  • This isn't what it seems, is it?

    I wonder if it's not demolition, but construction? Is this building being constructed floor by floor and jacked up using hydraulics?

    Why would you demolish a building this way when you could use heavy machinery to pull it down in sections? Or use explosives to bring it down?

    I think the poster is pulling our legs, and I'd rather know what is actually taking place!

    • Okay, the story checks out!

      It is a demolition method called daruma-otoshi by a engineering firm called Kajima.

    • ok

      thats cool, but what if one "leg"stucks..?

    • good question

      u idiot its unique and japanese thts y it is on metacafe. japanese dont waste their time they dont waste their single second on something which is useless well a wild guess from me is may be they dont wana waste anymore money and time on making basement of the building they gona make over it may be they can use old basements for makin new buildings

      By xxxMA5T3Rxxx 1251537438
    • ehh---

      then you would take down the other building at the side

      By themanofbrick 1218737041
    • ? DUH !

      SO IF ITS BEING CONSTRUCTED AS YOU SAY WHY IS THERE SO MUCH RUBBLE?

      By millionlux 1217606724
  • ok children

    stop fighting, the method is to save the building but rid the support beams, so the style is to put explosives at the base of the beams deep in the ground and it has to sink instead of shattering, so thats that. goodnight.

  • well

    i didn't see any Kabooom in this video and no building calshing down in a couple of seconds.That's why the japanesse people are ahead of all others countrys in the world,they use their heads :D

    By GoBz0r 1217364687
    • yeah but...

      kaboom = fun

      By Zip123 1218649879
    • OK amazing...

      let me understand...
      the best way to clean is to don´t mess it up.
      If "kabooom" then waste time and money when claening everything and pay for the insurance bills...
      sounds smart

      By DanielDC02 1252040953
    • Lets See....

      spend a week lowering a building or 10 seconds, seems the implosion would be more effecient to me. i can see where this method would have its uses when buildings are too tight to one another but not as a general method of demolition.

  • Environmental Friendly

    less dust floating in the air using this method compare to the blasting method.

  • manpower

    If this was real, then it will involve with a lot of manpower, well! a alot of people got jobs, good ideal

    By mingst1 1251424884
  • kaboom

    By cashnikhil001 1217394816
  • Simply

    How it is done as shown? Someone please explaine. How did they sunk that building into the earth floor by floor, like being lower down by jack? With that extreme balance? All I knew is that all building must stand on an extremely firmed foundation before it be stand. How to sink a building that way?

    By Sweet_Licker 1217383457
  • Um?

    Doesn't seem like a demolition to me. Looks more like a bizarre way of sinking ground supports.

  • dont read this


    DONT READ THIS! In 1997 a girl called lauren was walikng in a forest and then a she just dissapeared no one ever found her untill 2000 when a yoing girl called Mary found her body and markings on her chest saying: I wasnt pretty enough" and now you have read this she will appear in your mirror saying your not pretty enough and kill you. by the way the girl called mary died shortly after. To be saved paste this to 5 other videos. THIS TRUE

  • Made In Japan

    I Think They Are Using Powerfull Hydrolics n It Is Better Way For Demolition. Without Any Distrubance & Scrap E.T.C.... This Is The Better Way. 5*****'s (n_n)

    By Dusk Horde 1221059867
  • It's demolition and its perfect

    Japan has overcrowded cities and building are close together, this way it's safer for the whole neighbourhood and no dangerous clouds of dust when you use explosives. Those who comment otherwise are idiots and didn't really evaluate the situation. enuff said!

    By Duanz 1217938841
