We’ve recently learned that parking your car where it blocks a construction entrance can get your car smashed into a pancake, but now it appears that merely parking next to a construction site can do the same. The video below shows a demolition contractor attempting to bring down the walls of a gutted building. When he knocks over the side wall, the wall closest to the street buckles and partially collapses, as well. Two birds with one stone, you say? Not when there’s a car parked along that street and it gets destroyed. Some demolitions may seem quick and easy, but it’s always a safe bet to set up a perimeter zone to keep the public safe. Luckily no one was in the car at the time of the collapse.

JPMorgan Chase announced their intentions to tear down their existing 52-story headquarters in Manhattan, New York City early last year. When the demolition is complete, it is widely believed that it will be the tallest building ever to be voluntarily demolished. It’s speculated that the building will be dismantled floor-by-floor, as opposed to imploded, due to obvious safety concerns.
