It will demolished in 2015 using explosion

Used to visit my Granny in one many years ago.And my Mum got her first flat there to,but we moved to a house when I was born in Barmulloch. The flats were killers though many people got cancer from aspestos from them,and never even knew it till it was to late

That was some nice explosions, thanks for the video.

They are demolishing a large hotel and shopping centre in my town after only 50 years! Been documenting the progress

Is there any chance of getting hold of the raw fottage form this demolition for a project I'm doing?

@01:15... I noticed there is a slight gray tone near the levels of the building where the explosives are detonating, is that netting to reduce shrapnel?

A part of a scaffold, or just some transparent plastic there.

Good point about the millions originally spent on constructing these towers Razni, and the question you raised about the structural integrity. The actually look quite modern to me, although I read that some weren't very well insulated (critical in Scotland). Aside from one of these being an odd looking demolition (normally buildings like this are supposed to collapse vertically the way the World Trade Centre was) I looked this up trying to find out what the building that the founders of ACDC lived in. It's clearly been demolished. I wish the council would plant an urban forest here because it looks so bare now...

RGTsilversteam Indeed, but the demo guys had that in mind, part of the technique. The design of the block meant it couldn’t be imploded either from one end falling to the other, or have it fall completely over like a tree, would’ve used too much explosives. They always say in demolition documentaries that when rigging a structure for blowdown, the fewer explosives needed, the better. By placing the explosives only half way up across a few floors to angle the blast, the top would fall sideways but still enough in a downward direction to not only crush the lower half of the building, but still avoid the nearby blocks. It’s a neat technique, it’s been used a lot actually to bring down high rise tower blocks in Scotland.

Once they were the biggest in Europe,and there was a massive waiting list to get one.For many people they are a marker,to know were you are in Glasgow.Funny thing is there is a eagle nesting in the one that is left,so they cant knock it down.

ASBESTOS & WINDOWS ALL REMOVED BEFORE DEMOLITION OF ALL RED RD FLATS

Most of the buildings that are demolished are in fairly good condition, millions are spent for its construction. Then why these structures are simply destroyed. Provided the building is not having construction issues then there is no point in dynamyting these large structures.

Watch jet demolition videos they're far better than this.
