RCA Building Demo (Part 4)

www.pedestrians...
Part 4. Demolition of the RCA Building in the Rosslyn area of Arlington, Virginia. The street was closed off for two weekends so that the part of the building cantilevered over the street could be demolished. It was built in 1969. It is being replaced by a 27-story apartment building.
Produced by John Z Wetmore, producer of "Perils For Pedestrians".

Always top-notch videography of demolition sites from Mr. John Z. Wetmore. Enjoyable to watch the various demolition companies at work and their techniques, whether with old-style crane and ball, or with high-reach hydraulic demolition excavators like this one.

Great job filming, John. Thanks.
Is that a refection of something across the street at 1:40:00 or do they really have a work area set up inside the building they are demolishing?

It's a reflection of the outdoor beer garden across the street:
