The Demolition Crew were experts at fast demolition, imho. [View all]

I just saw the footage of the demolition and noticed they were spraying the claw and areas right before the claw got to them. There is a method to that madness.

It reduces dust clouds so others nearby may hear the destruction, but not see where it is actually happening and how quickly it is all coming down. When you use a claw like that it makes a really nice demo cloud...they took it down fast and clean, just like the Big Boss ordered.

It is a very old trick slumlords used...tell residents they are going to tent the building for rats and pests (or whatever) and the next morning there is an empty lot.

Only faster method is to set charges.

Just my $5 bucks...thanks Oh Orange One.
