The action is at 0:52 if you want to get right to it!
Listen out for the excited kid just after they go down...

It was truly awesome to see these go, and a little bit scary if I'm honest :-)
There was no official public viewing area, but thousands of people lined the edge of the exclusion zone to watch.

The three tower blocks (Glenalmond, Hermiston and Weir Courts) at Sighthill in Edinburgh were all demolished successfully just after 11am on 25/09/11.
