Looks like a lot more effort focused today on moving rubble away to get access to the final parts of the building.
Have embedded below a super well-done multi-part series of videos on Youtube by WCG TV on the demolition so far...

Thanks for sharing. Nice to see more of an overhead shot and from a little higher up!

Limited with the drone in that don't want to get too close to the site. Here's a shot from another angle at the Livingstone Landscaping side of the tracks as they come down the home stretch. Busy part of town... just out of frame to the left Livingstone's putting finishing touches on their new greenhouse!

Here is the shot from 3500’ above sea level, about 2000’ above the city. I was flying a plane!

More or less dirt now with traffic and pedestrians back to normal.
Managed to put together a half decent timelapse that shows the whole thing coming down over about five minutes:

With the show pretty much over I've deactivated the camera that's been linked from the front page. Thanks again to Sutton for being willing to have it setup at their location... it was a fun little feature!

Re-activate camera?
5/5/2021 at 10:29 AM

Adam any chance of re-activating the camera so we can follow construction of the new bridge? Perhaps that’s already in your plans. Would be so interesting. And awesome. Enjoyed following the demolition very much, thanks to you.

18 and pacific bricks

I was just talking to Crow and he was surprised that his miniature golf was mentioned on ebrandon. When Crow finishes the miniature golf it will something to see as he has so much patience for laying each brick.and he will also bring in his antique tra?ctors and other antiques for the miniature golf.

Typical Manitoba highways infrastructure, late, slow, overpriced, underdone and just a little longer than forever to get it completed.
