Entire school library gets completely demolished

[@Darkk6969]

It's really a shame to knock down this building that's only 14 years old. Still modern by today's standard. Also, not much of it salvaged so it all turned to waste. Tax dollars at work!

[@aaronhuffman4852]

Probably has a certain time to have it gone so probably not enough time.

[@ramranch887]

I went here in junior high. the schools library was burnt down by some kids. the rest of the school was old. they rebuilt the library but that was all. the entire school was torn down and built new.

[@vancegosselin]

Absolutely Disgusting. Most of this stuff could be saved and reused

[@MaxZomboni]

The crazy thing about it is that the building that this building that he tearing down replaced, still exists a couple of blocks south and is still being used as a Catholic school today. Kids are still learning in the building that this building replaced, but they have to tear this building down. At least the builders and demolition contractors are making money off the government waste. That is the only good thing about it.

[@Ronnocbot]

Keep up the interior POV shots! Btw, that school district must have a lot of money; Imagine demolishing a building that's barely over 10 years old and modern by today's standards. Seemed like a decent and nice-looking library. That rebuilt building barely passed the break in period lol

[@kenlahmers9648]

Who are the boobs on that district's school board who would raze a building that's only a dozen years old? If I'd live in that district I'd never vote in favor of another levy. Bunch of school board idiots....

[@jays106]

tax dollars hard at work such a waste

[@ramranch887]

I went here in junior high. the library portion was burnt down when i was there so they rebuilt. rest of the school was old

[@tanfanhvac]

I wonder if the school had insurance and that was why they were able to rebuild the library. The gym looked very 1950’s! I do like the new school! Very up-to-date!

[@homesteadandhighways]

I wonder if the local community tax payers were refunded for the terrible decision making and lack of foresight from the school board administration. I obviously don't know the details; however, this (in my opinion) in inexcusable! This is a multi-million dollar building, and it's sad to see it come to this. Computer monitors, chairs, filing cabinets could have all been easily removed and donated. Not it's in a landfill benefiting no one. On another note, GREAT content! I've asked for interior shots in the past, and you delivered! Well done. You are not to blame for the government decisions to demolish this building, but you sure do make some enjoyable content to watch.

[@brnmcc01]

2 laser printers still there too

[@jays106]

computer monitors, furniture,lockers and just so much stuff that could be saved that is wasted. The light fixtures alone can be saved and alot could be donated to a place like restore run by habitat for humanity for a tax write off or the scholl could get a few of those storage boxes and reuse a ton of stuff and save tax payers a ton of money just to turn it into more parking 😢

[@vancitynico1958]

throwing away a bunch of monitors and interior devices... not to mention all the copper etc...

[@mackhopper]

SCHOOL WRECKER!!! That wood window paneled divider wall is (was) awesome. I’d love to repurpose that piece! There are so many materials here that could be repurposed and salvaged rather than wasted. All of those quality desk chairs - dang. And, so many good, quality doors which could be repurposed (donated to Habitat for Humanity). But, since this has to be crushed - HAVE FUN!!! Okay, I enjoyed the two camera views on this one. They wouldn’t let you do this demo while school was in session? 😂 😂 😂

[@Ronnocbot]

I would've wanted to save some of the HVAC, electrical, and fire alarm equipment. I also noticed the decent quality interior (and exterior) fire-rated doors.

[@mackhopper]

@@RonnocbotNo doubt. Our local school district would not have been so wasteful . Despite their shortcomings, they are good at repurposing resources. So many good resources could (and should) be donated to Habitat for Humanity, too.

[@JLD902]

@@Ronnocbotme too, those closers especially, LCN 4040 Or 4111‘s, hard to tell unless seen hole pattern, least empty the place and donate before calling in a hungry excavator !!

[@giacomovds]

Those oak window frames are so beautiful they are also worth a lot of money

[@malikdigger4544]

Wonder did anyone saved those nice cubby storage cabinets & shelves ftom that library/ school before demolish also the inside windows are awesome

[@polishstick0609]

Whoever decided to not get rid of the furniture that could have been donated or ever reuse it in a different part of the same establishment is a complete dumbass.

[@skiplambert4693]

Having that camera inside made the video much more interesting!! Great job!

[@txviking]

Glad to see you posting again. That inside view is something else!

[@burningdust]

What a nice, newer building! At least 20x nicer than the relic I had in school. Total shame and a waste it's being torn down, could have been added to or expanded instead. Shame.

[@camohunter1983]

Why in the hell would they use solid oak wood in a freakin library that's going to be torn down? I know u guys saved some of it but it would of been nice if u could of saved all of it....makes me sad to see it get trashed out.

[@coryhoover01]

I see a lot of salvage the lights the doors metal doors can be recycled including the lockers and the whiteboards can be resold

[@A-t-r-u-s]

Sort of bugs me that some of this stuff can be reused - the bookshelves and seating. Instead, they just let it be trashed.

[@16480287]

Can't believe your smashing all items that could be salvaged the wood trim < chairs , doors ect, What a shame ! If I was a tax payer in that district I would raise H--L with the school District a real crying shame !!!! The price of lumber in today's world it would of been worth it to salvage the building and contents before you smashed it ! (MY OPINION) I tore down a animal Hospital and all the lumber and fixtures we salvaged we built a complete addition on a home (Two of us ) about a weeks work plus minus to salvage the building .

[@electroluxlad]

Do you much time is that take you and wasn’t worth the amount of hours that you put towards it sometimes it don’t have enough time. Yeah I know it sucks but that is what it is.

[@homesteadandhighways]

At the very least, they could have allowed volunteer groups to come in and salvage whatever they want.@@electroluxlad

[@kenlahmers9648]

I would never vote for another levy if I lived in that school district. Wasteful !!!

[@danefilander6306]

That was a awesome inside view during the Demolition process.

[@Scott-Anderson]

Love the 2-camera view at the same time. Great work. Thanks for sharing keep up the great work.

[@edbartelt4333]

Absolutely liked seeing the video in video. Very interesting to see the inside as the demo is done on the outside. Wish you could do more of this. Hard to see tax dollars on interior contents being destroyed. Must be a wealthy community. Love your videos and your comments also. Keep up the good work, also the walk thru. Thank you

[@anthonyellis987]

HUSH! there's people trying to work here. It was a shame those solid oak windows couldn't be salvaged as they were beautiful. I loved the interior camera.

[@mrbilal1987]

I'm trying to figure out why invest so much money into such a nice library only to tear it down in 14 years to make a parking lot.

[@mike6932]

Comrade Marx commands

[@allamericanwiseass]

Because bureaucracy

[@MaxZomboni]

It burned down, so insurance would have paid for it.

[@Lunar_Capital]

Wow man, it's terrifying seeing a giant machine just smash through the room while inside it.

[@mackhopper]

Imagine kids sitting in this library, quietly reading, then all of a sudden!!!

[@DavidmillerMatthew]

What a cool library i love going to the library i enjoyed watching your videos I like your videos a lot keep making great videos

[@skinmaxdestroyer]

It's good to film from the inside

[@Peter-Du]

It always amazes me why more is not salvaged. 2009 and already demolished?

[@BillMulholland1]

Hello, I’m Bill. I’m a silent subscriber. Started from the beginning and have reached this vid. I know this is a sorta old vid and I understand you were trying to experimenting with cameras at this point. For me I was thinking this would be great if you had 4 cameras. 1 on a overview of the outside, 2 on the inside, 3 on the cab and the fourth one at the top of the forward boom facing down at the bucket, if it can survive😆.. In editing, switch between the 4. Im not a professional what so ever. Just a thought. I appreciate your vids. Thanks✌️🍻👍

[@jesusmercado6947]

That's a shame it was only built in 2009 😢

[@WillFrom613]

my high school was built in the 50s lol still stands strong lool

[@bettyprice6316]

Oh my! What a great video.

[@cgschow1971]

If I was a taxpayer in that district, I would be upset. What a waste of a building and furnishings.

[@timidema6374]

It's sure a crying shame that you couldn't salvage those cubicle, desk,lights, and bookcases. But I love your videos and big cat ripping and chewing the building to toothpicks.

[@playtimeisdone8490]

WHAT??? No exercise balls to smash? Dang! 😊 I’m always excited to see when you post new material! This sure was a nice facility that just got demo’d!!!

[@buddycarroll9665]

Great camera placement. Got to see a lot. Thx.

[@TerryMrakovichPhD]

All that office furniture could be sold to an office supply co. Big Bucks

[@vancegosselin]

Very sad to see that the furnishings, computers, and shelves are destroyed 😢

[@MrJeep75]

What a waste of tax payers money

[@smashthings4fun]

broo thanks for this interesting interior footage!!. I've always been curious what it would look like from the inside during demolition

[@DavidMiller-qu2sr]

I like your videos keep making great videos I enjoy watching your videos keep making great videos I like your videos a lot

[@SamanthaDala]

Those people could have sold all the wood and everything in there to gain money for the other place, that is just a shame Sami

[@alexfriedel]

Shame I’m not in USA so many sellable/recyclable materials I hate wastage 😢😢

[@bulldogshouse9970]

No more pencils no more books no more teachers dirty looks😂😂😂

[@HomeWreckerBrian]

Hahaha 😂 yes!!!

[@HeatherTaylor-ov5rv]

Can the oak windows and frames not be taken out in one piece first?

[@PJ.BJ135.MONSTER.B.A.LL.S]

Haven't watched yet but I'm gonna assume this is gonna be an amazing destruction process and satisfying destructive.😄

[@railroadenthusiast6246]

What was the name of that school

[@jeremyba5504]

Sacajawea Middle School in Spokane.

[@shaneharrison9609]

Stuff like this is why I will never ever vote for any school levy of any tax that benefits them whatsoever. Awesome video though!!

[@davestasts1173]

Where was this school?

[@colterkardas4105]

Tearing down only a 14 year old building? Is that rare?

[@Baxter-James]

So much of the interior is going to waste, monitors, printers, bookcases, tables, chairs; its like they gave the library a week to clear out, and what was left was considered to be forfeited and a lost...

[@alvintorres8787]

In my hometown they are demolishing the old Jr high and high school buildings. In seven days, they only demolished six classrooms (single story) and the library with two big excavators. The library isn't as big as this one in this video. I watched them and they are moving very slow, and they are working all day and five days a week. Why are they moving very slowly? I don't know. Any comments?

[@clutchitup9861]

How do you know what to charge for these jobs and how do you figure it out? That's always the only question that I have. I really hope someone answers.

[@matthewsummy6452]

That’s a shame that they are tearing it down. I know that our school here where I live is very old probably about at least 70 to 80 years old and they have been working towards getting a new school in years to come…

[@brivvy]

Wish they sold those desks, shelves, and chairs

[@glenlongstreet7]

For recycling to be profitable there has to be a demand. It costs money to send a crew in, just the insurance. In places where there are lot of buildings over 100 years there are more recycling opportunities. I recycle like I am an old Yankee. [I am an old Yankee.]

[@dirtyharry5320]

Tearing down a building that's only 14 years old and not even salvaging anything. Our taxes at work.

[@gregbennett4254]

Just raise property taxes

[@DavidJones-smiley]

It’s all about time and money ! That’s why nothing gets saved or salvaged !

[@steadholderharrington9035]

They dither and delay, saying they don't know what the future holds for the older buildings; time that could have been used to salvage because practically everyone knew it was going that way, Then all of a sudden... BAM! GOTTA DEMOLISH THIS PLACE NOOOOOOOOOOO-OOOOOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!! No time to waste on frivolities! Gotta have this place down last week! Move it! Move it! Move-it! And the excuse? Oh, its all about time and money!........ Riiiiiight!......

Typical waste in the U.S. Who was the dim bulb that had this great idea...

Hi there if the school was rebuilt in on the library sorry was rebuilt in 2009 why are there demolishing it again in 2023

[@abraxassmith4512]

Save those computers, there are a lot of money

[@et_2brutus640]

No organizations in the world aside from the government blissfully waste money like large school districts and higher ed. I've worked in both. Remember this the next time you vote on a school bond.

[@kristencarlbon4561]

Why would they throw out benches and cabinets? People could use those

[@nathen4021]

Libraries in schools aren't all that necessary with today's technology where kids can, with teacher guidance. Can look up information needed for assignments online or through an "E-Library".

[@vintageceilingfans]

built in 2008 and it's going to be torn down.. Not only billionaires waste money but government is just as bad..

[@IceTheFanDude]

2009 actually

[@antharro]

What an incredible waste of a good building. And of all the contents! Whoever did the asset stripping of that building should be fired. SO much good stuff left behind. And NONE of the electronic equipment should have been left in there; it should all have been removed and donated or recycled responsibly. Not left to be smashed up and mixed in with construction debris. Absolutely unacceptable. This should have been taken care of before you guys were contracted for the final demolition. Interesting to see the inside view though!

[@leonmarut7092]

again picture in picture is a winner

[@georgewest2096]

Such waist! That's sad.

[@dueljet]

What a waste of money and materials.

[@IceTheFanDude]

Jeez they are already tearing down a 14 year old libuary kinda a waste of materials

[@curlywood]

there nothing wrong with this building why knock it what a waste

[@tompicker8284]

You shouldn’t be knocking down buildings that has lotta good history and good wood and everything in windows and also the metal detectors

[@MrJeep75]

Sad

[@benephraimbellows582]

Oh my goodness this is terrible destroying good quality furniture and computers Premiere Props would off bought and sold that off in there auction but instead they destroyed it and waste the USA taxpayers 💰 🤑 💸 💲Very interesting how it all went down in this demolition 😊😮😶🤯
