  • That first shot is the most satisfying crash/whump you've done yet. Kudos to whomever framed all those camera anglesl and the heron was a nice touch.

  • If anyone was constipated, being in that porta-potty during that demolition would sort it out.

  • I'm always impressed by how large structures yield relatively small rubble piles.

    • Most structures are mostly hollow really. The actual "stuff" that makes up a building isn't really that massive.

  • Excellent shot, you make this look so easy but I realize a lot of planning goes into each implosion.

  • Is it cockiness to set up your camera so that as the chimney falls, it is beautifully framed by the trees? Nah...just well-deserved confidence.

  • I like how the chimney completely hits the ground and disappears by turning into straight up dust when tipping over.

  • Just a question. How effective is the spraying of water really 🤔 in curbing the dust cloud?

    @hendrikjbboss9973@hendrikjbboss99732 жыл бұрын
    • I think it helps more afterwards for clean-up, than it does for prior and during the dust cloud. Certainly, it works better than nothing at all!

  • If I didn't already have a career sorted out I think I would apply to work for you guys... seeing the videos on the phone is one thing but I can imagine being there in person when the whole building / structure comes down has to be extremely satisfying

  • I love your videos. Please make more like the “feature” length video of the condo tower you imploded in Texas. Also, when I see Carmichael Towers at Vanderbilt go down, so many fun memories come back to me. We had a ball in those (then brand new) square buildings.

  • Counting down from 10 to "fire" is actually a lot closer to 5 seconds than to 10 seconds 😳. That not withstanding it awesome to see that the object is in limbo for about a real second and then......."splat" and it's flat 😀 👌

    • Lol. I'm pretty sure the countdown is just so that everyone else on radio knows when it's going to happen, not to keep actual time.

  • I felt very sorry for the water sprayers. They seemed to be really effective until the tower feel down, then, nope, not doing anything at all
