You gotta love this Jurassic Park-style house destruction! Seriously, though, when I watch skillfully operated heavy machinery like this, I'm always impressed. The term "Brick Wall" is typically a metaphor for something extremely solid. With a little flick of a lever inside the cab - CRUNCH- SMASH-TOPPLE -easy peasy. That shovel can just pass right through a house like it's not there. Quite impressive.
They grab any copper pipes that they see, and large pieces of steel, like girders in the basement ceiling. They might try to keep the masonry and concrete separate to be crushed and used as a subbase for paving. Pretty much everything else is shipped off to a landfill.
Wow. That machine operator came there with one thing on his mind. Get building to the ground quick as possible. He definitely knew what he was doing. Perfectly executed.
He would not get a job demolishing in Europe. The mess he created would be really difficult to recycle. When a machine operator demolish in Europe they sort the debree into containers. It is far easier to do it before hauling the containers away.
Why was the house demolished? Looks like it might have been in fairly good condition. Looks like it was built in the mid 20s or so? Federal styling, 2.5 stories, and probably a basement as well. All brick and a slate roof! They don’t make them like that anymore. I know the relative area, are they widening the roads?
Several houses on the block were being demolished to make room for an apartment building. It's two blocks from the subway station. This was one of the newer houses. I believe it was built around 1937. Most of the demolition rubble ended up in the basement until they trucked it off the next week. Arlington Road was widened to 4 lanes several decades ago. As a result, this house had a very shallow front yard. Most of the road widening in this part of the county took place in the 1950s and 1960s.
This Guy is really skilled. But here you see the difference. In Germany you must sort out Wood, Metal,other unrecycables or you pay on the Dump the Price for the most expensive deposing.(That can be 200-300% more than the normal Price)
Except for some of the copper and iron, most of it was hauled off as mixed waste. I don't know what they did with it on the other end. On the other hand, for this other demolition, the operator tried to keep the masonry separate from the other rubble and they were sent to separate places. th-cam.com/video/TY88zo-AfoY/w-d-xo.html
All waste and no attempt at salvage. A disgusting waste of earth resources. Last time I witnessed a demolition in the UK they stripped all the slate off the roof, all doors and windows were removed, and sold off site where practical, joists and floorboards stripped out and where not rotted saved for re-use, wiring and piping salvaged and then and only then did the big machinery move in.....
Here's my report to my home planet: "Sometimes metal dinosaurs attack human nests, and humans attempt to stop them by urinating on them." Correct me if I'm wrong, humans.
@Supersquid well squid, back stabbin' hypocrites, liars, tale tellers, immaturity, no live and let live, apart from that I hate them and the way they conduct themselves
Weak mortar in brickwork. Walls shouldn't crumble like that. House looks 50s or 60s mock-Georgian style. Good to see this operator wasn't wasting any time razing it to ground!
@John Z Wetmore that what I thought. My friend, who lives in Chevy Chase, were going to a Yoga class on Bethesda Row Tuesday and noticed the now demolished houses. I looked online and found some of those properties sold for up to $4 million - that’s insane!!!! I’m going to Sala Thai on Monday. I really hope those houses across the street are demolished. They’re an eyesore
@@jgallardo7344 When you are trying to assemble several small lots to create a big lot, you often end up paying a premium. The buildings across from Sala Thai are on land that is planned for redevelopment. I expect them to be demolished this year.
To tell you the truth, he looks like a decent Operator yes, but the way he demolished the house makes no sense. The objective is to keep the brick and wood separate. You don't intentionally knock the brick to the inside.
Also do you know what the address was or what is the nearest store or public building it is by because couldn't find it on Google maps with the info you gave.

if this were in the uk they would have been salvaged but anywhere else the time taken to remove everything to recycle is longer especially when it comes to the slate cos the roofs often have slates nailed directly to a board meaning a lot of them get damaged when removing them so its easy to just destroy the lot in one go
@@jasinere35 I know what your saying but I've made quite a few quid in past salvaging slates joists lintels to me it's like burning money but I'm in the UK i understand things are done differently else where
No entiendo porqué tanto desastre y tanto derroche! Evidentemente debe de haber razones economicas que desconozco Se destruyen por igual aberturas, ladrillos, estructuras de madera, tejas. Todo en perfecto estado para ser reutilizado! Y tanta necesidad en el mundo. Sin dudas pavos no son!!! Pero que intereses hay para no aprovechar nada!!!!
Good operator running that excavator! No wasted motion.
It's been a dream of mine ever since I was like 5 years old to drive an excavator..
What an irrelevant reply lol
What a shame to demolish that beautiful house.
Nostalgia. An old messy house. Hopeless to repair.
Thats what I was thinking maybe it belong to Jimmy seville.
Such a beautiful house gone to waste.
True 😕

In one sense yes in another sense no.

The Big Bad Wolf decided to get revenge
That looks like a really fun job to completely destroy a house to a pile of rubble! Awesome work!!👍👍
I don‘t get why they don‘t seem to care about separating stuff and remove the interior before crushing the house. Do they even recycle anything?
They grab any copper pipes that they see, and large pieces of steel, like girders in the basement ceiling. They might try to keep the masonry and concrete separate to be crushed and used as a subbase for paving. Pretty much everything else is shipped off to a landfill.
@@JohnZWetmore Do they try to save the slate roofing tiles to be reused for repairs on other homes/buildings ?
Been watching all these Arlington st demos and they all had so much character to them. such a waste. Great camera work as well

The hoser is really doing a great job- gets the water in the bucket to wet the next bite.
Good work guys! Recently, I witnessed a strange way of demolishing buildings with hands and feet.
Kept waiting for a Foreman or Inspector to show up.
“What the hell!! You’re supposed to be one block over!!!!!!”
this has happened before and it makes you sick when you see it. we always triple check
@@bigdave6331 I can’t imagine how awkward that would be

I really liked the part where he tore the house down.
OMG SAME.. what a coincidence
house: gets demolished
people in the comments section: whyyyyyyy it was so prettyyyyyyyy what a wasssstssstssteeeeee
Slate is very expensive where I live, nice demolition video though xxx
Also just waiting for the moment of Cleveland from Family Guy in the bath of going no no no no

People calm down. Yeah it’s a waste but they are just doing the work they are told and getting paid to do
what about the mixed waste , does that have to be sorted on site, good video john.

My question.....Why????? Such a beautiful brick house!!
Beautiful old house.

Operation is great, in Southeast Asia they don't use such a big machine to demolish old houses because it's too big, usually they use 140W machines.
08:29 looks like the amityville bedroom...
Opps! Wrong house again.
Aunt Gertrude calls Uncle Smitty a Home Wrecker, but he doesn’t work in construction.
Вспомнил фильм "Раз на раз не приходится"...............
Im sure they make new ones
I don't understand. Why knock down these beautiful old homes??
Here's my report to my home planet: "Sometimes metal dinosaurs attack human nests, and humans attempt to stop them by urinating on them."
Correct me if I'm wrong, humans.
I'd like to see that in backwards replay.
All this dust is making me sneeze, a bad time to have a cold.
Not this operator's first rodeo!
There's your plumbing problem, ma'am.
I would like to do this to my neighbours house - with 'em in it ! what joy
@Supersquid well squid, back stabbin' hypocrites, liars, tale tellers, immaturity, no live and let live, apart from that I hate them and the way they conduct themselves
That excavator operator hooks those wires it'll give new meaning to enlightened
Boss what do you mean we knocked down the wrong house?
Pourquoi vous détruisait les maison dans quelle but
A nice brick home destroyed, so sad.
It looks perfect especially where i live.
why did this home get demolitioned looked well maintained
Bethesda, Maryland, that's why.
The big question ? Why did they do it ?
Who’d tear down a clay fired 100% face brick house?
Another decent family home knocked down, to be replaced with a shoddy block of flats that will be dropping down in 30 years.
Weak mortar in brickwork. Walls shouldn't crumble like that. House looks 50s or 60s mock-Georgian style. Good to see this operator wasn't wasting any time razing it to ground!
Do you know the power of the machine
Has anyone on here seen the film Arlington Road - if not: go watch it immediately now don’t wait
Why the guy is pouring water on the walls?? To minimize the dust or what I don't get it
That's right. The water helps reduce the amount of dust.
Was it September 3 during day or fourth?
July 25, 2019.
Eminent Domain was not used in this case. The owners sold voluntarily and were paid a handsome premium by the developer.
Quel dommage, une si jolie maison de belle qualité ! Sera t'elle remplacée par une construction aux normes "durables" ... éphémère ?
У нас в Узбекистане,этот дом разобрали бы до последнего кирпичика,и вес строительный материал,продали бы на базаре, не дешевле чим новый .
Hang on gang, wrong address.
A house that would have taken three to four months to build is completely demolished in just 12 and a half minutes. Wow.
Por qué se moja al mismo tiempo??
What’s with the water? Why water
Shame, nice house but of modern construction.
A spray or fog keep the dust down so much better then a stream of water.
What a mess...doesn't look like any soft stip has been done whatsoever...
Мне показалось или кладка стен в пол кирпича?
Oh S... Wrong House!!
Такой красивый и уютный домик снесли. Ничего святого у людей:(
I could have recycled that TV antenna....
How much? I need help
that must be fun
So...? You're not gonna pay your homeowners tax, huh? Huh? OKAY! We'll fix you right away buster !
Are these inbetween Edgemoor and Moorland?
That's right. The site currently has a tower crane and the new apartment building is under construction.

Только в россии срок эксплуэтации жилья пока сам упадет!!!
Where is this
Bethesda, MD, on Arlington Road between Edgemoor and Moorland.
That was a nice before demalion.
Isn’t that a big waste of a perfect house ? Shame to the owners/developer……..

Thanks.
They are wasting beautiful homes!
You can see the house next door that they demolish later
This guys ex wife better hope she don’t get the house
Ломать не строить🥶
What a fucking crime! A waste of what seems like a well belt home & the appearance look's great.... bloody hell!
why knock it down
😢all this progress sad indeed
it looks stupid and unprofessional maybe they should take a look at how we work in the netherlands or germany
Is reason why they demolized this beautiful expensive house.
looks final.
Would have thought timbers and slates would have been salvaged

why do USA keep demolishing its own history.
It literally, and rightfully, makes me mad to see a beautiful home destroyed for no reason but just to make money.

Yes tearing down a good house for what?. A job? We don't need more of this ...
I hope they tore the fight one down
