Myanmar (Burma) — Demolition in Mandalay — old style
You have to admire the effort
March 2015
You have got to wonder about this old-style approach to demolition in Mandalay, Myanmar. Why do it that way? Machines would be better, or was it a cost issue? It was crazy, as doing it this way must have taken forever.
During my stay at the Hotel Mandalay, Mandalay, Myanmar (Burma), I watched a demolition crew taking down a reinforced concrete building next to the hotel.
The process amazed me because there wasn’t a machine on the site. No big demolition machines. They were doing it manually, and ‘health and safety’ didn’t seem to be a consideration.
The demolition guys were astonishing. I couldn't believe how they worked and tackled what seemed to be an impossible task.
