Reunion Arena roof collapse caught on camera.
When you allocate three days to a specific demolition task and actually complete it in just eight hours, it is generally not a good sign. And that was certainly the case on the roof of Dallas’ famous Reunion Arena.
As the following video dramatically shows, the contractor chose to break out the reinforced concrete legs supporting the arena’s vast steel-frame roof using an excavator equipped with a hydraulic hammer. The action really starts one minute and 20 seconds into this video but most demolition professionals will spot the payoff within the first few seconds.
All we can say is that the only reunion likely to transpire from this is the one between the excavator operator and his maker.
