[adam3296]

[ftpb1]

should of kept the junkies in it - then blew it up!

[heresgene]

What are they gonna build there now?

I'd of been gettin away from all that dust, surely it was hazardous. The other vid had people right in it. Some comments make think it was full of junkies, is that right?

[RacewallFan]

excellent angle you got on the demolition there mate, gota be the best on youtube

[xshewanx]

That's a bit harsh!! Hundreds of people died in the 9/11 bombin you insenitive bastard and my uncle was one of them!! Show some fuckin respect!!!

[mark191416]

Please accept my apoligies I have removed the comment my intention was to honour those murdered on 911 by drawing attention to the truth that 911 needs investigated. peace

[xXxDinoBabyxXx]

Haaaa I seen that fae Rathi ... I was fuked oot ma face tho XD ... much love xx

[GardenScene1]

[xxhipxhopxx]

Finaly!

[rockchickfairy]

wtf i cant believe ppl are talking about 9/11

it was only the old flats in broomhouse lol

[chappy1874]

great stuff galescott,many happy times in my memory of those flats as i stayed oppisite in the green.

[ticktacshacker]

anyone who links this with 9/11 needs there heads examining!!!!! no comparison as no civilian aircraft were used and no lives were lost....... glad to see the back of those drab dreary flats, should have put all the junkies and jakeys in there too would have solved most of Edinburghs problems in one large swoop

[axelfols1]

Where are they going to put all the tramps and neds now?

[Galescott]

a bit harsh are you not.

i know that area has a bad ref for a reason, but not everyone in broomhouse should be tarnished with the same brush.

[axelfols1]

Yes they should.

[david07592]

maybe the tramps are a bit down luck wise,but the neds should have been kept in there to give us a bit of peace

[clifford1943]

I wasn't reffering to tramps as in the ones you see in Hunter square etc. I mean the tramps that are jakeys who wear cheap clays and live in Broomy. If any tramps are reading this please accept my apology.

[irfaanfr]

9/11?

[vernymax]

WTC 7 reenactment ?

[geyser]

Notice the similarities in the formation of smoke caused by this detonation and the smoke of the WTC on 9/11. The cauliflower-looking smoke produced right after the detonation is the result of explosives...

[axelfols1]

are you an expert? No? Then shut the fuck up.

[geyser]

I work in the military with explosives and detonations being part of my job. We are taught the difference between smoke from a natural collapse and smoke from a collapse brought about by explosives, because knowing the difference could save our lives. It's scary for you, isn't it, to contemplate about 9/11 and 7/7 and wonder whether your protectors are actually the villains.

[clifford1943]

Do you take into account that not all buildings are costructed the same?? This has nothing to with being scared. Your the one who appears paranoid to me.

[3Johnys4U]

It looks like the building jews demolished in New York.

Did jews do this one for the insurance money?

[dys0n]

hahaha nice comment

[Fiddich123]

WTC7 all over again!

[jacktls26]

rumour says they did it to get rid of the packys

[geppebrillo]

9/11?

[DannyJones84]

shame it wasn't full of jocks

[SKANKER22SG]

And the video clealy shows the plane hitting the Marriott Hotel and then collapsing into its own footprint in 90 minutes due to fire.?????? And the bailout will save all you hard working American people. Just wait until October 2nd when the world sells America short!!!

[KingHutton]

playin a match at the time thought it ws thunder lol :L:L

[chumpster69]

Saw it from my bedroom this morning, and the huge cloud of smoke that blew West... Drove past tonight, and was impressed to see how neatly it's all collapsed; you can see all the layers of flooring, and the entire roof's come down almost completely intact, right on top of the rubble.

Magic.

[Galescott]

yeah i drove past it tonight too and was amazed at how neatly is has been done.

[BrendaBinnie]

Shame they can't do the same to Tynecastle Stadium!!! LOL

[stewdobbs]

seventies i believe

[bridesheadtube]

The building of Broomview House commenced in 1966, with the first residents moving in on the 18th of December 1967.

[colinpscott]
