My daughter (who was about 5 at the time) and I were watching an old building being demolished and she named the equipment doing the work. For that reason and from that moment until the end of time, I shall always refer to excavators with grappling claws as "grabbers" and wrecking balls swung from cranes as "ball smashers".
Watching wrecking balls demolish structures has fascinated me since I was a very young kiddo. I have always been a nerdy girl. 🤓 I assume there's more skill involved in safely and effectively using a wrecking ball than most folks think.
Can remember watching the demolition ball knocking down buildings from London bomsites in the early 60s...even using winch cables attached to a dozer to pull them down...great job satisfaction....👍👍
Its always sad to see well-constructed old brick and stone buildings with classic architectural details being pummeled to death; but I guess we all gotta go eventually. 🫤
The Cumbre Vieja volcanic ridge on the Spanish island of La Palma, part of the Canary Islands, located some 70 miles off the coast of Morocco, in northwest Africa, has been spewing lava since the 19th of September. The eruption has now continued for more than 50 days with no signs of abating. Already, it has destroyed more than 2,600 buildings, cut the coastal highway, and formed a new peninsula. The lava has also destroyed the town of Todoque, and the fuming flow has reached the town of La Laguna. This eruption has already caused more damage than any eruption on La Palma since records began, and it shows no sign of fading. There is a way to stop eruptions, or at least mitigate them significantly, and it has nothing to do with how we treat the earth, and everything to do with how we treat each other. Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, floods, and gigantic fires have all been growing more frequent and intense over the past several decades. But the forces that set them off are not related to the phenomena themselves, but to the human species, which intensifies them and causes them to erupt more frequently and fervently. Earth’s ecosystem is built like a pyramid. Its base is the inanimate level, the land masses and oceans that cover the planet. The next level is the flora, the plants that cover the earth, followed by the fauna, the animal kingdom, and at the top of the pyramid is humankind. The forces that govern the planet stretch from the top down. Like a hurricane, the eye of the storm is the least turbulent, but generates the mighty winds and torrents that surround it and destroy everything they touch. We are the eye of the storm. Our subtle but sinister intentions toward each other create the mayhem unfolding around us. It is therefore we, and only we who can calm the storm, for its engine is within us. Until we switch it off, the planet will keep burning. Nature is not only trees, animals, clouds, the earth, and the universe. Nature is first and foremost a force that fills all of reality. We exist within it and influence it through our conduct. When we, the top of the pyramid, conduct ourselves positively, we have a positive influence on all of nature. When we conduct ourselves negatively, this is the influence we have on everything. The pyramid-like structure of nature permeates all levels, including our thoughts and intentions. Therefore, when we spoil our intentions toward each other, the blight spreads downward like a cancer sending out its malignant metastases. If we want a calmer Earth and a kinder climate, we needn’t focus on carbon emissions or plastic waste. These will be fixed when we fix the top of the pyramid, the eye of the storm, namely our negative relation toward each other....
Here's the thing - most people are selfish acquisitive assholes or people who want nothing to do with said selfish acquisitive assholes, all governed by megalomaniacal sociopaths who want 99% of us dead. So there's that.

It's kind of a lost trade and skill to use a wrecking ball. It's really not just hitting. But I see they don't have a shock absorber. we used to take an old truck tire hang the w ball of the tire takes the shock off the crane.... It was still hooked to a cable for safety but the tire had the weight of the ball.

What is quicker in your opinion, wrecking ball or that machine that has the jaws and bites every thing in half. Sorry dont know the name of jaws thing.
A lot of the times ah building is condemned for many reasons tbh but just to name a few examples tho. A contractor is bidding too high of a cost to bring it up to the modern codes where it is way cheaper of a overall cost to simply rebuild it up to modern codes. Or their is a extreme health risk too the construction workers to be working around or in the building to be done safely. Or it is because of a structure fire or due to a failure in the engineering that has compromised the main support intergdy of the building.
Op 4min:04...blijf ik mij nog steeds verbazen, dat er geen veiligheidsnormen schijnen te bestaan, om het publiek op afstand te houden, maar ook verbaast het mij, dat men daar, terwijl het nogal grote gebouw naar voren komt, gewoon blijft staan zonder het gevaar te zien aankomen van vallende stenen en (goed voor de longen) een stofwolk, waar menig vulkaan jaloers op kan worden!!??

2:35 - aww look, it's a baby wrecking ball. One day it'll grow up and be able to knock down entire walls in one go.
To be honest he's doing a good job controlling that.

Very satisfying , I do enjoy demolition videos . The demo at 4.00 looked a bit dangerous , hopefully no one got hurt .

Looked like a doggie playing with a chew toy
Nice video!!!!
First one Looks like an old prison from the late 1800s. Where was this?
SO WHAT ???
@@mmaakkiiss1 what
2:40 Never seen a wrecking ball attached to a JCB. He could just use the claw.
And that wrecking ball was only the size of a cats goolie as well
Totally agree , what an absolute balloon 😊
You cant smash the concrete with the claw, it wont take it
Even if the claw worked (doubtful) the risk of damage to equipment would be greatly increased.

It would be nice if we knew where these structures were. 4:03 was the Philippines.

Lovely old bricks and lime mortar on that first building. someone is gonna make some easy salvage money there!
so many buildings that could be repurposed not destroyed...or just replaced by an ugly glass box!
By lime mortar you mean wet kitty litter that was allowed to dry?

Water should be used always to keep the dust down.
Awesome!
oh wrecking ball nice work

Must be a fun job😊
6:00 what’s the water for? Because they didn’t shut of the gas 😂 or to minimize dust?
Dust.
I cried seeing all of the slate roof tiles going to waste on the first one...
Most of the bricks would re-use as well.

Yep! They sure don't build them like they use to.
Surprised they still use the wrecking ball.
Yeah, I thought they were long out of fashion
By old style brick buildings ball is deadly efficient, but need very skilled operator.

some rather brave (foolish) excavator drivers out there - right kit for right job, not.
Значит здание было плохо построено, если так быстро разрушается.
