Demolition time-lapse with closeups of a former TV studio building (Part 1)

69 days of #demolition of a concrete building (old TV studio) compressed into a 30-minute #timelapse with various closeups and sub-timelapses scattered throughout. This is part 1, in which the above-ground portions are torn down, covering September 30 through December 7, 2019. The demolition proceeds from back to front, and since our cameras are facing the front, some of the early demolition is not visible, although we take a few strolls back there to check it out. During those strolls, and in some later shots, there are closeups of the high reach #excavator doing its thing.
Elsewhere on this channel is part 2, in which the below-ground floors and the foundation are excavated, and the rubble from this part is taken away. That video is here: • Demolition time-lapse ...
This demolition has nothing to do with the original hotel demolition that this channel originally extensively covered, but it still seemed appropriate for this channel anyway, and was only a block away. This demolition takes place in central San Francisco.

26:06 Very bad idea. The column fell about 6 feet from the operator's cabin. I am surprised that no one went to see the operator and returned to work the next day.

the most stupid and dangerous thing I have ever seen, could easily have killed some-one, let alone the damage caused, no reason to do that, nibble the damn thing down, don't rag it over with NO control. Imbeciles !

As always! This time turned bell on! By the way. Looks like that landscape similar to hospital. Same angled workspace. But lot smaller than hospital. Its close to each other? (I mean hotel and hospital) Or its just typical for city?

This was the former home of KRON, Channel 4, the NBC affiliate in San Francisco. In 2001, NBC changed stations (very long and complicated story) and is now on Channel 11 out of San Jose.

A masterpiece! Good music, need the techno beat to keep up with the speed of the time laps. I would have tried slipping a chain or cable over the column with the high reach and pulled from 20 feet further back. Suggestion find a dam removal site and do a video. You are good enough to go global

Nice to see you back, not sure about what operator was thinking near the end when that column landed on the machine.

@SCollaps 4 жыл бұрын

I think he thought about enough safety. He just not predicted bouncing with turn. But anyway, more safety is push than pull.

@chewbaca1979 4 жыл бұрын

If that thing had landed on the outrigger of that crane.... ohhhhh boy that woulda been real bad..... I think they thought pulling it would've been safer than munching it because of how unstable it was, it could've done any number of things if they had tried, but that being said.... I think they thought it out pretty well, and the plan was solid, but the execution and those nice things called "random variables" weren't accounted for too much. Like @marat.B said, nobody thought it would bounce, it's a concrete and rebar pillar landing on rubble after all. Let alone bounce AND turn the way it did.

When the KRON building was constructed, It was very earthquake proof. KRON was, at that time, owned by the Chronicle, San Francisco's big newspaper.

So what makes this type of demolition better/cheaper than simply using explosives?

@rodrigue_charpentier 4 жыл бұрын

You cannot blast a building in the middle of the downtown of a city, it’s too dangerous you would have to evacuate all the nearby buildings and they could be severely damaged as well and the demolition contractor would have to pay for all those damages. Tipically the use of explosive would blast all the windows of neighboor buildings... And look, even with mechanical demolition like here there are some accidents (some debris falled on the walkway and almost falled on a car causing the walkway protection roof to collapse...). So the use of this demolition method instead of explosives is simply for safety reasons...

@peon9282 3 жыл бұрын

Rodrigue Charpentier Plus it‘s also expensive. The vast majority of demolitions are done like this. (except some tall buildings or chimneys, if there‘s enough space) I don‘t understand why under most demolition videos there‘s someone asking why they didn‘t blow it up. Like that would be the norm, but it‘s not.

Good riddance to this building where I worked at for over 11 years. It brought me nothing but heartaches and almost drove me to drink. Nothing but sad memories during my time there where I was robbed of a substantive salary. Some years I even made less then the previous year, how is that possible! I never got any recognition from management except from my coworkers who kept me going. KRON-TV and this building where nothing more than an albatross who deserve this final demise, a pile of rubble.
