@zagdankrzysztof7162 no, Frank Dibnah knew what he was doing. He spent his life on chimneys and died of natural causes in his bed. This video is tragic. If basic safety procedures had been followed that guy would still be walking around today.
The fact he didnt even tie off to the basket was insane. if you look down the building, you can see all the beams have been cut up to him. obviously the building was ready to collapse at any moment.
I counted at least 7 support beam attachments that had been already cut through before they cut the one that made it collapse. I don't know what else they expected to happen, this ending seemed obvious.
The only explanation that makes sense for them deliberately cutting like that is that they expected the interior hanging portion to fall by itself with the outside structure remaining. They didn't realize it was structurally supporting the outside as well somehow.
@@sango_wango851If they really wanted to achieve that they would have needed one worker at every beam i guess, even then it still a really weird way of doing it
Two of them were stuck, look to the right of their basket towards the top of the screen, another crew was on the other side and the same thing happend there as well, one left in the basket while the other plunged to his death.
He had such a will to live, I really wish he made it. I couldnt imagine jumping a railing and running as far as he did while everything's moving and twisting. Rest in peace man
He nearly made it to the crane basket. Can see his arm barely missing to grasp it as he falls under it. To think a faster hustle of only a second could have been the deciding factoring between life and death.
Poor guy, but it doesn't mean that the guy was wonderful, and the bosses were bad. At the end of the day, you are responsible for your own safety. Leaving your safety in the hands of the regulatory bureaucrat or your bosses... that's stupid. The state is not a supreme being, nor is our dad or mom. As individuals, we have to take responsibility because in the end, each one is the one who pays the worst cost.
What a stupid error, why is he up that high on an unstable building without cable ??? I not only blame the worker but I blame whoever sent him up there.
Best of luck with that blame mate. It’s Russia. The country that nationalistically harks back to the time they made conscripts chase their brother into MG40 fire so they could pick his gun because they only had 1 gun for every 2 soldiers. Life being cheap is something of a tradition there it seems/
They make fall protection retractable cables 50 ft in length that are attach to the basket and then to the back of a fall protection harness. Guardian Diablo brand is the best. These cables uncoil slowly as a man walks carfully towards any fall hazard to work. If he moves more than 5 mph, like falling over an edge accidentally (or after just missing the jump for a basket) the cable locks, holds him suspended, and gives a chance to survive. Yes, it will allow you to run towards the basket at full speed. It does not lock as cable flows in. It only locks if cable flows out too fast. Fall Harness (best brand) ExoFit Strata cost $900. Guardian Deablo( Big Block Heavy Duty) 50 ft Diablo is $900. R.I.P. brother and prayers to your family.
The thing is it looked like they were purposefully cutting the supports around the center to make it collapse. Right after he cut the third one in a row at that one spot it did collapse. It's like they were playing with fire and knew it.
I dont think it was holding it together there are many surounding pilliars. It did pull it down cause they cut too many supports of the canopy and its mass took it all down. Really dumb. The could have used shape charges and not risk lives. They were maybe trying to cut most of the tie ins and then demo it with less charges.

Yeah how did the drone operator know that was going to happen? I'd assume it caught everyone by surprise. So tragic. Heart goes out to his family. They miss him every day.
The basket hanging by the crane should have been right next to the worker. He would have had some time to grab onto it. Also, I wonder if he would have survived by sitting down on the roof as it went down? Looked like the whole thing just went down to the center and nothing was dropping on top of it.

Among all the obvious and glaring safety issues, the severe lack of planning, the general lack of appreciation for what you are doing versus what can happen and the physical forces involved, the extreme negligence on the part of the safety department, and the lead engineers on this demolition project, I am amazed that both cranes survived the building collapse, and the only apparent casualties are the 2 workers on the roof, one by each man basket, cutting the beams that could be cut from the basket. This whole demolition of the inner roof was just haphazardly conceived and done. Looks like it was planned by some kid in 3rd grade. These workers died for no reason at all, except extreme stupidity and greed. Typical result, sadly.
1 worker died. One basket had 2 workers in it still, the other just 1 after his partner made it to the basket but was clipped off by the falling cement wall.

I am a structural engineer and the way I understand this collapse is that the roof of the structure was hanging from a circular beam. The were two reaction forces at the points where the circular roof was connected to the perimeter beam : Upwards reaction forces and out of the circle, like when you stretch a piece of cloth. Vertical forces at connection points were supported by the columns and horizontal forces were supported by the huge beam at the top. When all of these forces around the perimeter are combined, the outward forces balance and cancel each other out. But as he cuts the connection points one by one he releases the reaction forces one by one and increases the forces in points where the roof is still connected. This creates bending in the circular perimeter beam which it isn't designed for and this causes the failure of the perimeter beam structure. All buildings should be studied well before coming up with a demolition plan and stages.
But what you see was the demolition plan. It is exactly what you posited that they wanted to have occur to bring the structure down. Simply it happened a little too fast. Nothing a strain gauge on the last piece being cut would not have told them of impending failure. But, hey, that is an extra cost.
I took part in the building of this stadium in 1972. When I returned to SPB in 1979, it was not ready. When I visited again there in 1982 the Norwegian skate team had its training in the stadium.

Thank goodness we have OSHA in the US that helps enforce safety rules on the job so tragedies like this are less likely. Nevertheless, it's so important to remain vigilant and always fight for workers' safety.
When OSHA was first enacted, there was a tremendous lobbying effort to stop its approval. Of course, it was industries that persistently violated safety rules that opposed OSHA. Those industries fabricated lies to convince the workers that OSHA was not in their best interest.
Absolutely. There has been a decades-long campaign of propaganda be those who think they profit more from no rules -- wealthy corporations and business scofflaws -- who don't really care about safety or their workers, for whom ethics and values all bend to the almighty dollar, and would have us all believe that rules to protect workers are somehow wrong, when if you really care about people then nothing could be further from the truth. All of us, and especially the workers who work in dangerous professions, along with their families, need to know that too often the only thing between them and death, dismemberment, or permanent injury, is a sensible OSHA rule and inspectors to help back it up. The tragic accidents like the one in the video are completely preventable. We can't let wealthy, selfish interest tell us otherwise. We can't have worker lives needlessly and carelessly lost, and love ones left to bear the sorrow that surely the family and friends of that poor stadium worker had to endure. But that requires a strong OSHA, good elected officials to make it happen, and us to keep an eye on them to do it right.
So true, I’m in Australia and we have similar occupational health/safety safety nets (however they still get broken). So lucky to not or at least less likely to be put in situations like this poor fella. If you’re interested it is worth watching the doco on the building of the Hoover dam (great structures of the world series) and the struggles the workers had for their safety with the head honcho in charge of it. Also Union officials I believe were bullied (or beaten) sad what our forefathers had to endure in the name of building a safer workplace
@@grahamparsons1070 Thank you for the Australian perspective! And indeed, here in the USA, there is a sordid and difficult history of union struggles over the last 150 years - one that unfortunately it not often taught in our schools or even in university -- that brought about OSHA and the state of affairs today, in which there are rules and regs. And things are much better as a result. However, at the same time, adequate (funding of) enforcement is always an issue, and continual attempts by wealthy corporations (whose priority, purpose, and only thing they really value is profit and not worker welfare) to undermine regs, subvert enforcement agencies, and roll back laws via power wielded in the political process (through buying access and campaign contributions) threaten progress. Workers and their supporters must remain vigilant, certainly.
So many people on here bashing this guy?? I agree there were bad decisions made. But... anyone who has done real work, and real dangerous work as I have done for many years, and like this poor guy was doing, knows that this type of thing could happen anytime to any worker. Use it to learn from and pray for his family who are left alone. But don't make fun of him.
0.29 he was cutting the rim of the roof. the roof was the TENSION the held the structure in place. they KNEW it would go down. THE REASON for flying a DRONE during demolition.....
Looks like a scene from a Hollywood movie like San Andreas or something. The cage should have been much closer. I can tell you what went through his mind when he missed the cage- his life flashed before his eyes. Tragic and very sad. 11-6-2021
@@thegamepz he caused the stadium to collapse tho, thats not even an accident at that point its just suicide. What else is supposed to happen? He float?
They thought the side with the columns would stay as the roof detached. It's not a worker's job to understand how a structure will react. A worker does the job he is assigned by his boss, who is supposed to ensure the worker's safety.
In this case he was cutting the branch while sitting on the correct side. The tree was thrown out of balance by the fall of the branch. I'm not saying it wasn't preventable, just that from a worker's point of view he was doing the right thing. His boss is the one who messed up
I expect that it most likely would have had a good outcome without the amount of snow on the thing they were trying to cut loose (yes I know, it still is a very bad idea to cut something away like this as the tension will only make the effect of sudden release of tension even worse the more you cut) but I guess it was just more weighed down from all the snow than if there would not have been any snow on it.
@@manny_f for sure. but in other countries a boss just wouldn't suggest you leave the man cage without being harnessed.your supposed to be clipped to the side hand rail of the cage i just hope the right investigations are done and the people held accountable
No, bosses there don’t put much value on workers safety or any value on their lives. They’re the ones to blame for everything. He was just following their shiety orders
Was this the goal? Were they tearing it down? And the structure wasn’t nice enough to forgive their lack of knowledge of physics… or simple weights and measures?
Дело в том что сносить это строение было запрещено потому как это было историческим зданием. Но эту землю очень хотели продать для домов. В итоге наняли бедолагу за 5 тысяч. Ещё ему даже пожалели ремней купить безопасности. В итоге он упал и умер
This may be the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen in any type of Construction Accident on TH-cam!! While you really want to feel sorry for the guy that didn’t make it, how on earth do you not understand and realize what’s about to happen!!?? This structure pulls from every side to its center….with every disengagement of those contact points, tremendous energy is building up. It would be impossible for the outer platform where the workers are to not fall apart in a chain reactive release of energy!! This is just so sad to watch as even a little common sense applied would have prevented such a tragedy. Someone needed to sue somebody!!!
I’m not an engineer but I do work in construction. It was clear from the get go that this was going to end poorly. Now, in Russia where live has no value, a few men lost doesn’t mean much. This would be a very inexpensive demolition.

When all of these forces around the perimeter are combined, the outward forces balance and cancel each other out.
But as he cuts the connection points one by one he releases the reaction forces one by one and increases the forces in points where the roof is still connected.
This creates bending in the circular perimeter beam which it isn't designed for and this causes the failure of the perimeter beam structure.
All buildings should be studied well before coming up with a demolition plan and stages.
Very interesting but I do not care!
I care, thank you for breaking it down for the rest of us! And fuck that guy lol
As a construction engineer, your explanation is amazing, good
But what you see was the demolition plan. It is exactly what you posited that they wanted to have occur to bring the structure down. Simply it happened a little too fast. Nothing a strain gauge on the last piece being cut would not have told them of impending failure. But, hey, that is an extra cost.

I took part in the building of this stadium in 1972. When I returned to SPB in 1979, it was not ready. When I visited again there in 1982 the Norwegian skate team had its training in the stadium.

Whatever he was cutting with that torch was literally all that was holding that roof together. Wonder what happened to the people down below.
He almost reached the basket. RIP 🕯 💐
Godamn. I mean he was RIGHT there with his hands out to grab it and everything. The time it took him to stand up was literally the deciding factor in whether he lived or died. He took too long to get up and run
Been laid down for a while in tje cold.. Also arms down.. Probably had no blood in his legs haah an imagine how much you would shit it if everything starts collapse.. He really should have used a harness.. His own fault he dies
@Potato huh
6.5 seconds. 6 seconds and he lives....
It really is a split second that can decide your fate.
What killed him was the little fence-type thing he had to jump over. If he hadn't have had to leap over that he would be alive today.
This is the most memorable video I've watched on TH-cam. Condolences to his family & friends.

Thank goodness we have OSHA in the US that helps enforce safety rules on the job so tragedies like this are less likely. Nevertheless, it's so important to remain vigilant and always fight for workers' safety.
When OSHA was first enacted, there was a tremendous lobbying effort to stop its approval. Of course, it was industries that persistently violated safety rules that opposed OSHA. Those industries fabricated lies to convince the workers that OSHA was not in their best interest.
Absolutely.
There has been a decades-long campaign of propaganda be those who think they profit more from no rules -- wealthy corporations and business scofflaws -- who don't really care about safety or their workers, for whom ethics and values all bend to the almighty dollar, and would have us all believe that rules to protect workers are somehow wrong, when if you really care about people then nothing could be further from the truth. All of us, and especially the workers who work in dangerous professions, along with their families, need to know that too often the only thing between them and death, dismemberment, or permanent injury, is a sensible OSHA rule and inspectors to help back it up.
The tragic accidents like the one in the video are completely preventable. We can't let wealthy, selfish interest tell us otherwise. We can't have worker lives needlessly and carelessly lost, and love ones left to bear the sorrow that surely the family and friends of that poor stadium worker had to endure. But that requires a strong OSHA, good elected officials to make it happen, and us to keep an eye on them to do it right.
Not for much longer. America is going to hell a lot faster than anyone thinks if Trump doesn’t get back in
So true, I’m in Australia and we have similar occupational health/safety safety nets (however they still get broken). So lucky to not or at least less likely to be put in situations like this poor fella. If you’re interested it is worth watching the doco on the building of the Hoover dam (great structures of the world series) and the struggles the workers had for their safety with the head honcho in charge of it. Also Union officials I believe were bullied (or beaten) sad what our forefathers had to endure in the name of building a safer workplace
@@grahamparsons1070 Thank you for the Australian perspective! And indeed, here in the USA, there is a sordid and difficult history of union struggles over the last 150 years - one that unfortunately it not often taught in our schools or even in university -- that brought about OSHA and the state of affairs today, in which there are rules and regs. And things are much better as a result. However, at the same time, adequate (funding of) enforcement is always an issue, and continual attempts by wealthy corporations (whose priority, purpose, and only thing they really value is profit and not worker welfare) to undermine regs, subvert enforcement agencies, and roll back laws via power wielded in the political process (through buying access and campaign contributions) threaten progress. Workers and their supporters must remain vigilant, certainly.
Russian Health and Safety right there.
What’s sad is you can see him leap for the safety basket but he was just a few feet away. You can see he even pushes it and makes it swing
The railing hits the basket making it swing. Making him unable to reach it
That’s freaking insane. By cutting that one spot the entire building collapsed.
Many of the other beams had already been cut. Cut enough and eventually it will collapse.
not really, thats how buildings work lol
Russia and China.. next level safety cultures.
Why didn't he run for the basket? And why was his harness not attached to the basket? Only in Russia!
He DID RUN FOR THE BASKET. You should look again, and then try running during an earthquake. Its about the same...
He reached the basket, looks like he couldn't grab on properly with the thick gloves.
r u blind?
Looks like the cement wall clipped him off, but you are right he probably had welding gloves on.@@BeamRider100
Real stupid to be out there without a line to the cage. How easy that would have been to connect... this is a Darwin Award winner.
This is awful. May that man Rest in Peace and let this be a lesson to us all. God Bless him and his family xx
Yes, if we are cutting a stadium roof we should be careful.
What lesson ? We have learnt the lessons in civilized countries with osha rules , this is totally without any rules so no lessons to be learnt .
@@brain8484 doesn't mean it cannot be learned; just choose not to out of sake of justification.
doubt any lesson will be learned they are killing their country men for nothing in urkaine so , im pretty sure they dont care about this dead worker.
@@kempnda For Putin's pride.
One thing is sure and that one is that he will never make the same mistake again
He got on the board of the safety basket. If you zoom in you see both men on it.
That's horrible. Unbelievable the falling debris didn't take out the crane and kill at least two other people as well. Horrible planning.
Rest in Peace brother, and God bless your family...
How does no one think to have a safety line hooked to the guy?
Terrible
The finer moments of corruption
Damn. I was rooting for him. "GO GO GO! GET TO THE BASKET!!!"
RIP man.
Safety equipment is not for when you know an accident will happen. Safety equipment is something you always use hoping you will never need it.

If your boss won't care for you, then you ought take precautions for yourself which he did not do.
0.29 he was cutting the rim of the roof.
the roof was the TENSION the held the structure in place.
they KNEW it would go down.
THE REASON for flying a DRONE during demolition.....
Looks like a scene from a Hollywood movie like San Andreas or something. The cage should have been much closer. I can tell you what went through his mind when he missed the cage- his life flashed before his eyes. Tragic and very sad. 11-6-2021
This is no problem, we have a hundred fifty million more more workers in Russia.
Life is so fragile. Sometimes a second or two is the difference between life and death.
you know as a human you can always say no if someone tells you to do something stupid
Not in Russia or Eastern Europe. There you do what you have to do. If it’s not you it will be someone else
@@thegamepz he caused the stadium to collapse tho, thats not even an accident at that point its just suicide. What else is supposed to happen? He float?
They thought the side with the columns would stay as the roof detached. It's not a worker's job to understand how a structure will react. A worker does the job he is assigned by his boss, who is supposed to ensure the worker's safety.
@@Renard380 ok so he did the right thing by dying here?
@@scalz420 Bro how did you fail to understand his statement and reply with such a stupid fucking comment lmao
Cutting by torches rather than controlled charges, nuts
isn't this the same as cutting a tree limb off while you're sitting on it?
In this case he was cutting the branch while sitting on the correct side. The tree was thrown out of balance by the fall of the branch. I'm not saying it wasn't preventable, just that from a worker's point of view he was doing the right thing. His boss is the one who messed up
0:26mark you see his hands lose grip and miss the basket
The cement wall knocked him off.
That poor man. What a terrifying way to die 😞
It was quick. People dying of cancer during years of anguish is worse
Things to come for mother Russia
I’ve never been so grateful for OSHA.
So sad!!!
Ну дак, ептыть !
It is just staggering that they didn't realize the ramifications of what they were doing and the forces involved
I expect that it most likely would have had a good outcome without the amount of snow on the thing they were trying to cut loose (yes I know, it still is a very bad idea to cut something away like this as the tension will only make the effect of sudden release of tension even worse the more you cut) but I guess it was just more weighed down from all the snow than if there would not have been any snow on it.
It was at this exact moment. He realised he had fucked up.
What were they thinking?
Know that monkey playing those percussion instruments in Homer Simpsons head?
man he almost got back on the man cage god bless him
Had it not been for that fence he had to jump he would have made it.
@@manny_f for sure. but in other countries a boss just wouldn't suggest you leave the man cage

The man cutting made it into the basket at the last instant. You can see him getting in there with the man waiting within. Wait...no he didn't. RIP.
I'm now asking myself, why was he on the roof without any safety equipment drilling himself down?
Now you know how they defeated Hitler
@@gistfilmthrough stupidity?
bro did not study physics
No, bosses there don’t put much value on workers safety or any value on their lives. They’re the ones to blame for everything. He was just following their shiety orders
That was a really stupid thing to do. Whose idea was it to take down the roof that way?
Did they blame Ukraine for this?
"Safety First" is not a thing in Russia.
India & China as well.
Dont laugh at the man on the roof. He died . . .
Was this the goal? Were they tearing it down? And the structure wasn’t nice enough to forgive their lack of knowledge of physics… or simple weights and measures?
Quality russian materials no doubt !
This is murder
More like suicide.
this 2020 is a bad year
He cut 1 piece of rebar and the whole stadium collapsed. Russian engineering at its best.

Дело в том что сносить это строение было запрещено потому как это было историческим зданием. Но эту землю очень хотели продать для домов. В итоге наняли бедолагу за 5 тысяч. Ещё ему даже пожалели ремней купить безопасности. В итоге он упал и умер
This may be the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen in any type of Construction Accident on TH-cam!! While you really want to feel sorry for the guy that didn’t make it, how on earth do you not understand and realize what’s about to happen!!?? This structure pulls from every side to its center….with every disengagement of those contact points, tremendous energy is building up. It would be impossible for the outer platform where the workers are to not fall apart in a chain reactive release of energy!! This is just so sad to watch as even a little common sense applied would have prevented such a tragedy. Someone needed to sue somebody!!!
Uh, its called a safety line.
That guy tried his hardest to get to safety….but he just couldn’t make it in time…..
I’m not an engineer but I do work in construction. It was clear from the get go that this was going to end poorly.
Now, in Russia where live has no value, a few men lost doesn’t mean much. This would be a very inexpensive demolition.
Wow what a vile thing to say about another country. You act like there's no construction accidents in America.
