Demolition Crew Accidentally Destroys Adjacent Building:VIDEO

엉뚱한 건물 건드린 철거 장비

Mistakes during demolitions happen. Sometimes contractors knock down the wrong buildings, other times the explosives used don’t knock the building over, and other demolitions are carried out with a complete lack of regard for human life.  As fun as they are to perform and watch, they’re inherently dangerous and there should be a plan in place in case things go wrong.

Earlier this week, a rowhouse, which was occupied by a laundromat, in Baltimore, Maryland was mistakenly destroyed as demolition crews were working on tearing down the building next to it, according to the Baltimore Sun.  Thankfully, no one was injured, as police occupied the area the night before demolition to keep people away.

The building that was supposed to be demolished had developed a large crack, estimated at several inches at its widest, and one of its exterior walls had started to bow.  After city inspectors determined the building was unstable, an emergency demolition was ordered.

The owner of the mistakenly demolished building was actually across the street watching the demolition, but told the Baltimore Sun that he’ll rebuild the property.  He had recently purchased the building and planned to convert it into a single family home.

Around the 50 second mark in the video below, you can see a section of brick fall over onto the neighboring property, which completely annihilates it.  It makes you wonder how stable that building actually was if it was destroyed so easily.
