Video – Every picture tells a story…

Gravity-defying elevator shaft finally succumbs.

From the opening frame of the following video – shot on the same Russian site as the “hydraulic hammer as battering ram” film immediately below – you just know the outcome. It’s not a matter of if, merely a case of when.

Indeed, the most remarkable thing about this video is just how this stubborn elevator shaft remains upright for a full two minutes with most of its bottom half missing.
