My dads friends dad was working on one of the towers and he fell of it, half an hour before a truck came and emptied a load of sand, he landed in the sand breaking near enough every bone in his body but he survived

[WindyMcFart]

Used to be able to see them from my Nan's house. Sad to see that they got knocked down, especially when so many people wanted them keep up.

[wordscontrolminds]

stupid cunts clapping, they would have made a brilliant pair of giant vases with giant daffodils inside!

[thebezzaful]

can''t believe its three years since :/

[JackAttackOfficial]

Such a shame! They should have never been demolished, they were a sheffield landmark. My granddad lived in tinsley all his life and I am glad he didnt see this it would have made him very upset.

@Spongebob2900 - yes, i'm prepared to pay to keep them, in the same way that I'm prepared to pay to preserve other pieces of art that are iconic of Sheffield.

[MsTed27]

tramps y did dey do dat

[sohailm79]

I live in that area

[trackmaniakid27]

omg a peice fell off after the second blast

[Spongebob2900]

Oh come on!! Industrial heritage? They were concrete behemoths in need of destruction as they were unsafe. If you want to keep them your bloody rates would have gone up....are you prepared to pay to keep them?

[jiggyjoel619]

this is proper demorolising, im only 18, but it hurt me seeing them go down :/

[decz4life]

that was so sad to see them go. used to love seeing them on the tram :(

[pjthedj64]

I am from the US. Where were these towers located?

[TRreader85]

[pjthedj64]

Thank you from across the pond!

[volvomantom]

Sheffield, which is in South Yorkshire, England.

[pjthedj64]

Thank you Volvomantom. Been to England one time back in 1995 in the New Castle Area.

[volvomantom]

Really? Sorry to hear about that! :P

[inchwormrocker]

sheffield!

[blackfairyprincess94]

The way they fell, it looked like they were made from paper instead of concrete.

Good view, best I've seen so far

[202free]

im gutted about them going it was a landmark ):

[sharnibows]

Best Quality Ive Seen Yet =) Nice Work

[MakeShift07]

Lol Nice

[blacktalon2007]

lol so close to my house XD

[wvziccardi]

Wow... I always wondered why they had never got rid of them before when I was a kid, but seeing them go like that is like watching a pet die. Shame, but, they were unused for god knows how long so the upkeep must have been insane.

[nja1969]

From Derby to Bradford when I was at Uni, I knew I was half way there when I passed the towers. They were a landmark. More cheap housing for scummy dole dossers will probably be built on the site.

[Risolo]

That is so true!

[bnprenaissance]

This was a part of our industrial heritage and it has been destroyed.We should preserve these historical sites.

[garybaldy72uk]

Aye its gonna seem strange going to sheffield on a train ow these Two Landmarks have gone .... Superb Video!

[Supersecretfilms]

i was there it was grand

[madbiker53]

they always been their as long as i can remeber its saddenin to see them go

[shane22shane]

wos u got really close

[sayles678]

am from sheffield sad to see them go

[greggs93]

true its like the twin towers of 9/11 but british and with out the planes.

[brownz]

And the fact that thousands of people didn't die and the fact that it wasn't a government conspiracy and the fact that it was a controlled explosion. Other than that yeh it was pretty much like 9/11 lol!

[grubbysoles]

Good vid. I still think it's quite sad, the death of 2 icons of the North :-(

[bladesman123]

that one of the best i seen, were u part of the demolition crew or something ?
