While I'm no expert, someone there needs to go to wrecking ball school. What video I've seen shows the guy booming in and out to swing the ball vs rotating to get some momentum behind it. Probably getting paid by the hour, so he's milking it.

I heard a short interview with a guy on the radio yesterday who worked in that building when it was new in the 70's. He said they were told the central tower of the building was a designated bomb shelter and built to withstand a proximal nuclear blast. I wonder if the demo guys knew that going in?

Evidently it would have survived a nuclear blast....not sure if the occupants would have survived but I put money on that part of the building making it....
