Demolition Machines!

I used to operate a 15 ton overhead crane at the iron foundry I worked at... during the course of the day one of my jobs was to pile up the scraps of iron and drop a 4 ton wrecking ball on top of them (the crane used an electromagnet to lift metal) and smash up the iron so it was small enough to fit on the conveyors taking it inside.

I accidently rammed the magnet into the wall once. I laughed because all the soot that had built up on the rafters inside was shaken down within a few hundred feet of the wall I hit and everything was COVERED. It wouldn't have laughed if people were in that department at the time.

The had this small building that used to be a shipping dock, but hadn't been used in about 3 decades and was covered in foliage. I would drop the occasional piece of metal on it just to break it, but it was pretty strong and I never did much to it. Even the boss thought that was funny. Again, had it put anyone in danger, I would not have done it.
 
The tank - wow the damage was minimal for he was on the road most of the time. If that gun was ready to fire he could've taken out an overpass! :Q
