It's not so much about people, but where it is and what they plan on doing with the space afterwards. It's also very messy and inconsistent to tear things apart with force. Structures that are simply steel skeletons are easier to just cut apart and drop methodically. You also then control the size of your materials to remove offsite. You can drop stuff right onto a flatbed and go... where as if you were just bashing it with a wrecking ball, you have tangled webs of debris you must sort and get into manageable pieces to transport. All of that must be done on site and takes more room, increases the size of the jobsite and risks more damage.
its a titanic sized air conditioner unit or what?
I've always assumed it was plastic.
In the post you quoted I actually said I understood they couldn't just knock it down with a wrecking ball and needed to be methodical.You don't use wrecking balls to tear stuff down on a job site you plan on keeping clean and intact. Big falling steel tends to do very bad things to the stuff it falls on
Methodical leads to predictable, safer, and cleaner job.

I'd support that.
So here is the real Chinese Theatre behind Craig Ferguson, who used to work for CBS but before that was Mr. Wick on the Drew Carey Show on ABC, the network that Disney owns, and he comes from Scotland which is in the UK which is a lot like England in EPCOT, so of course it all must be connected, right? So it's obvious that the newest icon for the Studios must be a giant animatronic Geoff Peterson, because (after all) his arm works which is more than you can say for the Yeti.
And that, my friends, is how logic works on one of these boards.
(and still would not take care of the steel frame)
3-6 weeks isn't what folks kept responding with when I'd ask for the theories on how long it'll take. April/May was the time frame people were giving me and thus I was responding to that line of thinking. Either way, I was simply commenting that if they are doing nice and slow and very methodical then it sure implies they aren't just dumping it in a dumpster and are considering keeping it. In other words, they have other options, that are still methodical and don't involve a wrecking ball, that could probably bring it down quicker but it seems, based on the steps they've taken thus far, that they are trying to ensure it's intact. Was simply a comment, wasn't a debate in anyway.
there are no other options, they are cutting it up to toss it. the dumpster in the foreground picture is a scrapyard. they are likely separating the different materials for recycling
Working overnight only, and doing the job cleanly without damaging the surroundings.Why is this demolition taking so long? Can't we just blow it up?
