SALVADOR - Estádio Octávio Mangabeira / Fonte Nova (50,000) - 2014 FIFA WC

[slipperydog]

Seriously, kick people out of their homes because you don't like them? What is this? A 19th century Russian pogrom of the Jews?

ABSOLUTELY keep the homes, I think they will look great as a backdrop for the stadium, and they provide a terrific overall context for a stadium located in a residential neighborhood. You want the experience to be authentic, for better or worse, and the condition of the homes surrounding the stadium is the least of the issues facing Brazil in 2014.

The whole point of imploding it is so that it takes less time then trying to tear up concrete with an excavator, and by blowing it up, it makes it easier to clean up the rubble, i promise, engineers aren't as stupid as you might think.. besides blowing up stuff is fun

People gotta understand that a brazilian WC will be played in Brazilian cities, not in tokyo or dubai.. and brazilians cities do have poverty and problems!! It is true you gonna find beautiful and modern places, the best stadiums, nice transportation and hotels, an unique atmosphere, plus people whom love soccer and are ready to embrace foreing visitors, but don't go to brazil in 2014 if you are not expecting to see poverty like in those houses around the stadium..

Yes, this was accorded on the beggening of this year! "Barradão" stadium will be used just for train, and the two biggest soccer teams (Bahia and Vitória) play just in Fonte Nova, how was done until 1994, whem the Manoel Barradas Stadium (Barradão) was constructed.

If they keep going with convention demolition means, there might not be any pieces of the stadium left for the big implosion. Aside from that, implosion preparations are going smoothly.

[DemolitionDave]

It's not any faster or any easier. It's just the opposite. I am an engineer. A demolition engineer in fact.

Why do you think more major stadiums have been demolished by conventional methods then by implosion?

Just use the USA as an example. Out of all the stadiums demolished only 4 have been imploded.

There is a reason for that.

I wonder what's left of the old Fonte Nova Stadium's top tier...

Octavio Mangabeira Stadium has passed away. But there was a piece that they forgot to implode. How are they going to tear down that remaining piece?

[CSLou]

In fact, that part will be demolished by machines due to the fact that is too close to other buildings, incluiding some telecom devices.

UPDATE: Fonte Nova Stadium implosion captured in 3D for National Geographic

The Parallax Film Productions crew has uploaded stills and footage from the climax of our first 3D documentary production for National Geographic – the Fonte Nova Stadium implosion in Salvador, Brazil.

The Parallax Film Productions crew reaches the climax of their first 3D documentary production for National Geographic – the Fonte Nova Stadium implosion in Salvador, Brazil on August 29, 2010

There were a few challenges leading up to the event – last-minute rigging as stereographer Sean White positioned some 20 camera systems, many custom made, to capture the explosive demolition in stereo for the series Blowdown :

Once the camera units were all in place, the crew moved out of the arena and took position on the other side of the safety perimeter.

And a siren meant to signal the five-minute warning for the implosion continued to go off as the stadium came down – you can hear it as Ian Herring films the demolition with his Lumix:

But the overall mission – to capture the first ever implosion in stereo for international broadcast – was an explosive success.

All camera systems were rolling when the arena came down, including several kill cams positioned inside the stadium to capture unprecedented 3D footage ultra close .

Then the crew hustled to get post-Blowdown interviews and dig kill cam footage out of the massive debris pile – success!

Next they took a bit of time to relax before tackling one epic gear pack-up.

They'll make their way back to Vancouver, Canada tomorrow.

Now we're adrift in the quasi calm before another stereo storm …

Once the footage arrives back, our post production journey into the third dimension begins.

What a ride.
