Vegas Casino Frontier Hotel | Building Demolition | BlowDown | S01 E02| Free Documentary

[@anthonyandino6069]

This implosion was one of the best ones I've ever seen. I love the pyrotechnic countdown and plunger. It was amazing

[@Agent0range67]

Wonder if they did 9/11 aswell

[@mercedesbenzisbest]

​@Cristopher wouldn't be suprised, they do a ton of government work. He even mentioned the trade center on the Miami Beach episode

[@james_fisch]

@@Agent0range67no that was a terrorist attack

[@rheffner3]

I stayed at the Frontier once. Came back late one night and sat down to play black jack. Sitting there was Milton Berle! Played a few hands with Uncle Miltie.

Guys, please tell everyone about this channel it deserves 3 million at least

[@AlwaysBolttheBird]

I was lucky enough to live in Vegas when this came down. If you ever get a chance to see something like this take it and see it. It will probably be in the top 10 memories

[@AyeCarumba221]

That’s what you consider to be lucky?

[@melissaworthington3513]

I love in the beginning of the introduction that they gave a good example of “don’t step on it Stacy” This brought me to tears 😂

[@jacquiwatkins-dixon2927]

Your family is absolutely amazing. I am in awe of your knowledge, dedication and attention to spectators, co-workers, just everything!!💜💜💜

[@toddguenther1568]

As a workplace safety specialist, this type of stuff is absolutely facinating. Even after 30+ years of on-site hazard analysis, compliance trainings, lectures, site-audits, training sessions, and meeting thousands of industrial professionals who help manage environmental, health, and safety - this stuff still makes the 10-year old in me wide-eyed and filled with wonder. GREAT channel, excellet episode, and you've earned a new subscriber. Excellent production quality to educate, motivate, and inspire - pleasek eep up the good work. Thank you.

[@kymberlyp4056]

Great documentary. I enjoyed how much detail went into the whole process... the demolition and the documentary crew.👍

[@sweettrubble4635]

I'm enjoying all of that brain and brawn.

[@mdlyonn0035]

It’s been over 12 years since it was demolished, 2 rejected Casino plans and a land sale later and still nothing. They might aswell have just kept it standing and open for all the hassle of knocking it down for nothing

[@davidwelde515]

Thanks for the info. I was five minutes in and curious.

[@QuarioQuario54321]

Wynn west seems to be making some progress. I’d build a 100-story tower if that didn’t happen.

[@toytulog576]

should not demolish it. shud just turn it into a mall or shelter

[@animamundii]

Doesnt Vegas have enough casinos already? Why not build a park or something, everything has to be covered by buildings... I dont understand that thinking.

[@skillie5677]

its better to have removed it actually, even if nothing is built there it could collapse on it own or people could have gone in and either scrapped what little is left or squatted in it. the place was already abandon and falling apart. its a a lot harder to fix and repair a abandon building to make a new one.

[@someguy2998]

Only implosion I made it down to while living in Vegas, great to witness in person, very well done!!!

[@charlesh7962]

I always love watching documentary shows & ur's are awesome to watch. And always have front row seats.Ty

[@garfixit]

Not only the best job in the world but the coolest people ever you guys are awesome

[@cntslesfabrication]

Losing millions daily well it's 2019 and there's still nothing been done on the location since demolish was cleaned up

[@majo4149]

Well aslong as the building is there they need to pay govt for the taxes. Demolishing the building will lessen their tax payment

[@trottingfoxinc]

Came here to say this. 2020 now, still a vacant lot. Very much adds to the sadness clouding the northern portion of the strip

[@elitedaimond8232]

Corona "hold my beer"

[@borderreiver3288]

just amazing how they overcome the set-backs to make it all work....what a spectacular show but a hell of a lot of hard work put in by dedicated experts to make it all happen and all over in less than a minute...just the clean up afterward...

[@stevencooper2464]

The Frontier had such a neat and beautiful swimming pool...so sad that it's all gone now.

[@jeffreymcfadden9403]

I was in that pool 1 time. Just after I hit a royal flush in video poker!

[@mooneyes2k478]

Not only is it easier to clean it up when there's just the shell of the building, but it's also safer. While a non-loadbearing wall won't hold the weight of the building, it CAN resist it for long enough that the structure starts shifting in an un-wanted direction, and all of a sudden, it's not falling into the drop zone any more. It's all about minimizing the chance of trouble.

[@berenwarrior6276]

The care this company takes to make sure nothing hurts spectators is why they are wanted world wide

[@maryrecoy1616]

We are running out of conscientious ppl like this tht take the care for others at their own risk..breathing in chemicals n such n working in unstable buildings ..they are to be commended and I hope they are paid well for this bc they certainly deserve it!!!

[@deborahsoucy2884]

Fantastic video Thank you for filming --- Debbie & Tiffany

[@rogerscottcathey]

You can never get rid of all the asbestos. Being near those demos without breathing filters is foolhardy.

[@rogerscottcathey]

Dont understand why those mid-sized buildings arent flooded with NASA sized water cannons. That would greatly reduce the dust migration.

[@rogerscottcathey]

@Geo Thomas : what are you talking about?

[@StanslaMichael]

@Geo Thomas Something wrong with how your using your mask. I've been in the industry over 30 yrs and never had a problem.

[@StanslaMichael]

@@rogerscottcathey Exactly what i was thinking. You would think in this day and age it would be an industry.

[@someguy4915]

@@rogerscottcathey Because they'd need to build a tall water tower, pump it full with water which will take a few days, setup a pipe network, several more towers around the building to pump water onto the building and after the demo-work to spray the debris to reduce dust... All in all a few weeks work at least, couple million USD price tag and likely one or more towers used to spray the building/debris will also end up getting knocked over causing damage...

Wynn can call the Frontier what he wants but it's built 10 times stronger and better than his modern casino. Lots of concrete and steel bars

[@zadrik1337]

It ironic that the property still has nothing there after the building was removed.

Is Vegas the tourist trap it used to be. No rat pack entertainment. No Stars 😀❗ No real move Stars either 👎😕

[@thomasmiddlebrooke1012]

That was quite the show! Clever!

[@evillangbuildsmc2468]

Liked the video

[@frankmccrossan4871]

I've yet to see a demolition documentary where this man wasn't bemoaning the fact that the construction engineers did their jobs correctly! Still , these videos make real vivid viewing

[@keithsawyer6356]

I noticed that they didn't mention two of those firework controllers failed to go down the zip lines like they were supposed to.

[@flexman70]

At 46:00 you can clearly see the pods for the controllers zip out of the building yes?

[@awesomeferret]

So, at 40:06, why is the solution not to build a box around it? That seems like such an easy thing to deal with. If it's that important that people don't step on it, take ten minutes to make sure that nobody CAN? What am I missing here?

[@scampster]

I love how the girls working with the dynamite complain about the smell yet dont wear any type of breathing/filter mask

[@ejaculus]

@Geo Thomas you don't need to wear a full face mask

[@raymondwong7895]

nitro is absorbed through the skin too, especially in such large quantities and vegas heat, it's not just the fumes, you'd have to be walking around in insanely hot stuffy hazmat suits

2007 in Las Vegas: Las Vegas says goodbye Frontier Hotel

[@SpiderCollector000]

Stayed here in the early 2000's and I can see why it got torn down. The rooms were very bad and not updated. We paid for a tower room and they put us on the first floor in a different spot facing a parking lot. I was pissed, and they finally got us a room in the tower which was a LOT better. Still I remember there were some very weird repetitive cracks in the same places snaking up from floor to floor, and it didnt look too good.

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Very interesting. Have a nice day now.

Same

[@Bigboybusington2988]

As of today, Steve Wynn has plans to build a third tower on the frontier property I just hope that he can finally get around to putting that property to some use once and for all because 17 years later, it is still an empty dirt lot

[@geomodelrailroader]

CDI has their list of Mob era casinos that they blew up. In 93 the Dune was blown up Wynn bought the property it is now the Bellagio. 94 the Landmark met its fate this land became Treasure Island. 95 they blew up Sands the Venetian and the Trump Tower stands here today. The Hacienda was next in 96 it became Mandalay Bay. two years later Aladdin's was next it took two years to bring down it is now the Fashion Place Mall and Planet Hollywood. For New Years in 2000 CDI blew up the El Rancho it became the Turnberry Towers and The Draw. 2001 The Desert Inn was blown up and the property is now owned by Trump and Steve Wynn and the Wynn Building and the Trump Tower are located on it. In 2006 The Castaway met its fate it was replaced by a newer bowling ally. In 2006 CDI also blew up the Bourbon Street, the Boardwalk, and the Stardust. In 2007 the Frontier met its fate Steve Wynn is trying to finish the project for President Trump but set backs have delayed it and soon new buildings will rest here.

[@geomodelrailroader]

The CDI techs need to make sure they have equipment so they don’t have to inhale the fumes from the explosives when they are placing them in the holes

[@wesley815]

I was confused about this too- they were complaining about side effects yet have literally zero safety equipment on (unless done for documentary drama only)

[@danray3400]

This is an old job years ago..The reason this place was overkill on materials is one of the riches' man on earth had claimed it to be unsinkable. He had it built so no matter what hit it, it wasn't going to come down and kill or trap people. If today places could be built like this was....lives would be saved by the millions. My uncles did a lot of the concrete work..They even said the owner was spending more than just the typical on concrete and steel. That was sixty plus years ago..so it had it's time of fame..

[@timmyangeltlc4888]

I'm wondering if the ladies loading the explosives couldn't wear some type of glove to keep the nitroglycerin off their skin and some type of respirator so they are not inhaling the fumes off the nitro. I love the series but when I watched and heard about the intensity of the nitro fumes and it on their skin it worried me. I know I saw people wearing gloves while cutting the sticks.
