Risky Demolition of Fire Station Tower Could Crush Near By Houses | Scrap Kings

[@bigdave6331]

they added so much more drama than needed, thats an extremely easy demo to do. been there done that many times

[@kierenhudson5054]

Demolition was in scout Hill, Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, UK :)

[@shopmedia_]

Kieren Hudson Knew it! Only watched the video to see if it was that fire station, and the 01924 number gave it away. I go past here all the time.

[@NamelessViking01]

0:03 Godzilla roar, better hope they made sure they could use that lol.

[@Elconbrioso]

Reseller - you should have clicked on TRANSLATE FROM NORTHERN. These are good ole lads fom the north of England.

[@ghostdevill]

No dust prevention! Lovely those astma lungs a few years later on! Good job guys!

[@ffjsb]

Not a lot you can do to prevent dust in this situation...

[@Dockhead]

@@ffjsb dust filtration mask, only uneducated cunts think safety cant be adhered too.

[@firejam78]

It's asthma not astma

[@michaelmacluskie6089]

Actually there was very little dust created as the machine operator was very skillful and precise.

[@dragonfitter]

They normally spray water with fire hoses to keep dust down

[@rigsby-i-am1050]

I started watching this, then after 2 shows decided not to watch it anymore. More added drama than the tv show "EastEnders"

[@Mutlap]

one thing that stands out here is in the US the dust is control with fire hoses.

[@dozer1642]

I just knew I’d find all of the experts here, in the comment section.

[@montydaniels1054]

Yep, all the superintendents are always on the other side of the fence. Most can't spell demolition but they is smarter than the operator...

[@nemo227]

The announcer says, "There's no guarantee which way it falls . . ." There SHOULD be a guarantee when real professionals are taking down a building. I'm not impressed.

[@craighall4675]

2:45 at least close the gate lol...

[@taz89ful]

and not one bit of water to keep the dust down!!!

[@maximedwards9249]

Crisis crisis, two bricks over the wall and cracks appearing. Hope I can make it through watching this. Pass the brandy quick.

[@walterlangston4253]

when the demolition job dose not go the way you plan that can be bad saw one that close off a road for a wile in the village I live in but it was a back road that when to peoples homes so not much traffic still not no homes were hit when the building fall

[@robertwhiteside4483]

DEWSBURY fire station

[@thebeast2746]

Come back Fred dibnah 🙏🏻

[@julianadams5753]

The tower is now in danger of collapse! Hell, quit poking at it.

[@Ravenswalk]

Sad to see it go lived on Scouthill 67 to 76.Whats going in there now the fire stations gone?

[@kierenhudson6331]

4 years on and it's just a construction site still 😂

[@kierenhudson6331]

They tried to build a mosque but was rejected as the junction is already choppa block as it is

[@tarantulaguy1998]

Demolishing the structure from the top and working down is the guaranteed way to have uncontrolled debris falling in any potential direction. Look at all that empty space next to it! Is a controlled collapse too far out of the question?! If I were the demo expert here, I’d rig up some method of cutting a notch in the base until the tower falls. For one, it’s more spectacular. But two, it’s frickin’ controlled! There’s a big guarantee that it’ll fall in the direction of the cut into emptied space with zero harm done, with no concern for nearby houses!

[@jrea424]

But you're not a demo expert are you

[@markg999]

Is it odd he said 15 to 20 ft thought he would say meters in the UK.

[@bredeyyy7402]

We use a mixture of everything 👍

[@J_DeLeon69]

They really decided to name this vehicle L O N G B O Y

[@holmesjunction]

The demolission went well! It was the continuity that's a disaster! Must have knocked it down six times according to this 'professional production'.

[@llamedosr7843]

Fred dibnah would have made short work of that

[@williamreilly6091]

Why didn't they take out one of the bottom pieces first

[@princesscharlotteroyalss]

POV:It’s near your house

[@tilerman]

The commentary is absolutely ridiculous. 'Its a battle', no its not'. 'If it did go wrong', it won't. 'It could lay straight across the rd', it won't. And at 1.02, surprising it took that long, 'there's a major problem'. 'One wrong move now could cause the tower to crash into the houses' I could go on and on and on. Ridiculous.

[@michaelmacluskie6089]

Busyboy 42. What you talking about?? All the things that this Demolition man was saying were facts that could very easily happen......but due to very good coordination between the two of them the job was done very professionally.

[@andrewpredeth7368]

I live near here it's not risky at all . There was loads a room

[@dave5065]

Need captions on this video can't understand a thing that guy was saying!

[@montydaniels1054]

Aaaaaa laddie don'tcha knowit.

[@paulmontgomery5990]

Fred Dibnah would only need a ladder and a hammer n chisel and still no bricks on the road cowboy's

[@bobclarke2705]

Bob Clarke asbestos haha you clueless knob head. It was wrapped in fibreglass.

[@adamholmes91]

@@ashleyhutchinson1954 As the building was constructed in 1965 and the fibres were very fine and white. I'd say that's asbestos. 99.9%

[@ashleyhutchinson1954]

Adam Holmes haha you know very little about man made fibers and also demolition. We wouldn’t of knocked it down with any asbestos in the structure.

All that melodrama for a slab and a pile of bricks. Couple of sticks of dynamite at bottom would have toppled that in no time lad! 😉 😉

Naw then ,do exactly as tha tells thy cocker ,allreet and we'll ave it down in no time ,grand job ,smashing

[@enrobhcit]

the late and very great Fred Dibnah would have had that down in about 12 minutes, all by hand

[@ashrevlution3456]

A bit dramatic. This KZbin video wouldn't exist had the tower collapsed on to the road. The demolition company reputation would of been damaged had it happened.

Clueless operator. You weaken the bottom parts first to avoid it falling over the wall.
