Footage shows the dramatic moment a man used an excavator to destroy a luxury marina building in Canada.
The video, shared on Twitter by author Don Tapscott, shows the red excavator being used to tear down a waterside building in Muskoka Lakes, Ontario. The footage shows that an entire wall of the building had been demolished.

The building appears to belong to the Pride Marine Group — a local yacht brokerage. The brokerage did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
The building is located within the Pride of Rosseau Marina, which, per the National Post, is a summer getaway spot for wealthy Ontarians.
Police officers arrived on the scene on the night of July 21, per the Toronto Sun, and discovered "significant damage" to the marina building.
Bracebridge Ontario Provincial Police has since charged a man in connection with the incident.
A 59-year-old local man was charged with mischief over $5,000, per the Toronto Sun. He is due to appear in a local court later.
He has also been fined $3,906, according to MailOnline.
The police will not be releasing the man's name, or if there is a workplace connection, the Toronto Sun said.
But according to Tapscott, who shared the original video, the accused man is a "disgruntled, fired employee."
Local publication Muskoka Today also reported that unnamed sources had described the man as somebody who had been recently fired.
