The new church can be seen here: kzbin.infoUgkxJnTJmQIPdAxhZhGPeCbxDUOp3AHcJK5a - Extremists, please make an attempt to at least read something: This was demolished due to earthquake damage(which has always been in the description, not that such commenters tend to have much concern with reality), and a new church has since been built. Ranting about supposed anti-religious reasoning is beyond ridiculous, and an extraordinarily bad example to use this demolition as an example. Both old & new church are attached to a catholic school, and there are 2 other churches in the same town of around 1000 people. It is oversupplied with churches if anything. Go elsewhere to rant about fictional problems, you have nothing in common with reasonable religious or non-religious people. You have much more in common with your chosen 'enemies', each with your own grossly oversimplified, largely fictional 'problems' as an excuse to be hateful. Personally I think possibly(depending on the cost) more effort should've been made to reinforce & save the building, but the demolition was in NO way some kind of supposed anti-religion bias. Aside from the church obviously owning the building, and making the ultimate decision, other historic (& much more unique) non-religious buildings have also been demolished.

I guess it's an eternity for the usual internet attention spans though, how this video suddenly became somewhat popular is a bit surprising for this reason. Presumably the drone was also used to monitor for potential hazards/safety issues.

Being familiar with excavators being used in demolition (I investigated a "long-boom excavator" that had a special claw on it, not unlike the one shown), I know the use of the claw as a tool to hold a steel beam and push/pull over a structure, is outside the usage parameters of both the excavator and claw. Last one I saw the operator, used the claw to bend a hook in one end of an 8" "H-beam". Holding onto the straight end, the operator hooked onto the structure (4 stories up) to pull sections over. The section came loose and fell. Doing so it pulled the excavator over. A heavy chain, used in the structure, was under extreme strain. When it snapped a 4-foot length of it was shot over 300-feet away. It scoured the hood of a parked car smashed into the rear window of a second car and narrowly missed hitting a pedestrian.

That sounds like a significantly different scenario to be fair, including their use of a hook, and that this building was unreinforced brick. While seemingly adding some risk, they did seem pretty cautious.

@@DoubleMonoLR The issue comes from overloading the hydraulic system and the weight of a beam (or anything else) sticking out past the operating radius of the machine. This moves the center of gravity forward from the designed c of g. If an incident occurs the first thing to be consulted would be the operators manual along with the design specs and manual for the claw. The real reason this becomes an issue is that in the event of an incident, it's quite common for the company to say they didn't know this was being done. Then put the blame on the operator. They may even fire him/her for a while, to distance themselves from the incident, then rehire the same operator.

Then an additional 23 years working for Michigan OSHA as a Senior Construction Safety Officer inspecting construction sites on safety, accidents and fatalities. I think that after all that time I know a little bit more than the average person on how a machine's center of gravity is affected by moving a load. Such as an excavator operator who's machine was equipped with a "long boom" attachment and a claw on the end. He picked up about 800 pounds of dirt/debris and swung, not having learned that center of gravity lesson. He put the load outside the manufacturer limit and tipped the rig over. Have a nice day, sir.

You're displaying an absence of morals right here, baselessly assuming that anyone who doesn't share your religion lacks morals - which is transparently false. Nor does religion somehow magically give people morals, as vividly demonstrated by the most prominent 'conservative' NZ politician who was sent to prison for pedophilia, and others who have repeatedly been misbehaving behind their facade - as is common with extremists of any variety. People are people, religion is overwhelmingly irrelevant to morals, other than some people using it as an excuse to be immoral. People endlessly use a dumbed-down, extreme assumption-based version of 'others' as an excuse to rant about supposed problems - many of which are transparently invented. Extremists of the supposed 'left', 'right', or any variety, have far more in common with each other, than they do with reasonable people, who are aware of the complexities of life.

It could have potentially been made safe, though it would probably be expensive - particularly going by amounts that have been spent on some other buildings that were strengthened after the Christchurch earthquake. Personally I think the best/most effective method could potentially be to effectively build a safe structure inside, and attach all brickwork to rigid mesh inside - not so much to save the brickwork in a quake, but simply to prevent it causing injury. Albeit that would suit some structures better than others.

The construction seems much the same as churches everywhere, of that age (1889) While definitely not suited to handle earthquakes, it was still standing after well over 100 years, despite some earthquakes (albeit this area doesn't typically have as many or as strong earthquakes as elsewhere in NZ). It hadn't collapsed at all prior to the demolition, it was just deemed too expensive to bring up to a safe standard. Other old churches in the nearby city of Timaru were also damaged - those were repaired & presumably strengthened though.

You can't expect to see obvious problems in every situation, and there's no basis for such an assumption, nobody really benefited from it. Building inspectors, engineers, the insurance company, etc also aren't all going to conspire to build something else (for a nebulous reason) It would be quite bizarre to wait more than a decade, with a fenced off church, to use something as a supposed excuse. As it is, clearly the mortar was in very poor condition, and was doing little to nothing to hold the bricks together. Another old (but much smaller) building nearby partially collapsed during the earthquake, along with general damage in South Canterbury. Some other buildings have been repaired, and took many years(and so, it can be assumed, cost a lot of money) to do so. The only reason that could really be inferred, was that it was simply too expensive to repair.

@@mariebennett5739 It is not the question safty for the birds or for the people. You can have both. With a little thinking it is not that difficult. First look for any birds, move them to a new spot then taking down the old church. That's the way we do it in Germany... Trust me it works.

I've seen them since on another building nearby, pigeons are pretty adaptable, that wasn't really an issue. I wasn't happy that they seemingly made no attempt to get them out prior though, such as using an air horn. It does also seem fairly likely they had nests unfortunately, which could explain why they were so reticent to leave.

Unfortunately I can't make videos in braille, I think what could be seen was perfectly adequate. As should be reasonable to assume, I was standing where I could get the best available view point, and is why you can hear other people talking around the camera. Short of standing far up the hill, where I wouldn't see much in person, there wasn't really any other option. No doubt I'd then have complaints about shaky video, not that I had any inclination that it would have a significant number of views anyway.

The way the lower part of the building fell apart suggested that the earthquake had already damaged it beyond repair.

@@VOTEREPUBLICANS594 This phenomenon of inventing things, that people want to be angry about, is pretty absurd. The 'something worthless' they built in it's place was...another church, as you could've found by reading the description or the pinned comment. Not that a halfway house or drug rehab center would be worthless, obviously quite the opposite.
