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.

We have featured Priestly Demolition Inc. (PDI) on Construction Junkie many times, because of one simple fact: they produce high quality and informative videos about their craft. That’s not something many other companies in the construction industry can say – and now it’s paid off for them in the form of a television show.
