He nearly made it to the crane basket. Can see his arm barely missing to grasp it as he falls under it. To think a faster hustle of only a second could have been the deciding factoring between life and death.
Poor guy, but it doesn't mean that the guy was wonderful, and the bosses were bad. At the end of the day, you are responsible for your own safety. Leaving your safety in the hands of the regulatory bureaucrat or your bosses... that's stupid. The state is not a supreme being, nor is our dad or mom. As individuals, we have to take responsibility because in the end, each one is the one who pays the worst cost.
Two of them were stuck, look to the right of their basket towards the top of the screen, another crew was on the other side and the same thing happend there as well, one left in the basket while the other plunged to his death.
The fact he didnt even tie off to the basket was insane. if you look down the building, you can see all the beams have been cut up to him. obviously the building was ready to collapse at any moment.
All the fancy safety equipment is for the person supervising, evidently. Resting on your elbows while you have a smoke is damn risky stuff. As for the guy who's working to actively compromise the very structure he is relying on for support: Comrade, that is what feet that run are for!
And to be serious, I'm not sure how they even expected this to work since the crane holding the basket can just as easily be toppled by the falling structure.
I dont think it was holding it together there are many surounding pilliars. It did pull it down cause they cut too many supports of the canopy and its mass took it all down. Really dumb. The could have used shape charges and not risk lives. They were maybe trying to cut most of the tie ins and then demo it with less charges.
He had such a will to live, I really wish he made it. I couldnt imagine jumping a railing and running as far as he did while everything's moving and twisting. Rest in peace man
Yeah how did the drone operator know that was going to happen? I'd assume it caught everyone by surprise. So tragic. Heart goes out to his family. They miss him every day.
The basket hanging by the crane should have been right next to the worker. He would have had some time to grab onto it. Also, I wonder if he would have survived by sitting down on the roof as it went down? Looked like the whole thing just went down to the center and nothing was dropping on top of it.
The thing is it looked like they were purposefully cutting the supports around the center to make it collapse. Right after he cut the third one in a row at that one spot it did collapse. It's like they were playing with fire and knew it.
What a bad end. Props to this e guy he showed amazing reflex, the jump from this little yard while the roof collapsed and the all reaction he made was unbelieveble fast. So pitty he missed it out by so close. Dude RIP

Been laid down for a while in tje cold.. Also arms down.. Probably had no blood in his legs haah an imagine how much you would shit it if everything starts collapse.. He really should have used a harness.. His own fault he dies
I don’t know what you guys are thinking about this was very unsafe work you could’ve use shape charges to blow that ring apart. I think that guy did not survive.😞
correct! but I can add that many/most Russians don't think that way: the explosives require extra materials, labor, and knowledge and because of that they won't be used. One typical Russian guy I knew would not maintain his bicycle unless there was a total failure. His theory if the bike can still move forward , then there is no need for repair "It's still working", anything else is a waste of time and money. He would see me frequently tuning, lubing, and cleaning mine and ask "Why your bike break so often?" Now expand that story to 11 time zones, and you get Russia.
0.29 he was cutting the rim of the roof. the roof was the TENSION the held the structure in place. they KNEW it would go down. THE REASON for flying a DRONE during demolition.....
Made in Russia. I hope Putin has given the safety engineer a medal for valor... valor in exposing his workers to such a predictably and effectively dangerous special disassembly operation.
What a stupid error, why is he up that high on an unstable building without cable ??? I not only blame the worker but I blame whoever sent him up there.
They make fall protection retractable cables 50 ft in length that are attach to the basket and then to the back of a fall protection harness. Guardian Diablo brand is the best. These cables uncoil slowly as a man walks carfully towards any fall hazard to work. If he moves more than 5 mph, like falling over an edge accidentally (or after just missing the jump for a basket) the cable locks, holds him suspended, and gives a chance to survive. Yes, it will allow you to run towards the basket at full speed. It does not lock as cable flows in. It only locks if cable flows out too fast. Fall Harness (best brand) ExoFit Strata cost $900. Guardian Deablo( Big Block Heavy Duty) 50 ft Diablo is $900. R.I.P. brother and prayers to your family.
@@greenogre22based on news articles of the incident only one person died, and I think we can safely assume it is the guy we see moving, so anyone else in the video survived. Whether they were injured or not is unclear
I am a structural engineer and the way I understand this collapse is that the roof of the structure was hanging from a circular beam. The were two reaction forces at the points where the circular roof was connected to the perimeter beam : Upwards reaction forces and out of the circle, like when you stretch a piece of cloth. Vertical forces at connection points were supported by the columns and horizontal forces were supported by the huge beam at the top. When all of these forces around the perimeter are combined, the outward forces balance and cancel each other out. But as he cuts the connection points one by one he releases the reaction forces one by one and increases the forces in points where the roof is still connected. This creates bending in the circular perimeter beam which it isn't designed for and this causes the failure of the perimeter beam structure. All buildings should be studied well before coming up with a demolition plan and stages.
But what you see was the demolition plan. It is exactly what you posited that they wanted to have occur to bring the structure down. Simply it happened a little too fast. Nothing a strain gauge on the last piece being cut would not have told them of impending failure. But, hey, that is an extra cost.
Looks like a scene from a Hollywood movie like San Andreas or something. The cage should have been much closer. I can tell you what went through his mind when he missed the cage- his life flashed before his eyes. Tragic and very sad. 11-6-2021
Thank goodness we have OSHA in the US that helps enforce safety rules on the job so tragedies like this are less likely. Nevertheless, it's so important to remain vigilant and always fight for workers' safety.
When OSHA was first enacted, there was a tremendous lobbying effort to stop its approval. Of course, it was industries that persistently violated safety rules that opposed OSHA. Those industries fabricated lies to convince the workers that OSHA was not in their best interest.
Absolutely. There has been a decades-long campaign of propaganda be those who think they profit more from no rules -- wealthy corporations and business scofflaws -- who don't really care about safety or their workers, for whom ethics and values all bend to the almighty dollar, and would have us all believe that rules to protect workers are somehow wrong, when if you really care about people then nothing could be further from the truth. All of us, and especially the workers who work in dangerous professions, along with their families, need to know that too often the only thing between them and death, dismemberment, or permanent injury, is a sensible OSHA rule and inspectors to help back it up. The tragic accidents like the one in the video are completely preventable. We can't let wealthy, selfish interest tell us otherwise. We can't have worker lives needlessly and carelessly lost, and love ones left to bear the sorrow that surely the family and friends of that poor stadium worker had to endure. But that requires a strong OSHA, good elected officials to make it happen, and us to keep an eye on them to do it right.
So true, I’m in Australia and we have similar occupational health/safety safety nets (however they still get broken). So lucky to not or at least less likely to be put in situations like this poor fella. If you’re interested it is worth watching the doco on the building of the Hoover dam (great structures of the world series) and the struggles the workers had for their safety with the head honcho in charge of it. Also Union officials I believe were bullied (or beaten) sad what our forefathers had to endure in the name of building a safer workplace
@@grahamparsons1070 Thank you for the Australian perspective! And indeed, here in the USA, there is a sordid and difficult history of union struggles over the last 150 years - one that unfortunately it not often taught in our schools or even in university -- that brought about OSHA and the state of affairs today, in which there are rules and regs. And things are much better as a result. However, at the same time, adequate (funding of) enforcement is always an issue, and continual attempts by wealthy corporations (whose priority, purpose, and only thing they really value is profit and not worker welfare) to undermine regs, subvert enforcement agencies, and roll back laws via power wielded in the political process (through buying access and campaign contributions) threaten progress. Workers and their supporters must remain vigilant, certainly.
@@toxa35 Come on -this was a needless and preventable tragedy. A fifty dollar harness from Home Depot would’ve saved his life. But go ahead and excuse the negligence. Then take another shot of vodka.

The cage was high mesh criss-cross. He had no chance of grabbing the side. Only the high top grab would work. - inaccessible basket entry design and selection - basket so far away; why? - no cable ties from person to basket for fall - no basic load distribution plan for demolition ($1,000 fee to any structural engineering firm for 3 hr consult) - no standard explosive demolition used - likely insufficient industry safety standards/promotion/culture or enforcement/penalties Cluster fuck of bad energies = failure.

@@thegamepz he caused the stadium to collapse tho, thats not even an accident at that point its just suicide. What else is supposed to happen? He float?
They thought the side with the columns would stay as the roof detached. It's not a worker's job to understand how a structure will react. A worker does the job he is assigned by his boss, who is supposed to ensure the worker's safety.
There was literally a camera drone up in the air waiting to film the moment of collapse. And you’re telling me, the worker couldn’t have expected this chain of events as he cut with a welding torch through one load-bearing steel bolt after another? 🤦
In this case he was cutting the branch while sitting on the correct side. The tree was thrown out of balance by the fall of the branch. I'm not saying it wasn't preventable, just that from a worker's point of view he was doing the right thing. His boss is the one who messed up
@@manny_f for sure. but in other countries a boss just wouldn't suggest you leave the man cage without being harnessed.your supposed to be clipped to the side hand rail of the cage i just hope the right investigations are done and the people held accountable
Sad, very sad .... he panicked and instead ran away from the crane line holding the Torch tanks and tools that stayed floating, no safety cord .... feels like when a terrible event has taken away the floor underneath us .... or did he get contracted to do a one man demolition task in this domino action ... comfort is one of our biggest deceptive feelings. Sad, he is or was a father, and the son of some unfortunate parents .... it could happen while a similar stadium is full with people.
I expect that it most likely would have had a good outcome without the amount of snow on the thing they were trying to cut loose (yes I know, it still is a very bad idea to cut something away like this as the tension will only make the effect of sudden release of tension even worse the more you cut) but I guess it was just more weighed down from all the snow than if there would not have been any snow on it.
Do Russians know about Safety harnesses and safety cables that can be attached to the basket?? Or how about staying in the basket and cutting the roof from the basket???
No, bosses there don’t put much value on workers safety or any value on their lives. They’re the ones to blame for everything. He was just following their shiety orders
Дело в том что сносить это строение было запрещено потому как это было историческим зданием. Но эту землю очень хотели продать для домов. В итоге наняли бедолагу за 5 тысяч. Ещё ему даже пожалели ремней купить безопасности. В итоге он упал и умер

Godamn. I mean he was RIGHT there with his hands out to grab it and everything. The time it took him to stand up was literally the deciding factor in whether he lived or died. He took too long to get up and run
Been laid down for a while in tje cold.. Also arms down.. Probably had no blood in his legs haah an imagine how much you would shit it if everything starts collapse.. He really should have used a harness.. His own fault he dies
@Potato huh
6.5 seconds. 6 seconds and he lives....
It really is a split second that can decide your fate.
What killed him was the little fence-type thing he had to jump over. If he hadn't have had to leap over that he would be alive today.
When you think the basket is just a means of transportation to get you up there
What a dumb way to die. Very russianeske
I don’t know what you guys are thinking about this was very unsafe work you could’ve use shape charges to blow that ring apart. I think that guy did not survive.😞
correct! but I can add that many/most Russians don't think that way: the explosives require extra materials, labor, and knowledge and because of that they won't be used. One typical Russian guy I knew would not maintain his bicycle unless there was a total failure. His theory if the bike can still move forward , then there is no need for repair "It's still working", anything else is a waste of time and money. He would see me frequently tuning, lubing, and cleaning mine and ask "Why your bike break so often?" Now expand that story to 11 time zones, and you get Russia.
Real stupid to be out there without a line to the cage. How easy that would have been to connect... this is a Darwin Award winner.
Terrible
0.29 he was cutting the rim of the roof.
the roof was the TENSION the held the structure in place.
they KNEW it would go down.
THE REASON for flying a DRONE during demolition.....
This is russia Ladies and Gentleman
Made in Russia.
I hope Putin has given the safety engineer a medal for valor... valor in exposing his workers to such a predictably and effectively dangerous special disassembly operation.
"in Russia." "safety engineer"
Those two concepts cannot coexist.
This is so sad.... :(
What a stupid error, why is he up that high on an unstable building without cable ??? I not only blame the worker but I blame whoever sent him up there.
Even a cable wouldn't have saved him. Nothing he could have attached it to that didn't collapse. What a horrible way to die😮
@@IcerinAlaska49
Sure it would. If he was connected to the cage
@@aljosapogrcin8769the video doesn‘t show whether the vehicle with its cage remained undamaged or not.
They make fall protection retractable cables 50 ft in length that are attach to the basket and then to the back of a fall protection harness. Guardian Diablo brand is the best. These cables uncoil slowly as a man walks carfully towards any fall hazard to work. If he moves more than 5 mph, like falling over an edge accidentally (or after just missing the jump for a basket) the cable locks, holds him suspended, and gives a chance to survive. Yes, it will allow you to run towards the basket at full speed. It does not lock as cable flows in. It only locks if cable flows out too fast. Fall Harness (best brand) ExoFit Strata cost $900. Guardian Deablo( Big Block Heavy Duty) 50 ft Diablo is $900. R.I.P. brother and prayers to your family.
@@greenogre22based on news articles of the incident only one person died, and I think we can safely assume it is the guy we see moving, so anyone else in the video survived. Whether they were injured or not is unclear
I am a structural engineer and the way I understand this collapse is that the roof of the structure was hanging from a circular beam.
The were two reaction forces at the points where the circular roof was connected to the perimeter beam : Upwards reaction forces and out of the circle, like when you stretch a piece of cloth.
Vertical forces at connection points were supported by the columns and horizontal forces were supported by the huge beam at the top.
When all of these forces around the perimeter are combined, the outward forces balance and cancel each other out.
But as he cuts the connection points one by one he releases the reaction forces one by one and increases the forces in points where the roof is still connected.
This creates bending in the circular perimeter beam which it isn't designed for and this causes the failure of the perimeter beam structure.
All buildings should be studied well before coming up with a demolition plan and stages.
Very interesting but I do not care!
I care, thank you for breaking it down for the rest of us! And fuck that guy lol
As a construction engineer, your explanation is amazing, good
But what you see was the demolition plan. It is exactly what you posited that they wanted to have occur to bring the structure down. Simply it happened a little too fast. Nothing a strain gauge on the last piece being cut would not have told them of impending failure. But, hey, that is an extra cost.
@@bobvidoni5898 Absolutely.
Looks like a scene from a Hollywood movie like San Andreas or something. The cage should have been much closer. I can tell you what went through his mind when he missed the cage- his life flashed before his eyes. Tragic and very sad. 11-6-2021
They treat human as shit in that country..
Which country dosnt treat their citizens like shit? It's not just Russia
Rest in Peace brother, and God bless your family...
That's horrible. Unbelievable the falling debris didn't take out the crane and kill at least two other people as well. Horrible planning.
That’s freaking insane. By cutting that one spot the entire building collapsed.
Many of the other beams had already been cut. Cut enough and eventually it will collapse.
not really, thats how buildings work lol
Thank goodness we have OSHA in the US that helps enforce safety rules on the job so tragedies like this are less likely. Nevertheless, it's so important to remain vigilant and always fight for workers' safety.
When OSHA was first enacted, there was a tremendous lobbying effort to stop its approval. Of course, it was industries that persistently violated safety rules that opposed OSHA. Those industries fabricated lies to convince the workers that OSHA was not in their best interest.
Absolutely.
There has been a decades-long campaign of propaganda be those who think they profit more from no rules -- wealthy corporations and business scofflaws -- who don't really care about safety or their workers, for whom ethics and values all bend to the almighty dollar, and would have us all believe that rules to protect workers are somehow wrong, when if you really care about people then nothing could be further from the truth. All of us, and especially the workers who work in dangerous professions, along with their families, need to know that too often the only thing between them and death, dismemberment, or permanent injury, is a sensible OSHA rule and inspectors to help back it up.
The tragic accidents like the one in the video are completely preventable. We can't let wealthy, selfish interest tell us otherwise. We can't have worker lives needlessly and carelessly lost, and love ones left to bear the sorrow that surely the family and friends of that poor stadium worker had to endure. But that requires a strong OSHA, good elected officials to make it happen, and us to keep an eye on them to do it right.
Not for much longer. America is going to hell a lot faster than anyone thinks if Trump doesn’t get back in
So true, I’m in Australia and we have similar occupational health/safety safety nets (however they still get broken). So lucky to not or at least less likely to be put in situations like this poor fella. If you’re interested it is worth watching the doco on the building of the Hoover dam (great structures of the world series) and the struggles the workers had for their safety with the head honcho in charge of it. Also Union officials I believe were bullied (or beaten) sad what our forefathers had to endure in the name of building a safer workplace
@@grahamparsons1070 Thank you for the Australian perspective! And indeed, here in the USA, there is a sordid and difficult history of union struggles over the last 150 years - one that unfortunately it not often taught in our schools or even in university -- that brought about OSHA and the state of affairs today, in which there are rules and regs. And things are much better as a result. However, at the same time, adequate (funding of) enforcement is always an issue, and continual attempts by wealthy corporations (whose priority, purpose, and only thing they really value is profit and not worker welfare) to undermine regs, subvert enforcement agencies, and roll back laws via power wielded in the political process (through buying access and campaign contributions) threaten progress. Workers and their supporters must remain vigilant, certainly.
Russian economy in a nutshell.
What’s sad is you can see him leap for the safety basket but he was just a few feet away. You can see he even pushes it and makes it swing
May the worker rest in peace.
There should have been a body harness tethered to the basket.

Ahhh........ the Russian method! 😒
The cage was high mesh criss-cross. He had no chance of grabbing the side. Only the high top grab would work.
- inaccessible basket entry design and selection
- basket so far away; why?
- no cable ties from person to basket for fall
- no basic load distribution plan for demolition ($1,000 fee to any structural engineering firm for 3 hr consult)
- no standard explosive demolition used
- likely insufficient industry safety standards/promotion/culture or enforcement/penalties
Cluster fuck of bad energies = failure.

This is why we talk safety before starting the day... we all want to come home safe. So sad but this is Russia.
Why in God's name would he have been up there with no safety harness to catch his fall. Ridiculous
Why didn't he run for the basket? And why was his harness not attached to the basket? Only in Russia!
He DID RUN FOR THE BASKET. You should look again, and then try running during an earthquake. Its about the same...
He reached the basket, looks like he couldn't grab on properly with the thick gloves.
r u blind?
Looks like the cement wall clipped him off, but you are right he probably had welding gloves on.@@BeamRider100

Ya gotta love that Soviet-Era engineering.
Maybe if Putin wasn't diverting all of the country's infrastructure budget into his yachts and Swiss bank accounts, they could have afforded a proper demolition and this poor guy would have survived. What a tragic waste of life.
He cut 1 piece of rebar and the whole stadium collapsed. Russian engineering at its best.
Get your eyes checked

@@thegamepz he caused the stadium to collapse tho, thats not even an accident at that point its just suicide. What else is supposed to happen? He float?
They thought the side with the columns would stay as the roof detached. It's not a worker's job to understand how a structure will react. A worker does the job he is assigned by his boss, who is supposed to ensure the worker's safety.
@@Renard380 ok so he did the right thing by dying here?
@@scalz420 Bro how did you fail to understand his statement and reply with such a stupid fucking comment lmao
There was literally a camera drone up in the air waiting to film the moment of collapse. And you’re telling me, the worker couldn’t have expected this chain of events as he cut with a welding torch through one load-bearing steel bolt after another? 🤦
Disposable workers. plenty more at the temp agency. the supervisor is safe in the basket, supervising from there.
Employees = Kleenex
Employees need to use their brain power to keep themselves safe. Making everyone else responsible for our safety makes us giant overgrown babies.

Incompetence by the repair crew also collapsed the world's tallest radio radio mast in Konstantynow
Dont laugh at the man on the roof. He died . . .
isn't this the same as cutting a tree limb off while you're sitting on it?
In this case he was cutting the branch while sitting on the correct side. The tree was thrown out of balance by the fall of the branch. I'm not saying it wasn't preventable, just that from a worker's point of view he was doing the right thing. His boss is the one who messed up
What happened? Was it the extra weight placed on that stadium by the entire screen full of watermarks? Couldn't see much other than the watermarks.
Would you say he cut the linch pin? Gordian knot? The straw that broke the camels back?
What's the phrase or saying?

Sad, very sad .... he panicked and instead ran away from the crane line holding the Torch tanks and tools that stayed floating, no safety cord .... feels like when a terrible event has taken away the floor underneath us .... or did he get contracted to do a one man demolition task in this domino action ... comfort is one of our biggest deceptive feelings. Sad, he is or was a father, and the son of some unfortunate parents .... it could happen while a similar stadium is full with people.
It is just staggering that they didn't realize the ramifications of what they were doing and the forces involved
I expect that it most likely would have had a good outcome without the amount of snow on the thing they were trying to cut loose (yes I know, it still is a very bad idea to cut something away like this as the tension will only make the effect of sudden release of tension even worse the more you cut) but I guess it was just more weighed down from all the snow than if there would not have been any snow on it.
5$ safety line could help. But this is Russia full of heroes 🤔
"Safety First" is not a thing in Russia.
India & China as well.
Do Russians know about Safety harnesses and safety cables that can be attached to the basket?? Or how about staying in the basket and cutting the roof from the basket???
The Russian government doesn't value human life, so I have to wonder if Russian construction and demolition management is any better.
