Camera captures twin demolition accidents on Vancouver demolition site.
Canadian video cameras have captured a pair of near catastrophic wall collapses in Vancouver. The demolition occurred in the 1100 block of Hornby Street near Davie Street around 5:15 p.m. PT on Thursday.
Two videos of the demolition were posted on YouTube Thursday. One shows an excavator knocking over a two-storey concrete wall of the building, pushing it past the fence erected around the demolition site, with the debris narrowly missing at least one person and a car on the surrounding street.
A second video appears to show the excavator knocking a second wall into the street a short time later, taking a lamp post down with it.
The demolition was being conducted by Global Excavation and Demolition.
