Demolition of the 16-story Marriott Residence Inn in Arlington, Virginia, by wrecking ball.
Produced by John Z Wetmore, producer of "Perils For Pedestrians".
Nothing quite like a wrecking ball demolition, you're never quite sure what each strike will do, a game of anticipation.
Using a wrecking ball seems like a test of patience. :)
i know it's kinda randomly asking but does anyone know of a good place to watch new tv shows online ?
@Alberto Jackson flixportal :D
@Zayden Colt Thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service :) I appreciate it!
@Alberto Jackson No problem =)
What a great video I enjoy watching your videos I like your videos a lot keep making great videos
gotta love the wrecking ball! while i understand that it's slow and dusty, i sure do wish they'd use it more often!
I wish demo companies would use wrecking balls more often too. I gpt to see one used on a hospital while back. So fun seeing that ball swing!
It's 3.51 his chins gone. He looks like 'the chinless wonder !'
Luv watching this stuff!
This is what you get when the operator is on an hourly contract
So relaxing to watch.
The Last Time I Seen A Wrecking Ball Was In The 1970s I Thought They Out Law Using That For Demolition ..
I think it outlawed in certain parts of America but still allowed in some states on special jobs .not positive but that's what I've heard
Why were they out law anyone know?
Pourquoi vous ne faite pas une démolition contrôlé ???
I havnt seen a wrecking ball in a long time.
Be happy about it .. 😎
The poor man's high-reach CAT. (probably the lowest bidder)
These seem to work their best when they are shaped like a rock candy sucker. The force is greater because there is less surface area for them to contact the work.
Can I know the name of the demolition contractor?
Berg was the demolition contractor. I do not know if they subcontracted for the wrecking ball.
Check out the video of a norwegian helicoptor use a wrecking ball on un stable cliff above a highway its badass
Interesting subject. Thanks. We don't get to see a wrecking ball used much. This seems to go quite a bit faster than nibbling away with concrete shears. But with less control, it seems.
Good photography, with a nice variation between closeups and wider shots. My only suggestion is I'd like to see a few more very wide shots to see how the crane reacts to all this abuse.
Thanks for the suggestion. I should have a chance to film some more next week before they finish, and I plan to try some new camera angles.
@@JohnZWetmore What kind of hotel is being demolished by a wrecking ball?
It was a Marriott Residence Inn.
@@JohnZWetmore thanks
@@user-nm1ov2mr3yone that they didn't want anymore. 😂
The piece of reinforced concrete towards the bottom of the screen at 1.21 looks like a person's head, seen from the left hand side, with eye, nose & mouth on the left, a strong jaw and and ear to the right. Seems a shame to smash it up really !
When did this demolition happen?
Spring, 2021. This video was filmed on May 5, 2021.
@@JohnZWetmore Great that crane and ball is still in use; I wish UK hadn't outlawed this excellent demolition method through an overdose of health and safety.
Was that a rat or squirrel scurrying around and jumping out ff the wrecking ball near the beginning?
Concrete buildings need blowing up!, this will take forever as it just bounces off!
That place was built to take a punch. I wonder if there is a point where there is such a rats nest of rebar that the ball can no longer work effectively.
At the end of the video the Building stand up again
got to be a faster way than this
they couldve used explosions for the demolition bc its faster-..
Démolition Control .+It's better ...
Slow as a hell. Boring to look at.
Oh , like your sister ?
