Overly-keen operator knocks wall into neighbouring house.
It’s bad enough living next door to a demolition site. There’s noise, dust, vibration and additional traffic to contend with.
But all of that pales into insignificance when the demolition taking place next door suddenly comes to visit.
This video captures the moment an excavator nudges a wall of a near-demolished home into the side of the next-door house.
The near century-old bungalow offers little resistance to the heavy concrete block wall as it smashes into the side of the house, it’s chimney puncturing the front bedroom wall.
A bystander can be heard yelling “No” as the wall disintegrates across the driveway blocking any chance of escape for the resident, who uses a wheelchair. A cloud of dust rises but the digger drivers seem oblivious to the carnage and imminent danger as gas escapes from a ruptured pipe.
