A large excavator stretched to the top floor of the three-story classroom building where 17 people died in the 2018 mass shooting at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, making a loud wrenching sound as it punched out a window early Friday as the long-awaited demolition project got underway.
Several victims’ family members stood about 100 yards away in the school’s parking lot holding their cellphones to take photos and video of the event.
