A couple weeks ago the old medical building on McLeod was demolished to make way for future condominiums. It was interesting to see how the demolition process took place. A multi terrain loader with a scrap and demolition shear attachment was used to demolish the building. To me it looks like the head of a mechanical dinosaur eating the building bit by bit. Quite entertaining. Here's a little time lapse of the demolition process.
Here's a close up of the demolition shear. See the resemblance?
