Why are they doing this?

Probably so they don't fall on potential bystanders underneath in the road.

It's just like the avalanche clearing in Russia using a cannon, it's so it doesn't happen later when there are loads of people around to get injured.

The shots of them shattering into pieces on their way through the woods were fucking awesome.

And this is the inspiration for Norwegian death metal... Makes sense now :)

It would potentially loosen the entire cliff, creating an even bigger problem than a couple of falling boulders.

Imagine seeing that, RIGHT before a big one crushes your head in.

Does there have to be a reason?

Why did they drop water on the place afterwards?

To clear smaller debrees

[HyperParkour]

According to the uploader:
[quote]The helicopter then displays its dominance of the Fjord by urinating all over the rock face. This is done to loosen and remove any remaining small rocks that may fail at another time and cream a volvo or saab on the road below.[/quote]Whoever thought of putting a wrecking ball on a chopper is genius.

We don't use explosives on everything unlike other countries.. :v:

Aww, Evilweazel, did my comment hurt your feelings?

[LieutenantLeo]

This is such a peaceful video. Norway looks beautiful.

What were they pouring water on it for at the end?
