Would still rock.

I drove a 71 VW bus for four years and a 69 Jeep for six- I doubt they'd fair too well in these crash tests.

I lost my shit at the "pump and dump"

In keeping with the theme...

^Rookies.

It is typically much more trouble to explosively demo a building than to break it down piece by piece in sections. It is usually some hotshot who just likes to say he blows shit up for a living. Good demo guys will tell you it is much easier and safer to disassemble a building. The aftermath of an implosion that goes well is typically significantly more dangerous to handle because there air voids and unstable pieces. How much worse if the demo goes poorly?

OK, now that they've screwed up and damaged the structure you have to send people and machines in there to finish taking it down. How good is that? How safe is that structure now?

And every different type of material is mixed together, which is counterproductive because they all get sorted and go to different locations. Metal beams go here, concrete goes there, rebar goes someplace else, plastics, wood, roofing materials another place. Implosions just mix everything together and require more machine and labor time to sort.

It was because some of the charges did not go off. Wires got severed or something. They did it again today.


But i would argue that this wasn't much more successful. Seems to be standing pretty well still.

To my untrained eye, that seems like a highly incomplete implosion. It seems that significant amounts of structural material are still standing (eg: pretty much the whole structure below the seating), and it makes me wonder about the stability of this material as workers with conventional demolition equipment move in to finish the job.

Concrete and steel building: Start at 2:00. Watch the sorting going on while it's being processed.

Steel building:

That tilt-up operator's cabin on the 1st vid is cool.

If you don't tilt, you can't see on most of the really big ones.

Canberra hospital implosion - child killed
 

I was standing with my two children not far from where this vid was shot. The shrapnel was cutting into the trees above us, bringing down leaves and small branches, and you can see the size of the flying debris by the splashes. It is a minor miracle that only one person was killed, a 12 year old girl - same age as my daughter and her school friend who was with us. We walked past her on the way out, the paramedics working on her to no avail, but at that stage we didn't know it was someone hit by the debris. When I heard what had happened on the car radio on the way home I went into shock, knowing just how close we had come to the same fate.

Wrong explosive used, instead of cutting through the steel beams encased in concrete, it shattered them and blasted them out towards the spectators.

F1 clutch?

Your dad's gonna be pissed.

He should be thankful he was stupid at 10mph rather than 80.

its way too easy to crash some of these muscle cars...

Reminds me of working the flag stand at a track event and watching a Cobra replica spew its guts down the front straight the first session of the day. I spent half and hour or more pointing out engine internals to the clean up crew.

/\ lol

I assumed the tranny spewed its guts, but I think comie is right, just a FW failure.

Jesus cat, Savior of the Internetz.

My initial assumption was cold tires.

My initial sumption was dumb ass

Yep, dumb ass and slow hands :facepalm:

^^ gazelle precursor.

one thought I've had about the viper vid and one rx7 vid that also seemed wayyyy too slow. It's a show, tire shine on the tread? I know that can be slippery as hell.

I am slightly envious of the neighbor's tree.

If you buy cigarettes in Germany, you will end up dead, or your skin will rot off, or you'll have a hole in your face. At least, that's how it's illustrated.

not if you buy: if you buy and smoke them.

Obviously all the pics haven't made much of a difference.

You can thank me for bringing down the average in the US. I was at over 20K/yr when I quit over 40 years ago. I was opening my fourth pack of the day on my train ride home when I quit.

Every one of my cousins from my generation that took up smoking died from cancer at around 50 years old. Those that didn't are still alive. 4 out of 8.

I totally get it, it's really hard to be not pregnant. just happens!
