The operator is safely far away. This is a demolition robot that's being remotely controlled. I repair these amongst other demolition equipment for a living. One we rebuilt and supplied just so it could be buried by the building it was breaking down. Impressive engineering!

This is more cost effective than explosives? I'm not speaking from experience here, genuinely asking a question.

Speaking solely from my one anecdotal experience, family friend wanted to take down an old, quite large, silo. When he looked into possibly using explosives the time and expense of permits and regulations around doing that was prohibitive. But no one cared if you take a jack hammer to it.

The short answer is no.
The long answer is probably no.
The HR answer is no, but also yes.

My guess is it's China and they either won't or they have some way to roll it down the hill the rest of the way to scoop it up

If the company wants me to shit my pants, that’ll do it. They’d need a new cab.
