What happens here
After realizing the flagpole's foundation is structurally compromised and tied into the retaining wall, the crew decides to remove the flagpole. A worker (Bruce) uses an adjustable wrench to loosen the metal anchoring cables that connect the flagpole base to the retaining wall. As the tension in the cables is released, the retaining wall is visibly observed to shift, confirming its instability and dependence on the flagpole for support. The team acknowledges the risk involved in this delicate operation, joking about the potential for the wall or pole to fall during removal.
Goal: Safely disconnect the flagpole from the retaining wall.
