#demolition #hardwork #demolitionday #throwback
Over all the years i watched these demo's This is the #1 group on earth !
That's a fact no one comes close to being good as CDI there are few companies that do the job well but no where near the level CDI operates.
"Nice job, guys!" Absolutely.
Awesome. I remember seeing this up close in the early 90s as the projects were knocked down in Newark, NJ. To feel the vibrations from the explosions is special.
Very impressive - safe, controlled demolition! 👍
My dad owned a demolition business and he only dealt with C. D. I. I've worked alongside them myself, and have seen how professional they are. Wizards of the industry for sure.
Happy Throwback Thursday!
u mental dement
Great Video CDI, Thank you.
Master's at what they do!
Amazing! 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
Merci!
I can imagine what the birds thought of it .
Wow crazy
How about putting up the 1988 documentary about the Travelers building in Boston..
No! I was there (standing in front of the Federal Reserve building) and it’ll just remind me how old I am.
One small part (elevator tower?) didn't go into the basement, but onto the street below, it seems.
Just curious, but why is this demolition from 2005 being uploaded in 2024?
These guys have been doing demolitions for decades, they have footage going back years that has not been seen yet.
Ask not. just be amazed by their artistry, regardless of when you witness it relative to its actual occurrence.
As a throwback; it was uploaded on a Thursday
Cdi could you link volunteers of america building demolition?
Another well-done video, especially the aerial view. It's very interesting to see the sequence of the detonations. The aerial view shows much better the actual collapse. Other views have too much of the dust cloud obscuring what's happening.
I think I see in the lower left corner of the aerial view the very first explosion. I had never thought before (duh) that when the plunger is pushed down, it sets off just one explosion that starts the whole chain reaction through all the miles of carefully placed wires.
It occurs to me, and what do I know, that only one detonation would be used to start the process. To me, multiple wires into the plunger might not fire at exactly the same time, which could affect the planned sequence. Or maybe a couple seconds doesn't matter. Like I said, what do I know?
I appreciate your responses to my previous comments. Way cool! I can feel a tiny part of the team.
amazing how they do that! 🤔
Wait, where's Bill? Wasn't he using the bathroom inside?
😅😂
Nice but I have to wonder why it took 9 years to be posted on TH-cam?
That was like not having to wipe afterwards.
Man, this is so sad :(
Sad indeed. That's what "cvilization" has come to -- utter waste, the more the better. Insanity.
This shows just how stupid our corporate government is. Destroy a reasonably sound building instead of creating more housing for at least the homeless.
AAAAHH CHOOOOOOOO!
COUGH HACK.
1:26 from that angle kind of reminds me of the Lubyanka.
В каком году оно было построено?
Opened in 1912
What a waste of a building. That frontage was good looking.
Thought the same thing. Such waste.
The old 2,000 bed hospital dated from 1912. Can you imagine the cost of updating a building that old? Think in terms of HVAC systems alone. I'm sure that 88 years of wear and tear had taken their toll. The structure may not have been in good enough condition to renovate.
Waste? It was a derelict building with no architectural value, let alone economic value.
@ArthurDentZaphodBeeb A lot of cities are preserving frontages and rebuilding modern structures behind them. For historical reasons.
0:41 What was that flash along left side of screen? Extra primacord?
Isn't that where they took Elvis?
That's correct, my friend
0:34 What was that flash at bottom of screen? Extra blasting caps detonated?
What a shame.
what I'm I seeing in the courtyard space at 1:59 ? the line that flashes across it. Det cord or ...... what? a cemera illusion from a projectile.
as _ALL those Lingering Souls were _Finally Released from their prison of Bricks & Morter. 💀
This is why cities in the US, by comparison to the European, are so terribly ugly.
Just tear down everything nice, keep the trash and let’s build cheap
Well, yeah. Nobody makes money by keeping an old building. The US is about money. Nothing else. Money.
@@garryferrington811 did you ever have to do a renovation of your house?
@@tdrs1765. Have either of you seen the photos of the White House being renovated? I didn’t know that it had been until recently. The entire house was gutted and only the exterior walls were kept. It’s really something to see huge pieces of construction equipment on the inside. I saw the photos on TH-cam. 😊

There’s a short article in Wikipedia about the hospital. At one time, it was the largest privately owned hospital in the US.
