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. Posted via RS Mobile
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

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.

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.
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.
