Demolition Red Road Flats Glasgow 10th June 2012 @ 12.45pm carried out by Safedem. Thanks to http://www.youtube.com/user/remoteale... for use of webcam video.
The Red Road Flats make up a condemned high-rise housing complex which lies between the districts of Balornock and Barmulloch in the north east of the city of Glasgow, Scotland. The estate originally consisted of eight multi-storey blocks. Two are "slabs", much wider in cross-section than they are deep. Six are "points" — more of a traditional tower block shape. The slabs have 25-32 floors, the points 31, and taken together they were designed for a population of 4,700 people. The point blocks are among the tallest buildings in Glasgow at 89 metres (292 ft), second in overall height behind the Gallowgate Twins (109 Bluevale Street/51 Whitevale Street) in Camlachie, but still hold the record for the highest occupied floor level of any building in Glasgow, and the roof of the point blocks are the tallest man made point above sea level within the city boundaries.
Views from the upper floors draw the eye along the Campsie Fells to Ben Lomond and the Arrochar Alps, then west past the Erskine Bridge and out to Goat Fell on the Isle of Arran continuing south over Glasgow and East towards Edinburgh.
The first block, the 25 floor slab block, was demolished by controlled explosion on June 10, 2012[1] The steel structured tower took just six seconds to fall after a series of carefully timed explosions, using 275kg of explosive, ripped along the building around the 6th to 8th floors.

    sad to see these go! iconic landmark for 40+ years, unfortuanlty blighted by crime and in the wrong hands fell apart!

    looked brilliant of a night time 20 years ago when they were all full with residents!
