For the first one I was passing too close for comfort to the earthquake-damaged house. For the second I was standing a safe distance away and got to watch how the old brickwork ... flexes ... ripples ...
The front corner is still there but I have much better understanding of how it -could- come down. I also don't think we're actually going to be able to save it unless someone can come to the party with 6 or 7 digits of ready cash :(
For the big one we were down the other end of the building, and that stayed solid as.
(What we were doing today was blocking up some of the most commonly used entry/exit windows, but we abandoned work at this point. We'll go back to it after Xmas.)

That's the first set I've really been standing out in the open for.
