Gone in 10 seconds
ALMOST 40 years of history was gone in less than 10 seconds as a pair of
landmark Glasgow flats were demolished.
The two Gorbals tower blocks were razed to the ground yesterday morning
with hundreds of people gathering to watch the dramatic event.
The blocks in Stirlingfauld Place were once home to up to 2000 people in
the 552 flats. They were built between 1970 and 1973 at a cost of £1.8 million
but it took £1m to demolish them.
And it was a day of mixed emotions for local residents.
Caroline Carnochan, 41, grew up in the flats, living there for 27 years. She
said: "They were great flats we had good times there and I feel sad to see
them go."
But Daniel McFadden, 73, who has lived in the Gorbals all his life, said: "I will
be glad to see them go. They're going to renovate the area. It's a step forward."
A series of loud bangs in the area at 9.50am marked the end of the high-rise
flats and the ground shook as the 23-storey blocks fell to the cheers of the crowds.

Fantastic photos and videos 
Sorry I forgot all about this.
A friend of mine who use to stay in the flats was there to see them coming down. Hope none of you met him as I understand someone stood in front of him and he was not too please. I think there was some kind of freak accident as the guy fainted or something  
Looks like you have had a good couple of days activity
