Looks like you have to stretch the scenario pretty far to support your point. Also, where was it concluded that this guy IS an explorer and not a scrapper? How does anyone know they were actually exploring this building, rather than professionally removing an elevator from a building that is being demolished?
|
There's been a few encounters ( at least read in this forum ) from explorers of meeting other explorers/scrappers/squatters/ hobo/ junkie/ etc. while exploring. So stand to reason that just cause its abandon doesn't mean there wouldn't be anyone else ever in it ( no matter there reasons for being there ). I don't see the cost of recycle material versus cost of labour x 2 people plus torch to cut/unbolt/ carry all that elevator being worth any substantial profit. ( I honestly don't know the value vs. cost). not to mentioned the elevator itself would be so twisted from slamming down the chance of simply unbolting it apart would not be feasible.
Post by Eschaton And you know this wasn't a controlled environment... how? |
IF it was professional. they would have minimum hard hats, safety boots, bright construction worker vest. And damm sure Union wouldn't allow them to just jump all over an abandon elevator. I highly doubt ( but I"m not a demo guy ) they would have to get to the extreme of pounding an elevator down just to Demo the building ( they just dynamite the whole thing since elevators are usually near middle of the building.). Not to mention all the safety regulations and Union rep. screaming bloody murder to just have an elevator plumet down sending great force and shock throughout an already structurally compromise location. ( way too much liability ) I'm just a little more ticked off about it cause the last few places I explored, I did stick my head into elevators shafts to take pic. And knowing my life could have been jeopardize not by my own stupidity, but the stupidity of others.

You know a lot about Unions and jobsite policies in the Czech Republic?

Valid. I simply find it remarkable that there are two threads worth of hasty rage at this video but no threads of even questioning that this could be an atypical case of "I saw it on the internet so it must be true".

That is MY mistake. I was under the assumption it was in North America. My bad on that.. sorry

If this is how they legitimately do their demo process there. I'm glad I don't work there or explore there. Bad enough there's enough things to worry about ( in my amateur exploration ) exploring an abandon site as it is. I dont want to worry about exploding things falling down.

it probably didn't make a huge bang (Although there WAS one) because of A: air compressed at the bottom of the shaft, and B: Most elevators have springs in the bottoms of the shaft.

Just because I have a seat belt on doesn't mean I'm safe to drive drunk!! Or safe to others around me for that matter.
I probably prefer even scrappers to this idiot. Talk about structurally damaging an ageing building as it is. Guess he hasn't thought of other explorers in the future. Nor has he guaranteed the safety of other possible explorer who may have wondered in and decided to take photos of the elevator shaft. But at least he's own ass is safe and looks like Hercules to his friends. P.S. My Rant is about him.. I'm new to exploring but even I know not to ruin a place for the next person or steal. Is there a UE name or acronym for douche bag who goes to these places to trash it?

Or the safety mechanism kicked in once again? It probably has an overspeed governor (look it up) which might have been reset when the guy smashed the thing back into place.

Thats not how it works there wasn't a Governor cable so once the break was off it was going to fall. Here is an explication of how elevator safety breaks work http://youtu.be/iSLmzjE_woQ?t=8m42s
