   That was a really stupid way to demo a building. I wonder if he is still employed. Thanks for posting. Tim

   Some people just have no business running equipment, let alone doing demo work.

   Some people are just plain stupid. Those that are as stupid as that guy get killed. Maybe its for the better that he got killed instead of next time maybe injuring or killing a bystander.

   Luckly it was a wood stucture or looks like a wood stucture so the guy might have survived it. Maybe the guy thought the building might fall like a tree so he took out a undercut and was going to go around back and push instead it barber chair'ed and fell on him. Should have took a match to the building and sit back and watch it go in flames :yup

    they should have brought a crane in to get it down to a closer level then brought the biggest excavator they had in to rip the rest down.

    How "not" to take a building down... I'd have to believe if he's still alive, his Fruit 'O The Looms were in need of emptying... Not to mention his employers'. No wonder workers comp. is out of control...
