Well over 100 structures are explosively demolished in this feature originally produced for a 2003 museum exhibition in Amsterdam. Copyright 2003 implosionworld.com LLC
This is an excellent series of demolitions. One right after the other; no waiting, no bated breath anticipating a fall. I wanted to see them coming down, & that is exactly what I got. Thanks a whole bunch!
i agree no b.s. no big buildup of tension before the explosions. the only thing i would like is the location of these demos.

Many of these explosive demolitions are so skillfully done that they're almost an art form.
Sry for being late but I agree
11:13 I wish I could be this unbothered

This is what a compilation should be, no bullshit, no obnoxious selfpromoting, just the basis, this was awesome.
Exactly
The amount of precision for the placement of explosives just so the building falls exactly how they want is truly skill right there! Especially in tight spaces right next to other housing.
Not sure. I've seen building with just small fires in a few floors collapse in similar fashion. Sky scrapers will freely fall with just some damage done to one of its outer walls. The whole concept of controlled demolition is overrated.
9:55 to 10:03 The old Saint John General Hospital in Saint John New Brunswick Canada I was there that day and watched ," the General" fall. Quite spectacular. The brass dome came straight down and survived intact.It has now found a new home in a park-like setting in Saint John for all to enjoy thanks to the generosity of the Irving Family.It would be interesting to see the debris once the dust settles.
Yep and at 8:25 is the old Calgary general hospital in Alberta Canada
It's kind of sad from a nostalgic viewpoint to see some of those buildings coming down. Some of those older buildings had beautiful facades, along with memories and history made inside them.
Old buildings are nightmares for heating cooling,insulation and maintenance.
Yeah but they were probably abandoned or not well cares for. Nothing lasts forever unfortunately.
If it’s brutalist or modernist architecture, I’m all for getting rid of it.
@@jaddy540 I understand. I'm in the trades and have been for 40 years.
Yes I agree with you specially when they put parking lots in.
3:48 me watching my grades go down...
Very much me when I was in middle school. 😆
Yes
8:50 1. Kid watches demolition, then gives his reaction. 2. Kid goes home and makes buildings with his Legos just to demolish them. 3. Kid knows exactly what he wants to do when he grows up. 4. Kid's future is looking bright. 😎👍 BTW, I think we just found a new demographic for demolition videos.
😎😎😁😁☄️☄️💥💥🔥🌃🌃🏙🏙🎆🌇🌇🌆
Whoa! The photographer/video dude gave us true film artistry putting the camera on the window of the building going down from another building nearby. The depth of field on that was pure genius! Awesome filming!

I'll be damned if I'm gonna clean up this mess

is it just me or is it just so satisfying to just watch it all smoothly fall down???

Satisfying
Satisfying as hell for someone who likes buildings collapsing

14:32 honestly the best
I totally agree with you, at 14:32 and also the tree towers at 14:37 are surely shot in France because in France they like to shoot down buildings vertically in one explosion, they call it 'foudroyage' which means something like 'lightning strike' And furthermore in the credits at the end it's written France and Cardem demolition which is one of the greatest demolition companies in France. I love when buildings are shot down brutally and fall freely in 3 seconds, it's brutal, violent, impressive, imposing, colossal, dust-cloud-making and space-making, just beautiful after all !
I love how the implosion at 5:14 almost has a rhythm to it.
You can always tell when somebody actually loves their job lol 1:20
Whoever Placed Those Dynamite Was Serious
I think it's really beautiful the way these mighty structures become fluid in their last few seconds of existence !
1:21, 5:30
Very well done editing. It's nice to see professionals who perform at this level. There are so many examples of those who think they can.
The skill involved in bringing down these high-rises is largely underappreciated. These guys are good!
America just god Iraq’d, accidental bombing of civilian infrastructure.

What building is that, anyways? It looks like a mega-sized silo.
@@Stack_4_the_underscore_ That is actually a zoomed in shot of the PSE&G Gas holder in Paterson/Harrison, NJ being imploded. Pretty sure the year was 1997.
5 years to build 5 minutes to destroy
Landon Connell yah I know but the button pressed in 3 sec lol
5 seconds
5 months to clean up
They still have to rig the explosives to effectively bring the building down with as little space as possible.
5 years to build, 5 seconds to destroy,5 months to clean, 5 minutes to plan the demolition
Watched this several times back in 2011 and 2012. Coming back years later.
I used to watch this back in 2019 and 2020
Just like WTC 9/ 11 /01. This was even more elegant
yeah unfortunately they didn't include it in the video
Based
Some of these buildings were real eye sores, while a few were actually quite beautiful! Sadly they will most likely be replaced by an eye sore.
***** true, a lot of buildings have some architectual value, but they get demolished just to be replaced by a concrete sqaure :(
Or the all too prevalent glass box
+Richard Federico More "government low income housing" to build in their place.LOL, the projects as the blacks call it.
yes some were beautiful and very charming...sad to see them destroyed
Just like Vegas. Once beautiful, now an eye sore.
Years to build, seconds to demolish
Patrolin Aus and wasted a lot of money
i agree
Patrolin Aus if the building doesnt wanna exist and they dont do demolition, they deconstruct. It will still take years.

Nope. You should be listening for the next announcement of when one of these implosions is going to happen in your nearest city, and go there and see one in person! Really cool, and really worth the wait!

The black 'tarps' are to try and contain building fragments created by the explosives from traveling too far, and damaging nearby buildings. They aren't always 100% effective, but they work pretty well if done right. Most of these implosions I had never seen before, and I've seen a lot of them around KZhead.
Are you alive? It’s 2023.
I've just started watching this.You people are extremely professional in Controlled Demolitions. I give you all an A plus.
Great, You made “this.You” a link lol
6:29 Imagine that your sleeping and then you hear explosions then when you look out of the window
Really an oof momet
This video is like a cross between a lava lamp and fireworks--hypnotic and awesome at the same time. A building that takes years to design and build can be toppled in seconds.
It is just amazing watching most of the buildings come straight down. Experts at work. Only wish that the buildings brought down were listed, a lot of them looked familiar.
Love how they just melt. Craftsmanship yes.
Are you alive? It’s 2023.
Thanks for putting this up.
An impressively detailed piece of orchestrated and excellently technally advanced engineering by the rocket scientists of today. Well done team(s) Bloody good implosion compelation. Thank you and, now I am dreaming

Without a doubt the best compilation in any category. No bullsh!t, and only good quality video.
Always bitter sweet watching these vids, love the destruction and skill but I also quite like those old brick industrial buildings.
By far, I think the coolest ones are the ones where everything "shrinks" straight down with no tilting at all. They really don't even look like they fall into each other, they just disappear straight down. It really is amazing that they can plan such complicated destructions and make it look so easy!
All in the math bro
Todas implosões são assim mesmo começando do subsolo para cima, depois da detonação o prédio afunda sem causar acidentes na vizinhança.
Wer die ersten Arbeiten mit Ansehen kann, wird auch Staunen. Das heißt es zuerst einmal Fenster und Zwischen Wände raus Dan wird erst geplant in welcher Richtung man das Fallen soll. Bei uns in Köln ist erst einmal eine große Grube gemacht worden, da einige Häuser in der Nähe standen, etwa zweihundert Meter entfernt von Sprengung. Die Löcher der sprengladung mühsam einzeln Gebohrt werden. Wenn die ganzen Kabel die zum Sprengstoff gelegt werden, und das ganze Gewirr zu Sehen bekommen hat auch Glück. Unser Vater ist selber geschult worden, ist zwar Statiker und Architekt und hat sich zur Abriss Firma entwickelt. Bei der Sprengung von einem Hochhaus waren wir mal Dabei und sahen zu. Der ganze Klotz Kippte sich zur Seite die ausgehoben wurde Der Knaller war nicht sehr groß aber die Wolken ☁️ des Staubeß ist für etliche Leute im Anzug genial geworden. Endlich mal was zur Reinigung gebracht werden Die Aufnahmen dieses Films sind sehr gut 👍 gewesen. Danke für deine guten Filme 🎥 großartig
@@helmut668 English translation of above courtesy GOOGLE TRANSLATION: Anyone who can look at the first works will be amazed. That means first getting out the windows and between walls. Then you first plan in which direction you should fall. In our case in Cologne, a large pit was first made because there were a few houses nearby, about two hundred meters away from where the blasting took place. The holes in the explosive charge have to be laboriously drilled individually. If you get to see all the cables that are laid to the explosives and all the tangles, you're lucky. Our father was trained himself, is a structural engineer and architect and has developed into a demolition company. We were there and watched the demolition of a high-rise building. The whole block tipped to the side that was dug out The blast wasn't very big but the clouds ☁ of the dust was awesome for a lot of people in suits. Finally something to be taken to the cleaning The recordings of this film were very good 👍. Thanks for your good films 🎥 great

The Grand Canyon, the launch of a top-fuel dragster, and a building implosion are three things you've just gotta see in person. The building shown at 5:22 belonged to the Lambert Pharmaceutical Company in St. Louis. B: 1912, D: about 8:10 AM, November 18, 2000.

I remember seeing a building demolition in the distance while waiting at a bus stop in Cleveland (this was about 2011). In a brilliant marketing move, Geico had a blimp flying overhead of the demolition site, since they knew there'd be a ton of onlookers.
God, that kid @8:50 is 100% me, there for a demolition, but distracted by an airplane in the sky
Lol
5:30 wasn’t a controlled demolition. It was a bombing attack aka terrorism. Here’s why: 1. There’s still clothing and laundry all over the building with curtains too, meaning that people were still occupying the apartments until their homes were obliterated. 2. There were cars parked on the side of the road right next to the building. In a controlled demolition, all those cars would of been relocated so they don’t get damaged. 3. The building only partly collapsed. In a controlled demolition, the entire thing would come down, or at least most of it. 4. The Arabic writing on the wall show it occurred in the Middle East, probably in Iraq. And I say Iraq because many of these demolitions occurred from the end of the 20th to the beginning of the 21st century. And the Iraq war began in 2003.
No, it was for a film called "Spy Game," which released on the 21st of November, 2001.
This is what spending hours on KZhead does to you. How'd I go from hot 97 interviews to building implosions?
***** :-D Don't tell me you took the red pill!!

The finale - 15:23-16:27 - 20 buildings in a row! The same 20 buildings from the whole video. You saw each building from 4-5 different angles. Still, a great sequence!
what a shame so many of these building could have been repurposed. And the huge waste of materials is amazing. A couple of these looked like true historic buildings, too.
How about giving the homeless ,disabled,etc place to stay,providing they maintain the site at /anyone not keeping the place immaculate,painted,cleaned will be evicted.Rent is based on income
Historic for crime drugs and murder most of them,and many were not meant to be lived in for 50 + years either.
The one at 10:02 is the wards Building located on University Avenue in St Paul Minnesota. It was the catalog building for Ward's before they did this. It was on the list of landmarks.
@@amandashenay7095 some of them probably yes. But others no. The one at 10:02 was a true landmark and a staple of the city for a while. They weren't going to demolish this building but for some reason they decided to at the later stages of the construction. The whole property used to be wards with this catalog building and A Auto area for awards. They repurposed it for a bunch shopping: a Cub Foods, a paper Warehouse, a bunch of smaller shops, Kmart, words including their Auto area that they rebuilt, and Mervyn's California.
@@amandashenay7095 this building made way for Kmart and eventually Walmart.
8:27, The Joker's done it again.
Excellent, very clean work with few remnants.
I guess that 2003 was a while ago. I could hear a lot of 35mm film cameras clicking way, both motor drive, and thumb advance lever. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
Can you please try to name some film camera you've heard here?
The motor drive sound could be a Nikon or Canon. In the early 1980's, I worked in a camera store where I sold a lot of 35mm cameras, and photography has been a hobby of mine since about 1967. I have been around and used a lot of 35mm cameras. That was an odd question.@@chanderprakash3159
9:54 old Saint John Regional Hospital/Canada Games Athletes' Quarters/abandoned building. I watched that from the same angle, but closer. The dome now sits in a little park nearby. It came down pretty much intact.

This compilation rules. Awesome vid
11:35 mr.remaining chimney feel alone....
In the 1950s, Northeastern University (Boston, MA, USA) demolished the Boston Storage Warehouse on Huntington Avenue, where a dormitory now stands. Touted as fireproof, the building was comprised of cell-like storage rooms, with walls reputed to be ten feet thick reinforced poured concrete. With the heaviest wrecking ball available, it took many months of pounding to reduce the building to rubble. Imagine trying to teach mathematics, as my father did, with the entire campus shaking every few seconds from the bouncing wrecking ball!
14:18 is Toronto east of the CN Tower, North of the Gardiner Expressway (always thought that was a funny name for an expressway; visions of a senior fiddling with potted plants in the middle of live lanes of traffic rocketing by in both directions...)
11:53 and 15:12 are the same building. Why? Because they are videoing the building even the side view. and 6:15 the two buildings are collapse. What building is that at 11:53 and 15:11?? and where is that??
13:33 that’s my personal favorite. What’s yours? Looks like out of over a year, a good few (over 15) others agree, and I appreciate that you shared that you do (if you’re reading it and it’s your favorite also).

It"s so impressive how things made by human hands are fragile after all and definitely not evelasting.

10 years later and this video is the most popular video yet in implosion world channel
I found this very relaxing after work..there were some older buildings that had nice designs though..
Look at @8:13, eerily similar to WTC7.
Except no bang and that the wtc had the collapse happen 10 seconds before the exoskeleton collapsed
The building at 12:49 is the Detroit New Center Howard Johnson Motor Lodge.
I remember watching a video several years back of when they demolished a low-income apartment complex called Cabrini Green in Chicago. Cabrini Green was a classic, big city low-income property that had a very bad gang, drug and crime problem and when they demolished the property, all 12-14 of the buildings went down in sequence and it was fascinating to watch
Those "Projects" were copied by the British and the British ones were just as socially disastrous: they were the architectural expression of contempt for "the ordinary Joe" who thankfully can't comprehend that his existence is in the hands of plunderers whose political minions were installed by his own kind.
Thanks for not ruining the experience with obnoxious music!
All work that went into planning, funding, engineering, constructing and then taking care of these buildings, and in the blink of an eye, they are turned to dust. An immensely enjoyable feeling when the demolitions are crisp and the building falls nicely to the ground, but when one contemplates the pile of dust, it makes me kinda sad.
It's like watching a ship sink. All those man hours gone to waste...
just imagine if your car or your laundry were outside at the time of demolition.......lol
Just imagine WTC 1, 2, 7.
5:02 looks like someone tried to do parkour while it was collapsing lol
