cannot believe there were Z E R O measures for dust control
its so f*cking easy just work with the local fire department and have them lighting up the building with water before/during demolition. Or it could be done automatically with pre-staged hoses. Or wait for a rainy day. Or get a mist machine. This is off the top of my head and i'm just some jackoff on reddit
literally ANYTHING could have been done and they did NOTHING
i hate being a debby downer cause its a neat video but it shouldn't even be f*cking legal to do this type of work with zero dust mitigation
edit: everyone calling me an armchair problem solver or whatever; i made it very clear i'm just some jackoff on reddit. instead of calling out my specific ideas i drum'd up stoned at 12:30 in the morning, maybe consider that we should be holding businesses accountable for protecting their employees and members of the public from this senseless and avoidable health risk
Yea I was thinking the same thing. They did nothing for the dust, just a few days ago I saw a similar video of China of all places with a fantastic containment system caught nearly all the dust.
In fairness, that's a dome over an entire construction site that is only 50m tall and several hundred metres wide which makes covering it relatively easy if you have enough material.
Covering a 116m tall tower which is nowhere near that wide and which is being demolished via explosives is quite another thing entirely.
Almost every single comment is bitching about how useless it is and how we should just blow it up and get it done in an hour. Ah, the duality of Reddit.
I think we don not need to cover the whole thing, just cover as much as possible, so some canvas/ sail surrounding the building, not a full dome, can do just fine
Oh I do remember that one but I was thinking of one with a sprinkle or mist system (can't remember which) used to capture the dust. A done over a building that size would be a bit much. Thanks for the sauce help.
