Well if'n the safety harassment team does lecture, pontificate, or otherwise speak, at least its after the fact, judging by the photos, did that section take a column ? You have made it so far though !
Demo is more dangerous than the actual construction, unpredictable.
With that space open, ought to leave you some working room now.
See you violated the rule, when going below an adjacent existing footing, with another footing, you're supposed to underpin existing footing first, prior to constructing the new footing, so what happened in the photo does not, well thats what the engineers and safety people will say LOL !!!
I have done the underpinning thing under civil war era brownstones in Manhattan, city code requires that existing footings, (well they did not use much of a footing in those days, rock and sand) to be underpinned in 4'-0" sections, no more than 12'-0" per day or at a time, in sequence of four, we label sections A,B,C,D, consecutively in layout, do "A" sections, no more than 4 one day, then "B" sections repeat and so on.
I can't wait to see it complete, your start to finish progress photos ought to be fun to look at at the same time.
A friend did this to an old farm house, used a 350 JD crawler loader to excavate it out, put piers in, house stood like that for years, he even lived in it, up in the mountains of eastern NY, they were taking bets in town as to when it would collapse, never did, though he never finished it, crazy what he did, nothing like you are doing,(which is a lot safer I might add).
