A worker demolishes a 45m tall chimney stack one brick at a time in Taiyuan city, Shanxi province, China. Thanks to cheap labour this Chinese demolition firm has found the best way to demolish buildings is one brick at a time. Company boss Chung Lei said: ‘If you are looking at demolishing anything here you need to spend a fortune for the explosives and the license to use them, as well as demolition experts and all sorts of insurances against making any mistakes. In contrast you can also do it with one man and a hammer drill.’
