Talking demolition recording

first time poster in this particular gs forum, greetings.

I have a project coming up that involves field recording of a small demolition of a building. I have some general concerns and I'm looking for some advice from someone who has experience in this sort of situation.

first off, some general info would be nice: are there specific microphone types and models for outside location recording? any other gear that could be useful, specifically for high volume sound sources?

I am thinking of mounting some mics inside the building that will be knocked down. I was thinking of using cheap PZM mics since they will most likely be lost in the wreckage. any thoughts or advice concerning mic placement and or type? I am also thinking of sticking a mic on the wrecking ball itself... an open to ideas.

to note, there will be no explosions, rather falling and crumbling brick.

any other information or tips that could be useful would be much appreciated.

thanks!
