Flats in Glasgow are getting blown up this weekend, 2 were blown up last year, quite unusual for about here, especially since there was a ban on explosive demolition until recently.

They were the flats in one of the episodes of Detonators (Discovery geeks)

I can't find anything at all about the one at the weekend apart from on forums.

Last time it was a big event, which I missed

Not sure why it's all hush hush this time.

Anybody interested in this or, more unrealistically, know anything about it?

I've got no sound, that was just the first one I came across

There are probably much better detonators vids somewhere.

One of the last 2 they brought down was only 8 metres from that track, they managed to get it down without damaging it, impressive.

Saturday night/Sunday morning as far as I can make out.

I can't see anything online to back that up though (apart from forums).

This made me laugh

"Anyone know what they're gonna replace them with? "

"Caravans. Pikey bastards."
