Safedem Red Road Flats demolition

[@samuelstoner5651]

That was fascinating and impressive. However, I would not have been keen to be the homeowners who were so close to the action (7:00).

I remember my friend used to live in one of those flats way down in bridgeton she moved out because it was so dangerous and she was also scared of the lifts and a cannae blame er because she'd want to go to the ground floor and it would take er ae the top and she'd be going mental and her mum wouldint let her take the stairs because ae the junkys but when she first moved in she was fair chuffed wi it

Fascinating video and demolition is something I have always been interested in, especially coming from Glasgow and the amount of 60's tower blocks currently scheduled for demolition. The preparation work is fascinating.

cool video nice work, tons of steel to recycle there

[@Pedro90000]

Did safe dem Bury any asbestos on the read Road land 🤔 😉

[@stewartmcmanus3991]

3.55 steel from Dorman and Long, Middlesbrough.

[@JFrizey]

It's sad when you think of all the design and construction that went into them, months of architects drawings wipped out in seconds

[@count69]

All that steel. All those contracts, all those jobs putting it together. Imagine, they would have been carpeted, painted, wallpapered, full kitchen and bathroom suits.

@@count69 Refubrished? With who's money? Rembember that 5 thousand people lived there, in extremely in-humane conditions. The maintenence costs were unbeliavable high and everyone living there was at huge risk of being contamined by asbestos, which couldn't be removed from the buildings, unless they were stripped down to it's core.

Horrible asbestos ridden things the joiners that cut all the asbestos panels will be dead now off Mesotheliom Most dead at 60 They were called the white mice

[@conorjamesmahoney5941]

The apartments look a bit dingyand dark.

Safedem have had some real bloopers in their time.

[@JamesCampbell-b1w]

Dorman And Long Middlesbrough, Were The Company Who Provided The Steel For The Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia, But, The Two Men Responsible For Its Construction, Were Scotsmen, Wallace Ellis, And Businessman Mungo Scot.We're Everywhere, Scotland Forever, Jimmy Campbell.😂😅😊

[@XmanSully]

This doesn't look so successful. Looks like a near miss. The building went down all over the place

[@jamespatrickmcinch2519]

A blot on the landscape removed.

[@maggiemcd403]
