Video – A glimpse of the future…

See the implosion of a Brazilian hospital before it happens.

During the recent Demolition Awards in Amsterdam, we had the pleasure of spending some time in the company of Fabio Bruno Pinto, explosive demolition specialist with Fábio Bruno Construções in Brazil.

Although he was in Europe primarily to talk about a previous contract – namely the implosion of Rio de Janeiro’s Presidio Helio Gomes prison – he revealed that he was in advanced stages of preparation for an equally impressive, pre-Christmas blast to take down the nearby Hospital Universitário do Fundão

Today, just nine days before he presses the button, Fabio has sent us an exclusive simulation video – produced with DemolitionNews sponsor Applied Science International – showing how the hospital will fall.

If the implosion is even half as impressive as the video simulation, Fabio Bruno Pinto will be an early contender for Eric Kelly’s Explosive Demolition of the Year crown in 2011.
