Pity the cameraman never gave us any idea of the height of the thing.
30 mtrs?

Lucky OSH were not there, the guy with the sledgehammer was not wearing a helmet!

There is a fleeting shot 10 seconds into the movie.

I think they thought it was going to fall like a tree, but it started to crumble and stuff came straight down. Then it was a case of feet do your stuff, your body’s in trouble. ;)

I note the guy with the hammer, in a moment of brilliance, dropped it and kept running, which was just as well for him. :lol:

1327612 2013-02-12 19:09:00 unfortunately he is not able to be nominated for the darwin awards as he is still alive (but i imagine not for too much longer) and he may have children..... Gobe1 (6290)

Thanks for that I now understand how they do it now.
But i still wonder why they built the wrap around enclosure so that it looks like the original hotel!
That was what fooled me.
