Hirwaun flats to come down

hirwaun.jpgI'm away to Wales for the bank holiday weekend. My Dad's birthday and my niece's and they're knocking down the flats at the top of the Cynon Valley. Should be a good view from up the side of the mountain.

The grandparents will be pleased to see their other grandchildren too, and I'm taking their bikes.

Each block will have four blast floors that will produce 7000 tonnes of rubble per block. Controlled Demolition explosives expert, Mick Williams, commented: "The two blocks will be reduced to rubble in less than 10 seconds, and we've designed the collapse mechanism so that the towers fall on a slight tilt, towards each other and away from the local properties."
