for the people complaining abt this. the capital one building was severely damaged from hurricane laura which was a cat 5 and was un savable just because it looks like broken windows on the outside does not mean the inside is in pristine condition. from what i heard it was going to cost way too much to repair it. it had to come down or it would have collapsed later on
I think what a lot of you are forgetting, is that the building doesn't belong to any of us. I live here, and I understand that it's private property,and the owner can do with the building as they please. They don't owe it to us to repair it just because we've gotten used to looking at it.
Wow, it’s been many years. I was the physical operations chief engineer for a 40 story, steel and glass building, with Singer Heat pump, just like this one. I could operate it from my home👍🏾 This is a real heart stopper.
@@christinat56Me too! I was literally just thinking about little shards of glass in the trees, and IDK, maybe they checked for nests. I hope so. I know adult animals can get away... Anyway, you're not alone 🌳🌳🌳
Have you ever read the report of whats in the dust of an implosion? The asbestos they couldn't find/get to, PCB's, mold, heavy metals and the worst and largest component Respirable Silica. 10,000+ cases of cancer from exposure to the dust from the WC collapse and they let them get away with this.
The black mold alone would have condemned it, how do you know nothing was salvaged and if so, it would have been useless if mold, water or deteriorated in any form. They removed a structure from spreading mold and whatever airborne components to the public.
The Mold isn't gonna spread around in this whole building if you dry it out using those huge construction dryers... And who told you that black mold would be that toxic or harmful to humans?
It's a safe bet that all the copper was already salvaged, as well as anything else valuable. Building implosion turns a multi-month to multi-year demolition into a month or so of prep, a minute of boom, and a few weeks of cleanup. But year, powdered glass and concrete are not good for things that breathe with lungs.
It first was the Calcasieu Marine Bank building when I arrived in LC in 1989, then Hibernia Bank building, then Capital One Bank building. Then Hurricane Laura came thru (I was here that night terrified and praying with my son in law and his brother) and said "it is now my building" 🌧️ 🌬️🍃
Me and my late husband have seen a building like this being imploded in the CBD. Of Johannesburg South Africa it was obviously condemned for some reason. In the year of 1984. 1985.
I thought that was drums at first. The Coliseum in New Haven, CT was imploded on a Saturday morning, it was better than cartoons! I watched it on TV and heard the implosion from my bedroom. I was like, "Do it again, do it again!"
Does this remind anyone of the the 9/11 implosion? Strikingly similar if you ask me, just a much shorter building and this is openly called what it is!
Drove I-10 through Lake Chucky yesterday and didn’t even notice it was “missing”.. Guess too busy making sure I wouldn’t crash off the bridge, with it’s aluminum foil guard rails, and into the river…
It would have cost more to redo that whole building after the hurricane came through,I remember coming through Lake Charles a couple of times and almost every window was boarded up,it was beyond repair.
It was a hurricane. Cant you see the boarded up windows? I live here and we experienced a hurricane back in 2020. Look at videos of the windows being blown out from the sheer force of 150mph winds
Ironic that it was home to a demolition company Edit: I realize now the sign at the top was just a temporary sign/ad for the demolition company that was taking the building down. Easy mistake to make, no need to come at me sideways lol
Just like this building was demolished via a controlled demolition and fell directly into its footprint, so did the Twin Towers. Just like you can see the plumes of smoke and debris shooting out of the sides of the building on certain floors as the structure is collapsing, the same thing can be seen on videos showing when the Twin Towers collapsed. This was done because just crashing planes into the buildings alone was not going to bring the buildings down. So, explosive charges were specifically placed on load-bearing columns and steel beams all throughout the buildings, including and especially in the basements, in order to bring the entire structure down. There's plenty of evidence to prove all of the above to be true beyond any reasonable doubt. All you have to do is research it. This is not to say radical Islamic terrorists didn't high-jack planes and crash them into the towers murdering thousands of innocent people. They did, but it wasn't the whole truth. It was all meant to be a setup at the public's expense. The terrorists were just convenient pawns in a massive conspiracy that was highly coordinated, organized, and funded by the highest levels of government and the private sector. The United States government and its allies had been desperately wanting to have a reason to invade Iraq. Why? It's oil. What comes with having control over a ton of oil? Money and power. Believe it or not, there are always a lot of very powerful and very wealthy people and companies that become even more powerful and more wealthy as the direct result of the United States going to war with another country. It's always going to be very profitable. Going to war with Iraq was no exception. So, with that objective in mind, the powers that be had to devise a scenario that would cause the overwhelming majority of the American public to become so overwhelmed with emotions like sadness and rage that there would be no question that they would support invading Iraq. Then, the light bulb moment occurred. Have radical Islamic terrorists high-jack planes and crash them into buildings causing enough destruction and killing enough people that it would create the most amount of chaos and panic imaginable, and as the result, would manipulate the public to support going to war. In other words, after billions of dollars in destruction and 2,997 lives were murdered, the American people were not only brainwashed and manipulated to go to war, but it was all done under false pretenses. We were all lied to just so that some very wealthy and powerful people and companies could become more wealthy and more powerful. It doesn't get any simpler than that. It's one of the biggest lies and cover-ups in world history. If you're not willing or not able to wrap your brain around what the wealthy and powerful are more than willing and able to do in order to get exactly what they want, then please read the following. NYC real estate developer Larry Silverstein was the owner of the Twin Towers at the time of 9/11. He acquired them in July 2001. He made a $3.22 billion bid to lease-purchase the World Trade Center from the Port Authority. The lease agreement gave Silverstein, as leaseholder, the right and the obligation to rebuild the structures if they were destroyed. Also in 2001, he conveniently took out a terrorist attack insurance policy on the property. The amount of coverage Silverstein received from the insurance companies to rebuild World Trade Center buildings 1, 2, 4 and 5 was $4.55 billion. So, he made a profit of $1.33 billion. Try wrapping your brain around that.
They didn't take the oil, though, so that doesn't seem to be the reason for Iraq. The actual reasons were given in either Foreign Affairs or Foreign Relations journal (I forget which one... maybe some in each?) in the late 1990s, in articles written by the people who became part of the neocon administration after the following election. They stated that they wanted an opportunity to test new doctrines including privatizing many tasks that had belonged to the military previously. Logistics, hospitality, construction and so on. Bids for the jobs were public, but only one company was prepared to offer those services. They were privatizing, and profiting from, military support tasks in an overseas theater. They also wanted to introduce the doctrine of preemptive strike. It's all written in those journals, years before the events. I found the journals, at the time, in a university library. If you know the names of the people in the W administration, and the top general during the war, and others associated with them, then you'll know which authors to look up. Late 1990s. You can go to the university library and ask to see them - you don't need to be a student there. When reading, keep in mind that this was before the neocons were elected, and years before the events happened. The organizations that published them are called "think tanks". I know the popular meme is that they wanted the oil, but in hindsight, they didn't run the campaign as if that was a primary strategic goal, and they didn't take the oil, AFAIK. If they did, I'd be glad to know about it - which companies got the contracts after the fires were put out, and how they were connected to administration members.

These buildings have the ability to last at least a hundred years or more. They are made out of materials that can sustain themselves for a long time without any major alterations to it structure.
@Damiana-l8x It hasn't been used since the day we were ordered to evacuate Lake Charles 4 yrs ago for hurricane Laura. Then, Delta hit us a week later .
You hear the synchronized dynomite going off? That's a controlled demolition. You can see the towers start to collapse at the impact zone with no sound of dynomite like you hear in this video. Building 7, no sound of synchronized dynomite. It's not rocket science.
So there must have been some warnings sent out to people living or working in the surrounding area, about the long term affects of being exposed to those toxins. Or at least it should have been.
This is in Lake Charles, LA...this town is surrounded by refineries and other industrial complexes that have polluted the air there far worse than that dust that will settle and be cleaned up
You know they do this kind of stuff all the time but there's all these homeless people living on the streets. They can't come up with a way to salvage. For emergency housing for people
Its true, it's a waste of all the time and effort that went into building that skyscraper. However, it's been sitting damaged and empty for four years, the company that owns it took the insurance money and ran, so the city had no choice but to demo it. It's also 40 years old, and getting to the point of needing major renovations anyway.
@@Lv-nq9qzWell, _that_ is probably why they're cheering. It's not every day an eyesore gets removed in such a short period of time. We have _hundred-year-old_ eyesores in my city, and we finally started turning them into lofts or removing them just under a decade ago... 🤷♂️
When the insurance value is worth MUCH more than fixing a basically fixable building? Oh yeah, it's going down, along with all those fixed rentals we had.
I first wondered if it was the hurricane, but then figured out they must've used explosives to bring it down after it was destroyed. My reason for wondering is because no trees were moving from the wind of destruction and was dead quiet. Just amazing how a whole building can be brought down like this
I wonder what the damage was. Structural Integrity or just water getting in through all the broken windows? One would assume in that part of the country there were building code requirements in place for withstanding hurricanes when it was built in 1983.
Well it’s a commercial building so it’s all steel and concrete, which is why it’s still standing even after the act of God event. But I’m sure the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing got wrecked. And all the finishes and damaged furniture throughout the building. Mold growth, wild animals, homeless. Who knows wtf was in there😅
The hvac system, the electrical system,the plumbing system, the fiber optics and any and everything else that goes into a building..plus toxic mold throughout..nothing about that building was salvageable

It fell at the same speed as the Twin Towers, the chances of that have to be astronomical!
I would hardly call that a sky scraper, maybe a butterfly scraper.
What kind of airplane they used?
No kidding that controlled demolition looks so familiar for some reason
Un ovni 👾👾
@@LaurenMartin-e6g to me also
It looks like a deja vu
🤣🤣🤣
A paper airplane
*Building 7?* 🧐
Driving through Lake Charles on the interstate is super depressing
You know they do this kind of stuff all the time but there's all these homeless people living on the streets. They can't come up with a way to salvage. For emergency housing for people
Exactly
Looks awfully familiar doesn't it?
Yes, it looks like other controlled demolitions I've seen.

@@floydoroid. FDNY. Was there. You have no idea what you’re talking about.
That’s not even close to a skyscraper
22 stories in Lake Charles might as well be deemed a skyscraper.
This looks like demolition..not a hurricane.
Perfect demo!
Me calling capital one customer support be like:
Fell harder then a drunken night then building 7 !
So Instead of fixing a perfectly good building we will just create more crap for the landfills!!
Oh god, not again!
Kinda fell similiar to you know what.
I don't get why ppl cheeer and laugh looking how a dream went down to dust...
Its true, it's a waste of all the time and effort that went into building that skyscraper. However, it's been sitting damaged and empty for four years, the company that owns it took the insurance money and ran, so the city had no choice but to demo it. It's also 40 years old, and getting to the point of needing major renovations anyway.
@@Lv-nq9qzWell, _that_ is probably why they're cheering. It's not every day an eyesore gets removed in such a short period of time. We have _hundred-year-old_ eyesores in my city, and we finally started turning them into lofts or removing them just under a decade ago... 🤷♂️
You seem like a professional whiner 😂
Destructive spirits
@@teresam5199
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah those hurricanes have destructive spirits
When the insurance value is worth MUCH more than fixing a basically fixable building? Oh yeah, it's going down, along with all those fixed rentals we had.
Uh….that cloud is really toxic……I’d be watching that from miles away…
Looked really familiar. Kinda like you know what buildings.
I thought the exact same thing as soon as I saw it 😮
Demolished NOT imploded.
Could they at least set up some big vacuums or something to suck up the dust?
The start of the video had a pretty good beat going.
Was 911 different from this? just wondering 🤔
That classic ploom of concrete dusk never get old after these things.
Damn, Lake Charles was well on their way to having a world-class skyline & then they took down their tallest building.
This building isn’t even sky scraper.
looks like one to me.
It’s a knee- scraper to most NYCitizens
Today is September 7th 2024. Haven't seen that in almost 24 years.
I assume you meant "almost 23 years". 🤔
I first wondered if it was the hurricane, but then figured out they must've used explosives to bring it down after it was destroyed. My reason for wondering is because no trees were moving from the wind of destruction and was dead quiet. Just amazing how a whole building can be brought down like this
Yes, hurricanes don't make buildings implode lmao
They do this all the time.
Ok, but charges were set, it wasn't just a spontaneous building collapse.
Yea that’s what the description reads.
Why can't they shelter homeless people instead of streets... They will take care of themselves...
Why didn’t they cover it so the dust and debris can stay in one area.
Sad day for the city of Lake Charles.
I wonder what the damage was. Structural Integrity or just water getting in through all the broken windows? One would assume in that part of the country there were building code requirements in place for withstanding hurricanes when it was built in 1983.
Well it’s a commercial building so it’s all steel and concrete, which is why it’s still standing even after the act of God event. But I’m sure the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing got wrecked. And all the finishes and damaged furniture throughout the building. Mold growth, wild animals, homeless. Who knows wtf was in there😅
The hvac system, the electrical system,the plumbing system, the fiber optics and any and everything else that goes into a building..plus toxic mold throughout..nothing about that building was salvageable
@@SilencerB the structure did what it was supposed to. But everything else surely was wrecked as you mentioned.
Building 7?
