBubba0864]

Great job, thank you 😊 Greetings from the Netherlands 😎

[@alexplore92]

If only we could go back in time and create a documentary of the likes for the Hudsons Department Store implosion in 1998. I was 6 years old and in Chicago at the time, but I still felt the Earth shake when those tons of bricks and mortar plummeted into their footing.

[@Mike44460]

@ 1:06, The railroad, all railroads take a dim view of anyone messing with their tracks.

[@ke6gwf]

You can imagine all the planning meetings with the railroad before this lol

[@antjeblum9034]

Perfect work💯👍👏

[@GarrettWorcester]

2:41 - Those last remaining birds were hell-bent on being hardheaded.

[@ΓιάννηςΤορνικιδης]

Love your videos ❤❤

[@TheLoizeauxGroupLLC]

Thank you for watching!

[@dianelandis9429]

Great job as usual guys! Good videos of the way the tracks were protected. Thanks for the insights. Always interesting.

[@hughsmith790]

I was interesting in knowing whether the Weld Wheel Building here in Kansas City presented you with any unusual or special challenges? The reason i ask this is because i noticed one day driving by the site prior to the implosion that half the building had already been demolished. I was wondering if, like the condos you took down in South Padre Island, did you have to remove part of the structure (the parking garage in South Padre) to get the rest of the building to end up in the drop zone without encroaching on the railroad tracks a few feet away? It was an amazing job as always. I was near by when you imploded the Century Link Building in Overland Park, KS a number of years ago and got some amazing stills of that implosion.

[@dianelandis9429]

I've watched the full-length South Padre Island video at least 3 times. Absolutely fascinating! And then they worked on the Miami condos building, and it was like: Hey! Those are my guys!

[@69A12SuperBee]

These guys are good!!👍🏻

[@Boxpok]

0:33 Ahh that beautiful whine of that EMD turbo…….

[@remmiemax3624]

Before & after pictures 😎😎👍👍👌👌

[@ke6gwf]

Love all of it, but good job on the opening shot to the Social Media Team! Lol

[@TheLoizeauxGroupLLC]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@snowgorilla9789]

Job satisfaction 10 on scale of 10

[@kenlew4945]

This actually maded onto Virtual RailFan Grab Bag because Virtual RailFan has a live feed camera in that location

[@davidperry970]

Best job ever.

[@billtimmons7071]

Never realized how therapeutic watching a UTube video could be. Makes me think about the "gravity" of the situation.

[@lokiva8540]

Imagine if CDI opened a new theatrical SFX department? "Realistic explosions".... just match up the upcoming productions, and demolition projects, and movies could have a serious upgrade to the realism factor, when what's done actually is real.

[@gs3504]

Professionals at work!

[@iangillett2488]

Perfect 👍 Minimal disruption to the railroad 😉.

[@lohphat]

I'd actually recommend turning off auto-focus and just set to infinity since the cameras are already far enough away from the action, otherwise the dust cloud and debris might cause unwanted focus changes.

[@wayneheigl5549]

you just got to love C.D.I. always perfect.

[@toddburgess6792]

How'd you like to be on the throne in that porta potty when it all pops off!

[@dianelandis9429]

LOL 😂

[@Wildstar40]

The birds on the roof were like WTF !

[@michaelp.Watermaker]

Very impressive! 🙂

[@TheLoizeauxGroupLLC]

Thank you!

[@ts_andro]

Great job!

[@TheLoizeauxGroupLLC]

Thank you!

[@pisom4314]

very nice job!!! the railroad are pricks to deal with, tell you one thing then change their minds like a baby changes diapers!!!! great job!!

[@jerryfrederick6610]

Nice!

[@TheLoizeauxGroupLLC]

Thanks!

[@SharonBranch-yq6is]

CDI is the best!

[@firealarmtechguy4444]

You guys know when the Tropicana in Las Vegas is going down?

[@dianelandis9429]

Good question...

[@joeandrews7329]

The building fell from bottom left to top right as it collapsed. From Joe. X

[@GHOOGLEMALE]

So bloody clever

[@davidsuperdavelarson6174]

Bought my fair share of wheels from them.

[@billmadison2032]

yup can't believe mine started there

[@Hambone556]

Weird, it fell at about the same speed as two other buildings...

[@JungleYT]

*Just trying to picture the control box for the explosives - L.E.D.s flashing in sequence or something?*

"I hear you knocking, but you can't come in..." Who said anything about coming in?

[@dominikmartinisko]

Cdi try released all your old videos demolishing old structures outside america like compilation

[@Tylermichernandez]

I use to go explore that building a couple years ago. There was so much graffiti inside it was so cool.

[@AdventuringwiththeS.G.O.C.C]

I had Weld's on two of my cars.

[@firestunt]

I literally thought the thumbnail was the Titanic.

[@GAIS414]

That's one way of removing that ugly graffiti.

[@lukestertv4337]

1:32

[@RobertCraft-re5sf]

It's also wonderful to see all of that ugly disgusting graffiti removed.

[@JohnShinn6078]

👍🤠

[@SupremeRuleroftheWorld]

its looks so effortless, that usually means its very not simple or effortless to make it look like that.

[@rebelyankee4458]

Just like building seven

[@Ned-p1y]

Don’t understand why they don’t do this on a rainy day

[@outby50]

Because they have to coordinate all kinds of things far in advance like security, road, and rail closures, and they can't get the weather to coordinate with them.

[@catlady8324]

“Implosion” is a very misunderstood and misused word.

[@DreamstoRealityAutomotiveTV]

Building 7…….is that you

[@P2Feener305]

I thought I seen this before

[@fistteam]

Sad though, seeing another American icon, known for producing probably the best racing wheels in the world come down…#ErasureOfHistory!
