Thanks! I've always felt a little sad seeing residential towers come down, it makes me think of the number of people who have lived there, had kids there, parties, birthdays, Christmasses, etc... each building is so full of memories, for so many people. That's why I like to do such a good job of documenting it!

Thanks susant1971, a lot of preperation and work went into this film. Glad you liked it!

Thanks! The shoot was meticulously planned out, to the last detail. The playground shot was set up just before the blowdown, then that camerman legged it to the other side of Ferguslie park, so he was quite safe! Camera got a light dusting, though!

In an explosion (top), force radiates away from a source. With implosion, the object collapses upon itself (generally being crushed by an outside force). Like a submarine diving too deep.

You certainly do! It has encouraged my parents, my brother and I to write up a big list of everything we remember from Millarston Court. We've all seen your video and now the memories are really coming back! So thanks for helping us to remember some really great times!
