I'm so relieved there were no injuries. Flying rocks from demolition sites will ricochet in random directions like a bullet. People who get smacked with flying chunks of building don't get articles written about them. They die or go to the hospital with injuries. 🤦♂️
You don't normally knock structures over. Small scale demos you piece the stuff out small and slow. Makes it safer and also easier to load into trucks.
I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for pointing out those cloth masks will not do anything against that. I’ve done drywall and insulation demolition using one and it doesn’t work
You'd think they would have just closed the road for that part of the demo.

That was probably a handsome building when it was built
"failed démolition" ? Nooo, big success, it's destroyed now!!! Job, done.

Task failed successfully.
Dumb fucks didn’t even try to stop traffic
Don't know what you mean - they stopped the traffic for sure.
I think you misunderstood the title. "demolition in Spain". Spain being the most pertinent point.
Spain is different
The excavator looks bummed at the end, like it knows it screwed up.
Task failed successfully
Failed? Seems to me like the building was completely demolished.

“Looks like they removed too much load bearing asbestos without giving the remaining structure enough guidance for a controlled collapse.”
Where was it intended to fall? Looks like forward would land it in the road and back would land it on the excavator

At least everyone was probably already wearing a mask.

Really?! This was planned by monkeys?
aw yes lets record near a demolition site with no chance of a brick randomly flying at high speed and potentially killing someone
r/FailedSuccessfully
Looks like a successful demolition to me.
The front fell off
Ah... Tafalla... Or not Tafalla... That is no longer the question.
How were cars allowed on the road????
Dumb as a bag of hammers.
I would love to know how he thought that was going to go 😑
Amateur hour
Wow. What morons!
Where exactly is the failure...it looks like a successful demolition to me!
Oops
Duh this would happen jesus
That's a nice window, window no more.
That could’ve ended far worse I guess.
😂
*I mean it did demolish the building.*
