This is absolutely stunning. Great footage, majestic soundtrack, and a wrecking ball used with accuracy and care. This could become a Demolition News classic!

MGL Demolition this weekend completed the demolition of Fulbeck House and Glentworth House in Middlesbrough’s Netherfields area. These were built in 1968, and each 16-storey block comprised 90 flats.

A lottery to press “the button” raised money for Normanby’s Zoe’s Place and was won by schoolgirl Joanna Gray.

In light of the ongoing discussions regarding the inexperience ultra-high demolition excavator utilisation of some US contractors, and the willingness of others to use undersized machines, the outcome of this (quite old) video should become apparent about 21 seconds after it starts, even though it takes almost three minutes to reach its inevitable denouement.

OK, this is not quite live, but as we’re typing this text, this implosion in Montana happened less than an hour ago:

We’re hoping there will be some more professional footage such as this which was filmed during the preparation for today’s nicely controlled implosion.

Having bowed to reader pressure (temporarily at least) to continue to show videos of demolition gone wrong, here’s one from the (fairly recent) archives displaying at least one reason why the crawler crane and ball combination gave way to the high reach excavator in the ongoing evolution of demolition equipment.

Yesterday, we brought you a cracking video of a demolition project shot from the operator’s eye view. Well, today, we’re taking you even closer to the action with a video in which the inset picture was shot by a camera slung on the underside of a Cat 322C excavator’s boom.

A new video from DP Fuel Tank Services gives a useful and timely insight into how demolition SHOULD be controlled. We realise that this film will attract less visitors than a “demolition gone wrong” film, but as a website dedicated to best practice in the industry, this inside look at a daily Tootbox Talk makes a welcome change:
