Three-storey New Orleans house felled in seconds.
How long does it take to demolish a three-storey house? Yes, we realise this is a “how long is a piece of string” question that makes no allowance for variables such as building materials, construction methods, machines used, location etc.
But, taking all of that into account, what do you reckon? A Day? Five Hours?
How about 17 seconds! In fact, it probably took longer to station the pair of excavators in the correct position.
We’ll leave you to decide what this says about New Orleans construction methods. But if you are in Louisiana and can’t understand why all the golf courses and diners are filled with demolition men after 08.30 in the morning, now you know.
