Knocking out the lifts also eliminates a safety hazard further down the line for demolition/construction workers or explorers, so there isn't the chance of suddenly a big metal box careening down a hundred meters to crush someone into a bloody paste

Myself and several others lived in a similar building for a while. The power was still on for some reason, and we were able to figure out water. Not hot water, though. Anyway yeah, the lifts were definitely destroyed beyond repair. The stairs weren't destroyed though.

I suppose in the footage of the 3M building, it was being demolished, no barriers to stop someone from going up besides barriers around the site itself. The 3M building had a wide base which housed the old market and lobby. Not being structural to the overall tower, that was demolished first. I guess so you get closer access to the upper floors via demolition equipment. This left the ground floor open with no external walls. There are photos of the upper floors prior to demolition, likely before the stairway gone at the bottom

As a HVAC technician I would like it if you went more in depth with those systems, lift motor rooms are cool but HVAC systems are cooler in my opinion (pun definitely intended). I liked how you touched briefly on the BMS room in these videos but I want to see the plant/boiler rooms. I understand there might not be much left due to the scrap value of copper

When I was a young kid me and my cousin explored abandoned buildings when we found one that had open access such as unlocked doors or broken windows. We never did anything to damage the building more though. We might of broke glass bottles and small stuff but we wouldn't do anything to seriously vandalize the place. The one place we went into used to be a restaurant that was on the side of an airport runway. I think the name of the Restaurant was "Runway 86" or something like that. This was pre 911 days and the area wasn't patrolled like it is today. When i say next to the Runway i literally mean next to the runway. The only thing separating diners from the aircraft was a window. Good times being a kid.

@paarke 11 ай бұрын

I used to work in the adjoining building which is part of the same complex and we were told that there were some major design flaws with the ventilation system and lots of people working in there ended up feeling ill. It was too difficult or expensive to fix so it was abandoned. I think there may have been some fire safety issues too. We used to use some of the rooms in the podium when I was there but the door into the tower was kept locked so I never went in there. Security used to go in there to patrol it and as far as I know it was still in reasonable condition when I left in 2006, although we did have a bit of an issue with people getting in and setting the alarms off which triggered them in our building too.

I can't speak for this building but in the US by me they're tearing down all these buildings that are about 45 to 50 years old mostly because a lot of them are brutalist and built out of concrete and the concrete is starting to fail; some are sick buildings in other words there's no light and there's not enough air flow and people get ill when occupying them; and in the United States especially the reason a lot of buildings get torn down is because lead and asbestos abatement cost more than just tearing down the building and building a new one.

I recall in 2006 when the former Frank Mayer (Macy's till it closed in 2017) under went renovation on the upper levels for the Nines Hotel. One of the fright elevators on SW Alder was removed and later replaced by a smaller one. There is one fright elevator still in use with a sidewalk landing door I believe it goes to the 5th floor Several of the windows have shades with signage "Elevator Shat" I think this fright elevator is traction likely a basement machine, with the sheave room just above the 5th floor.

Smashing lifts out would probably be a deterrent to copper thieves looking for easy to steal copper. They don't care how it comes out, if it's accessible they'd probably rip out whatever they could get their hands on. Making it far less accessible would be a big deterrent.

Seems to be another typical example of British illogical waste, but very very interesting.

That definitely makes sense, it’s already there structurally and it’s going to be torn out anyways so why not convert it into a trash chute, beats hauling all the scrap metal and stuff down 20 flights of stairs out to the skip or truck. I’ve done a pre-demolition gut on a house that was going to be demolished For a builder and I did something similar except this place didn’t have an elevator so I just cut a hole through the floor from the second floor all the way down to the basement and put up temporary barricades so no one would accidentally fall through it. So satisfying to throw a 400 pound bathtub from the second floor and have it come crashing down in the basement so I could haul it out the walkout basement into the scrap trailer. Then something else that was super satisfying was to throw a heavy chain around the boiler and put the other end on the hitch of my truck just absolutely tear of the ever living hell out of everything to drag this 800 pound boiler out of the basement. By the time I was done the lawn looked like monster jam came through there

Lift 5 - yes, it does stop all the way up. My original voice over did mention that Lift 5, although part of the high rise group, also did the low rise floors. But I decided to scrap this voiceover as it was easier to say "high rise" and "low rise" to avoid complication. Also Lift 5 could have been a maintenance lift used only by services staff or engineers. Cannot confirm either way.

*Awesome video* guys! I think the majority of us probably assumed this was all down to classic vandalism. Who ever would've thought it was to do with practical uses (Let's be honest: A lift shaft is the safest heavy waste chute a demolition team could ever wish for!) and saving £££s on the redundant buildings tax bill? 😁 That said, it also explains why derelict office sites never seem to be bought back into use until the building is demolished and then rebuilt, and this is clearly not great for the environment. 🌍😞 Obviously: A building intentionally rendered „unusable“ is going to be pretty hard to save, but I wonder why they couldn't render buildings similarly „unusable“ (But eventually recoverable) by simply clamping the cars/CWs in place and removing the logic? 🤔🛗😇
