@@stevengrimes2115 Try breathing without them! We should be planting 2 trillion trees to replace the ones that we cut down in the last 200 years. Just in the US we're losing 36 million urban trees per year. That's why the earth can't even breathe without its lungs.
What a waste of a beautiful tree surely they could have demolished the building with out ripping tree to bits just what we need when we are crying out for replanting cut down a big mature tree of course money is always key and as long as these idiot have enough beer money it dont matter
Great memories for me too. My parents would go there and we would hang out in dad's 66 Mustang Fastback munching burgers and fries in the parking lot. I think a regular cheeseburger at our local McDonalds at that time costs like 25 cents.
This demolition makes absolutely no sense. He started off by ripping the tree and shrubbery showing no mercy. But then when it came to the bricks, he "carefully" scraped them off!
Because demo has to be sorted before it can be dumped. A painful lesson most people learn while remodeling after they filled the bed of a pick-up and took off for the dump.
Every little boys dream would be to run a big piece of heavy equipment and get to tear down a big building. I know mine was. That's why I just had to operate mobile cranes for the past twenty six years and loving every single minute of doing so. And even to today I still have a wish to do what this guys doing. To all the future equipment operators, stay in school, learn every little bit of everything you can and one day you'll be able to not only sit in the seat, but you'll get your wish to too and run big machinery just like this guy....😊
What I'll never understand with these demolitions is, why don't they remove all the glass before letting loose with the excavators, so much glass that could have so easily been repurposed, or recycled, I know they'll go through and recycle all the metal, but just watching all that glass go to waste, never to be used again is just disgusting.
Glass can’t be reused for anything else as it’s already been cut for those types of windows, you obviously aren’t a very smart person if you can’t figure that out 😂
@@Cooke125could be repurposed for green houses or maybe a garage window, but realistically it should have been taken to recycling along with the bricks, wood, so many things that were just sent to a landfill instead of being recycled or reused, but that’s I guess the ‘Mercian way 🤷♂️
The operator was trying to separate the materials for recycling, which is easier to do now than manually later by labor's, therefore cheaper costs. You can see another example of this as he separated metal into its own piles too
Welcome to McDonalds can I take your order please ... " yes I'll have one mcbush, shredded tree, mcbrick combo with extra insulation on the side, and a side of crushed glass " lol
*_Gotta love a good building demo.

Tree life matters. In my country, if a leafy tree of this size is slaughtered in such a cruel way, the entrepreneur is punished so much that he urinates into his own underwear. (Even if the tree was on private ground.)
We had a McDonald’s that was that way from 1974 to 21 or 22( I forgot ok?)I loved it when I was young and had the play place but it got knocked down and has a boring cookie cutter one in its place.
I miss rax we had a couple of them here where I grew up. one of the northside got tore down and rebuilt as an arbys and the one downtown is... well i have no idea what it is now cause i don't go downtown but its not a rax.
You obviously don't live in America. And, if you do, you've clearly never had to go through the process of bringing construction demo to a dump site. But, yeah, America bad and all that internet rah rah...
I'm a contractor, i dont take big jobs like this, mostly little ones with small excavators. But our local disposal site charges 120/ton for mixed construction debris, but they charge only 70/ton for clean wood, and 20/ton for bricks, tile, or masonry. Consiring the big price difference, and how many tons of materials there is to dump on this job, separating materials for recycling makes a lot of sense economically.
How old was this McDonald's it not the red roof (it just has red apstacts) or the 50s version so when was this on built, this kinda looks like an Applebee's is that just me or what!

Recycling has to be cost effective. To disassemble this store piece by piece so you can recycle individual items would cost a fortune and take forever. They did separate the metals for scrap though.
