bollocks to any posh london mayors yapping on about ping-pong,,if you want a look at what makes us british look no further than thousands of people up at 3 am watching cooling towers crumble,,,millenium dome next please
It's amazing so many people came out to see them go. Sheffield really does love a party! Nice work; you really get a feel for the atmosphere. Thanks for sharing.
(btw, did I see a plane come in from the right just before the first tower came down? It's been 7 years. 9/11 jokey references are ok now. It's the law.)
Great video Jimmmy, you captured the feel of the night, I particularly liked the guy with the plaquard which said it all 'E-on F OFF', I think the North Tower had a similar reponse when it refused to come down properly. LOL. Just peed off that it didn't fall on the M1 & cause E-on a large sum of money to put right! What a great atmosphere though, so glad I stayed up & went down. A very sad but impressive occasion. Gonna miss them towers!
i think its funny that e-on decided to demolish them because of 2 things
1 - they were unstable and could have collapsed
2 - they were two expensive to keep there
aka a bunch of bull shit e-on have announced they are going to build a power station in their place infact that will cost over
3 MILLION £ !!!!!!!!!!!! AND ALSO THE FACT IS ONE OF THE TOWERS EVEN AFTER HAVING THE BOTTOM OF IT BLOWN OF STILL STAYED UP 4 A COUPLE OF SECONDS!!! --- UNSATBLE... LOL BUNCH OF BULL SHIT
There was that first bang, that I think was a signal, then the fog horn went on till the rea explotions started. Not sure if it was part of the setup or some random person, but it added to the excitment last night !!
lol yeah we wer stood next to debs on the top car park everyone heard that bang n i think probably fumbled for the video cameras in expectation of the towers goin down, we only heard the bang we never heard the fog horn so most people wasnt ready for it which id be gutted about if i didnt catch it but i managed to which im happy about =)
