It takes some patience and a helluva lot ofbself control to take a building down both quickly and safely. Few understand that it’s actually a helluva lot of physics that need to be used so you don’t inadvertently injure or kill yourself or others. I’ve worked demolition for 20 years. This is about as professional as it gets. It doesn’t always provide the level of entertainment some expect.!
