Hotel Demolition
The demolition of a large high-rise hotel in San Francisco with time-lapses and closeups. Plus a few other demolition videos.
The Jack Tar Hotel (aka Cathedral Hill Hotel) was completed in 1960 and occupied an entire city block of San Francisco. After over 50 years, it has been demolished to make way for the construction of a new hospital.
After the demolition of the hotel completed, this channel went idle for years. It became active again briefly for the demolition of an old TV studio building, but that's now complete as well, so the channel is idle again. Should I have access to another demolition project, it is possible that uploads could resume again someday, but I see no sign of that for now.
If you'd like to follow the construction of the new hospital, or of the building that follows the TV studio demolition, check out my separate "Hospital Construction" channel.
Don't you just hate it when a piece of rebar gets stuck in your track?
