5,000 pound wrecking ball begins demolishing medical centre

St John's Regional Medical Centre, a hospital in Joplin, was ravaged by a tornado last year and killed six people in the process.

The building has sat empty since May last year, but the work crews have now moved in and a 5,000 pound wrecking ball has the task of bringing the structure down.

The site is expected to be cleared in a little under 2 months.
