Watch A Demolition Arm Pluck A Navara From A Quake-Hit Multi-Storey Like A Toy

Following earthquake damage in November, nine stranded cars in a New Zealand multi-storey car park are being removed as the structure is demolished, and the final moments of a Nissan Navara pick-up have been caught on camera

Being told your car is technically scrap despite it being undamaged must be tough. Watching as demolition machines retrieve it and then drop it upside down onto a pile of rubble must be excruciating.

Nine owners were forced to abandon their cars in a cinema complex’s multi-storey car park in Reading, New Zealand, after the building suffered critical damage during an earthquake in November.

Presumably the relevant insurance companies have paid out, but that won’t lessen the pain felt by the owner of this Nissan pickup, which was parked against the outer edge of the building. As the claw reaches in and grabs on at the bulkhead behind the engine, you already suspect it’s not going to be repairable.

But then dropping it upside down and watching its slightly crumpled body roll slowly back over onto its wheels isn’t nice. We bet it still runs, though.
