Building demolition fail
 

Sucks to be that guy! What did they expect would happen??

That was the highlight of my morning thus far :)

i dont think he survived..he should have stayed in the machine

thats some ghetto demolition

i was waiting for it to reverse =|

Whoa I didn't even see him get out the first time...what a moron, the machines arm could have protected him

LOL RIP.. i found it so funny but rest in peace tho for real

lol shouldve used explosives

What a way to end one's life and take a perfectly fine CAT with it.

what did he expect to happen?

Lmao you sick bastards, the CAT got destroyed

man.. thats sucks.... but i dont know why i am laughing...
RIP

When will these guys learn. You want to bring down a building you talk to the 9/11 Truthers. They know everything about building demolition.

They needed the explosives for something "else". jk.

I think a 5 year old kid can tell you this was a bad idea.

why da fuck would he jump out? he is safer staying inside the machine

WOW! I knew from the thread title that the building was falling onto that excavator... Never would have expected that guy to jump out tho!! The FOP would have done a significant reduction of any damage to him, if he had stayed inside the cab! Wow.... darwin takes another one?

prolly thought he could avoid the crash coming down lol. if he had jumped out as soon as the building started falling, he might have been able to get away

^ or started backing the CAT up?? LOL

No sheering here genius, you can see the bottom floor pancaked because the pillars were severed as did the the buildings on 911... also the top floors in this case fell forward and to the side... not collapse free fall speed!

What can you expect from someone who looks at the world with rose coloured glasses.
Arash

LOL, I posted it as a joke and you actually come out and make an analysis of how it fell. No need to sign your name Arash - everyone knew the minute they read it was you. What a fucking loser.

Sure it was a joke, I signed my name so that you wouldnt start bull shitting like saying sheering made the 911 building collapse... you're the loser.

Oh HAI Kokanee_vtec

GTFO BITCH :gtfo:

BRICKS WERE LITERALLY SHAT

I like how everyone ran for it. OMG SHIT, DUST CLOUD!!!!!!!

Is there a story to go with this? Why were they demolishing that building in the first place? It looked unfinished.

Human instinct told him to get out and run when he might have had a better chance in the cab. Much like the Titanic wouldn't have sunk if Murdoch had struck the iceberg head on instead of desperately trying to avoid it. People in the bow would have died and considerable damage would have been done but when you only have moments to think, who would choose that option if they believe they can still avoid it all together.

As for the operator's expectations of what would happen - I'm sure he knew it was very risky but by the looks of the video this comes from a poor nation and I assume he thought the risks were worth it when it means putting food on the table. Those in charge probably knew the risks as well and felt saving money was worth it over the risk of losing a lowly machine operator. It's not like the family of the operator could afford to sue. If this were to have happened in a 1st world country where there are rules and laws in place and they went this route anyways, then I would call it stupidity.
