[@RebornAudio]

Not if they demolished the one you were standing on by mistake

[@wasmrsmokidd]

Good...Get rid of all those tower blocks. So many people committed suicide stuck in those blocks day after day.

[@annother3350]

I wonder what they do to prevent asbestos dust?!

[@OffGridInvestor]

Spend months taking it out. Or you can do what the US government done. Just take them out with planes to save the cost of taking it out properly. The "steel beams that melted from jet fuel" were actually covered in asbestos.... which is fire proof....

[@conorjamesmahoney5941]

Remove it.

[@four4eight]

@@OffGridInvestor1st of all steel beams lose half their strength at 1100 degrees Fahrenheit and with a google search you see office fires can burn up to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit and considering it was over 150000 tons of material above and in the impact zone we see why the top fell down to the bottom and 2nd the plane crash basically blew off some asbestos leaving some behind but the fires heated the asbestos heating the beams/trusses then causing the collapse

[@heene]

There was more space the other side of the building. That said, as the rest were coming down it wouldn't have mattered if it hit next door.

[@Thundxr1]

what is the music at the end????

[@SandraSmith-vb5pf]

The buildings were fine. It was the people that ruined them.

[@JBurnsJourno]

[@mubd1234]

3:54 If he's standing there, wouldn't he be killed by the building he's about to implode?

[@maggiemcd403]

2 did 't go down. right

[@DannyBoi2112]

1 went down only half way, and the other went down half way aswell, and then fell over

[@devynandpresley]

No because he's standing at a similar looking block infront of the demolished one

[@LuPy532]

Can someone please tell me why these towers are getting blown up??

[@LuPy532]

***** Oh ok thank you mate for telling me :D

[@DeltaBravo9398]

It's because they where costing more in fixing than the rent for people it's self also drugs got into the area became a bad place to be so there all comming down today 11th of October

[@stuarty72]

TheRagingApplee the flats where built around 1968 come the late 70’s early 80’s it had become rundown the shopkeepers in the flats started leaving after the local supermarket which was presto relocated to the newly built springburn shopping centre the shops used to be really busy the flats where a great place to go play i lived across from the flats in oatfield street but the flats became rundown full of drug abuse people throwing alsorts of stuff out of windows bags of water ash trays darts anything they fancied the flats through time became not fit for purpose i have alot a good memories playing over the swings in the flats the castle bmx course the high chap in the railway waste ground at the back of the flats but it was time for them to come down they where in a bad state of disrepair
