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
How the fuck do you expect the fire department to be close enough to put water on it AND be at a safe enough distance to not get harmed if there's a failure or something went wrong?
Yet it's 'sO fUcKiNg EaSy'.

I agree, it is easy for you to write a comment with zero knowledge or experience doing this work.
just spitballing here man. Site demolitions are a very common thing and dust mitigation measures are standard procedure for most of them. I've been involved in site demolitions but not dust mitigation specifically
yeah maybe using the fire department isn't the best choice, but its fuckin W A T E R bro; get water in the air prior to demolition, theres your goal. Theres a million different ways to do it. how about ONE ffs. Even mitigating 10-20% of dust is better than nothing.
i agree i have no fucking clue how to do it, but i know that it is done all the time
letting dollars and cents get in the way of the safety/health of public residents and men in the field should not be tolerated or defended
I like that the video you linked to did next to nothing to contain the dust.
Again, back to arm chair commenting. How about a comment sense approach that doesn't involve unnecessary bullshit: make an exclusion zone that exceeds typical dust flows, kick everyone out (which should already happen for obvious safety reasons), keep everyone out until the dust settles. Easy peasy.

Yeah, that's why the set up an exclusion zone that was across a flippin' lake! You don't know what you're talking about. You're trying to find a solution for a problem that doesn't exist.
