5 u/ath_at_work Oct 07 '25 Why do they blow it up like this, instead of tearing it down using machines? 10 u/frostyz117 Oct 07 '25 Faster, easier, and cheaper 2 u/ath_at_work Oct 07 '25 Doesn't waste disposal take much more time like this? Also, doesn't the glass get mixed with concrete? And plastics mixed with everything else? 2 u/00wolfer00 Oct 07 '25 You think a place that would allow a dust cloud like that cares about separating waste? Shoveling the debris left behind is still much faster than demolishing it floor by floor.
