00:00This is the most destroyed house in the world until it was finally built in Louisiana in America.
00:12And why was it built?
00:14Brother Kim, tell us.
00:18At a height of 94 meters, this is considered the most destroyed house in Lake Charles in Louisiana, USA.
00:24The Hertz Tower.
00:26But this September 7 is the most destroyed house.
00:31Suddenly, it was blown up.
00:34It completely collapsed within a few seconds.
00:39But the public should not be concerned.
00:41The explosion of the Hertz Tower was really intentional.
00:45Brother Kim, why are there houses that are destroyed on purpose?
00:50Brother Kim, tell us.
00:53A controlled explosion is called an intentional detonation in an explosion.
00:57Or it is a disposal of an improvised explosive device.
01:01It is planned and done under tight control.
01:04To ensure the safety of people and the environment.
01:10The controlled explosion in a house is also called a building implosion.
01:15It is done to quickly demolish a structure.
01:19And to ensure that its debris is not scattered.
01:22The building implosion is often used on old structures.
01:26Here in the Philippines, many old structures have already been demolished.
01:29But there is no such thing as a building implosion.
01:32Our population is increasing.
01:34Infrastructure in our country is also increasing.
01:37That is why other nearby buildings will become collateral.
01:40Using mechanical demolition and selective demolition.
01:43It is easier.
01:45Always remember, it is important to know.
01:47This is Brother Kim and I will answer you 24 hours a day.
